If
you have your own room, you know that it can be a place to get peace
and quiet, or where you can turn up your favorite music...
it
can be a place where you can get privacy, or where you can hang out
with your friends...
it
can be a place you decorate your way, but also the place that is your
responsibility to keep neat and clean.
Today
is set aside for everyone who has his or her own room to take the
time to appreciate it! Maybe you will want to reorganize or clean
your room. Maybe you will want to treat yourself to a cute new wall
switch plate or wastebasket. Maybe you can make a floor plan by
drawing your room to scale (hint: use graph paper) and cutting out
rectangles and circles that are scale representations of your
furniture. Be sure to mark doors, closets, and windows on your scale
drawing—and then play around with new and different arrangements of
your furniture.
Or
you can try using an online tool such as the Better Homes and Garden website to make and manipulate a floor plan.
But,
wait!
I
know that a lot of you are thinking—but, wait!—I don't have a
room of my own!
You
can carve a private corner from your shared bedroom or somewhere
else. One of my daughters used to work on a cruise ship, where she
had to share a really tiny room with another woman. She found a
little window seat where she could curtain herself off from the rest
of the ship, and she could read and daydream and watch the ocean roll
by in her own little spot. Here are a few ideas for creating a
private hide-out or retreat:
- Make your bed into a canopy bed to make it a private oasis in your shared room.
- Find a special nook in your yard or even in a backyard tree. Or think ahead and grow a teepee or playhouse in your garden.
- These window seats may inspire you to look around and see if you can change a window into a pillowed, cosy nook. Is there a window between a bookcase and a corner? Tuck a chair, a giant beanbag, or a pile of pillows into that spot.
