Syeikha Zulaikha: My hostel room transformation

I've been living in hostel room like, roughly, 6 years. The first time that I live far from my family was when I was sixteen, I was sent to a boarding school for the first time in my life. Of course, it was hard at the first time but you just kinda get used to it and live on, though if you ask me I would say I love my home better. Home sweet home, right?

Okay, cut it short.
I actually wanted to share to you guys the transformation that I've done to my current hostel room in Lot 77, Kolej Kasturi. I always did a small transformation before this to my past room but so far this transformation was the biggest and the one that used up my money T.T

But it's okay.
In the end I like the transformation so so much. I feel like home here now.

Here's the before and after transformation.

Okay first we take a look at my study table.

This is my roommate's study table before. I forgot to take picture of mine. It's almost the same basic table so, I'll just use hers. Haha.

For the study table, what I do was just purchasing a :

60 meters length of 'very elegant' wallpaper from Kaison,
3 cork board ( 2 of large size and 1 small size) for MR.DIY,
Cute pink wooden letter from MR. DIY
A lot of wooden label from MR.DIY
Japanese lace from DAISO
Heart shaped push pin from DAISO
Cute note holder 'tree shaped' from MR.DIY
An electrical aromatherapy light from LOVELY LACE

So, all I did was make use of the wallpaper and wrap the 'basic' study table that I've. The reason I use wallpaper rather than usual wrapper is that it water resistant so you don't have to buy plastic wrapper to double wrap it again. Then I use the extra wallpaper to make my notice board. The outline of the notice board I stick the Japanese lace that I got from DAISO and add on some motivational lettering on the notice board. I use two large cork boards for notes and reminder. As you can see below the cork boards I wrote the 'deadline' for reminder of any assignment deadline etc. I also had reminders for the upcoming exams. I use the smaller cork board as a timetable.

After transformation.

This is the zoom out of it.

Now, the bed. As you can see the bed and the wall above the head board was so so so plain.

Bed before.

So, I bought a new comforter set from Parkson, use the extra wall paper that I had to make a picture gallery above the head board.

Can you see, the large clock above the head board and my picture gallery board? I purchase it from MR.DIY. It is very light weight. It is actually a sticker clock. Yes. The clock was functioning. Don't worry.

I want to change the curtain but it will be too much for me. LOL

The carpet was from my old room. I've purchase it long time ago.

Yes marroon, pink is my ultimate theme

Bed after transformation

Okay, considering the costs, I just use the old book shelves that I had since I was in Year 1 of medical school. I just stick a wallpaper above the selves to give it a new look.

Then I just put my knitting stuff and flowers, also my aromatherapy candle on it and done!

And I also add some motivational lettering above it. Stay bubbly!
