When I left for college, the one thing I was most excited for was being able to decorate my own room – my own space. Growing up, I lived in an imperfect square room with plain white walls. Most of the furniture was handed down and didn’t match. The walls were bare except for one diy project I made using paint chips. It was cute for like…a month. Even then, I was too lazy to take it down and do something else with it. Coming into college though, I was given a blank canvas with who I wanted to be and how I would personalize my space. You know how young girls idolize models and celebrities in magazines? – (at least that’s how many researchers and psychologists will describe it) That was me with home decor blogs. No matter how many inspired ideas I wrote down, I could never get it right. Was that a bad example? What I’m trying to say is that  it’s hard to have a perfect home. It’s not easy to have a perfect anything. I started to feel a little bit better when I came across a home with only cardboard-made furniture though. I was trying too hard, obviously.
