| The left one is James’ and the right one is mine though you can probably tell from the fact that his side is full of black XD We stack all of our hats on top and the scarves are folded under that. Seeing how messy it looks makes me want to have a big clean out and get rid of everything >_< I hate throwing things away in case I can reuse them but sometimes when I get in the right mood I will just go nuts and throw everything away.My side of the shelves in more detail:
I do try to be organised and actually keep the clothes sectioned according to type but a lot of the time I end up squishing things where they can fit.
Next to my shelf is a smaller shelf that has little things that need to be organised but don’t have a proper place yet. On the top of that shelf is my present bag. My friends and I often give each other little gifts as you’ve probably seen the package swaps I used to do in my snapshots posts (I’ve had to mostly stop now because international shipping is so freaking expensive), so this is where I keep everything before it’s given away. Now when I see something someone I know might like I just keep it in the bag until I can see them!
Beneath that I have sunglasses and James’ belt buckles, I’ve been thinking about deco-ing one of the pairs. I only ever switch between two of them so the other seem kind of wasted!
Below again is scarves and ties all rolled or folded so I can see which is which at a glance.
And below again are the tissues, handkerchiefs and face washers. All of this used to be in the cube part of the wardrobe but it fits much better here.
Moving on to some other random decorating around the house, I decided to take Miss Glo-w’s advice on my diy chandelier and add some pearls. I bought this chain thing which is supposed to go around a wine bottle for $2…
Cut the bottom off…
And glued it to the centre of the piece. Extra cuteness. I’m going to keep adding strings of various things to it as I get them and eventually when I have a backyard again I’ll probably spray paint it with chrome so it’s super shiny.
Someone also asked about one of the places I posed in front of in an outfit post. My apartment has these gigantic glass panels on most of the doors and walls, they are very pretty but also not quite opaque enough for my taste so I covered them in cheap damask wrapping paper for a little extra privacy and an extra pretty detail.
On the other side I use chalk pens to draw when I get the urge. I haven’t done it in a while so they are still decorated in bees from my Pushing Daisies obsession ^_^ I started drawing flowers and daisies at the bottom to match but got bored so ended up temporarily gluing some in place until I can get more inspiration for it.
And I think that’s about it for now! Hope you all enjoyed and it gave some ideas ^_^ I would love to hear/see how you decorated your places!
Have a great weekend! |
Aw cherie!~ you took my advice?! I think you did an awesome job as always ^^
Hell yeah! You always have the best ideas :D
hi violet i was wondering if you could do some tourtorials for clothing for people with weight problems i want to wear cute stuff like you but i always look fat in stuff :( thanks mia
Hi Mia, thanks so much for your comment and sorry my first reply didn’t go through. That’s a tough request as it’s definitely not my area of expertise but I will add it to my to-do list and see what I can come up with. I wouldn’t want to tell people what they should and shouldn’t wear at all. In the mean time I would recommend checking out the lovely Rai’s blog over at http://blarglefargle.blogspot.com/ I’m not sure what size you are but her bio says she’s a 16-18 and I think she is absolutely adorable and always dresses beautifully. Also she is a really nice person too! If you’re interested in Lolita clothing you might check out this livejournal community: http://egl-plus.livejournal.com/ I know there are also a lot of plus sized Lolita bloggers who might be able to help but I’m not sure of their names off the top of my head. Nat at http://extralargeaslife.com/ is also super cute and there is a whole thread on plus sized fashion over here: http://www.aussiebloggersforum.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=62
Hope that helps a little bit and sorry I couldn’t be more helpful, it’s really not an area I know much about so I’m off to do more research! Sorry again for this late reply, no idea why my previous comment didn’t go through!

Haha it is very hard to turn my brain off sometimes XD
My favorite part is the window covers. That’s such a good idea!
:D Getting ideas for your new place?
First time checking out your blog and I have to say I’m impressed with your ability to work with a small space like that! My current apartment doesn’t have a place meant for clothes, so I’ve made due with a tension rod in the narrow living room closet (curse you, impractical futon storage closet), but my system doesn’t look nearly as structured.
Thanks so much for commenting Lexi :D Oh having a tension rod sounds like a great idea, I’ve put a little second one up in the cupboard so I can have two rows but it has a habit of falling over >_< Damn small apartments!
