You guys don't know how obsessed I am with trying to figure out how to decorate my dorm, despite the fact I haven't actually seen the interior of my dorm and there are (wow...EXACTLY!) 20 days until I go to college. But, apparently, 20 days, to me, means "YOU HAVE TO PLAN EVERYTHING NOW OR YOU'RE SCREWED!"
The whole concept that I have in mind is inspired by A Tale of Two Sisters, especially this song (god I'm obsessed with this song!). It's sort of macabre fairy tale, I guess even Grimm fairy tale, kind of vibe but, basically, I want it to be girly and very flowery, but with a darker side. It might even get a little folksy (I'd like to call it gypsy grandma), especially since there are a lot of knickknacks I've acquired during my travels waiting to be used. There also should be a type of melancholic nostalgia, an emotion I believe the song/theme invokes.
BUT, I'm stuck. All I have are tiny trinkets that I know I'm going to bring, 1830483284 ideas/objects for jewelry storage, all my bedding bought, and so many things that I'll hang on my walls. However, I don't have any of the bigger, more important issues/elements finalized, except a most likely set-in-stone book storage idea. How "creepy" should it be? How can I add "macabre" elements without looking kitschy? Should I even try to buy bigger items? Can I hang stuff from the ceiling? How should I decorate my aesthetically inconsistent lamps (aka they are very modern, even dull, looking)? Does one of my duvet covers even match the theme? Do I have too many knickknacks? Am I bringing my music stand (which can be incorporated)? Should I get a rug?
(That last question isn't even important ha ha)
Ugh. I know I'm so hung up on something so trivial but this is the first time I actually get to decorate my room creatively (since I never had the initiative with my "childhood room") and I can get somewhat perfectionist. I should probably stop brooding about it and do something else. BUT I AM OBSESSED!
