The Stories of a Twentysomething
Over the years I’ve been inspired by A Beautiful Mess’s incredible print collages. I’ve always dreamed of adorning my walls in a similar fashion. Unfortunately by being in a rental, my options are restricted. Thankfully I was introduced to the magic of washi tape a few years ago (cheers Typo), and I’m constantly finding new and inventive ways of decorating my life with them.
In 2014, when it was time to jazz up our home after our year-long renovation, there was one element of my room that I was particularly eager for: my desk. Over the last seven years, my bedroom hasn’t simply been “my bedroom”. It’s been my study quarters and, more recently, my office space. Trying to find a balance between bedroom, office, storage and library hasn’t been easy over the years. It felt like every few days I was cleaning up the scatter across my desk or re-filing documents. No matter how many times I stored away books and journals, they always seemed to stack up and cop an elbow. But despite the frustration and the restorations I’ve endured, it’s still my little sanctuary.
