summer room makeover � � soft & cute, minimal, korean inspired aesthetic

I know it hasn't been all that long

since I've done a
"room makeover" style video

but my room has been in this layout
for at least half a year

and it's summer, so...

like, why not?

If you've seen my vlogs before

I've mentioned how I'm the type of person

who really needs to change up
her environment frequently

to feel inspired and motivated.

And with the new season coming

I feel like my room
could be more suited to summer.

So I'm going to keep that in mind

and rearrange some things today.

[To do: move the bed]
The main thing I want to do is move my bed

which is the largest furniture
I may have in my room

so I think when I find a new spot for it

everything else will have to
shift accordingly

giving me a whole new layout to work with.

I want a drastic enough change in my room

so I feel more inspired again,
like it's a new space.

Because I spend so much
of my time in this room

I don't want to get tired of it.

Just by rearranging stuff
and finding new places for them

is an easy way of giving yourself
a room makeover

without having to buy new things

or do any intensive reconstruction
or renovation.

So today is a room day.

Chapter 1. Moving the bed

My bed faces away from the window
and doesn't get much light during the day

so I want to move it
to the brighter side of my room.

And the process begins...

Noticing all the dust.

A tiresome but necessary
part of the process.

Last push.

If I have my bed on this side of the room
my closet is blocked

Aside from that I like my bed here...

Testing out the view of my room
if I were to lay here.

(from multiple angles)

Hmm

Testing closet practicality.

"Is there enough room for me
to reach the top shelves?"

"How about the far hangers?"

Many things to consider.

Yeah, it'll be a pain to get
certain things down

but my room is cuter like this.

Sometimes we accept minor inconveniences
for the greater good.

Now to fix the sheets.

The planks I'm using to elevate my bed
went into hiding.

It's time to overcome
your shyness, planks!

I'm going to change up the sheet design
while I'm at it.

Realizashun

"It's so wrinkly!"

After having these sheets
locked up in my drawers for 6 months

they're not looking the cutest.

At least these are the sheets
that will be covered.

I can't be bothered to wait
for them to airdry at the moment.

My fingers after I shower.

I am of the strong belief

that they have no business
looking like this.

Originally I had a white fitted sheet
And a pink sheet on top of that

but now it's reverse uno card

and we're doing white on pink this time.

I know, big changes are being
made out here. 😪

Intermission. Snack break.

Grapes are like candy in a fruit form

(chopsticks to prevent finger stickiness)

Is there a draft in here?

The temperature of the testes is
maintained at 95°F

So it is literally hot as balls here and
my fan is working hard

Casually dying

It may be summer, but the bed isn't
complete without a comforter

Wrinkles' disappearance act

The bed has finally settled into
her new home

Or has she?

I bought some fabric the other day

I love gingham print and it would
be nice to add more colors to my room

aside from pink, green and brown

Chapter 2. Diy pillowcases

I am going to begin my first project with
my new sewing machine

After measuring my pillows' length and
width, I am sketching a design

Approximate dimensions of my
queen size pillows

I am cutting pieces of 40" x 21.5" fabric

I still have to set up the sewing machine

I folded the fabric in half and it was
more than enough material for the cases

I am by no means a professional at
using this sewing machine

But trying my best to learn

Twitch keeping me company

Changing out the white and grey
pillowcases for more color

The bed: Complete

Chapter 3: Rearranging furniture

Shaking up the nest of charging cables

More like a dust bunny burrow...

Animal control has pulled up

I don't know if I like having something
at the foot of my bed

because I fell like

it would make me feel almost trapped

or cluttered in at least

When in doubt...

a POV check

Thinking hard?

Not really

Brain has partially recharged so I'm
putting this here for now idk

Need to fill in the empty spaces

I have also been waiting to move my desk
to a new spot

I am tired of working facing a wall

I want to move it in front of the window
so I am exposed to more light

This is more like it

Maybe this isn't as practical as
I expected

But I love how the natural light is
reflected off the glass surface

Sunlight is important for my happiness

Indecisiveness is giving me an arm workout

No, the first look was the best

trust intuition

Chapter 4: A few more logistics

I really want to change out some of the
clothes I have displayed

on my clothing rack

Because although I like the color
it brings to my room

I have a lot of sweaters and
warmer clothing

And it's not really the summer vibe

We want cute dresses and light tops
and stuff

Already experiencing the inconvenience of
the bed position...

Just looking at the knitwear
makes me sweat

Farewell sweaters and coats

The era had come to an end

Seriously wondering how long I'll last
with the bed here

I need to figure out the new
cable set up too

Chapter 5: Decorate & Colorize

I recently learned that this is how you
burn a candle evenly

Ufo candle

Flipping the reeds

My friend gave me this cute postcard

Looks even cuter up here

Still haven't got a new pot for this plant

but the least I could do is remove
this plastic hanger

This pouch used to sit on my desk

I am adding cooler colors
like blue and purple to my room

Before my goal was to only use warm colors

but summer calls for a freshness that
requires all colors of the spectrum

Summer bedroom: Fin

Chapter 6: Tour

My keys have a new place

So happy with how these turned out!

Bedding makes a big difference

Passed the POV check

Marking a friend's b-day

Having my glass desk here makes the room
much brighter

This new layout is very exciting

and it's bringing a lot more light to my
room or maybe that's just placebo

and I get over it in a week and decide to
rearrange my furniture again

But I'll do that when the time comes
as I'm now very satisfied

And my whole closet situation

It might be annoying to deal with it
but that's a me issue

I'm making that sacrifice

If it's gonna be too much,
I'll figure it out

For now, I hope you enjoyed
the beginning of summer

Hope you are taking care of yourself
and doing well

Take care friend
