today's gonna be a long day
hello my friends it's nina :)
today i am planning to do a major room makeover
or at least i hope it's a major room makeover
because i bought a lot of stuff but
honestly i don't know if i have the energy to do everything
this is basically the last time you're going to see my room like this
i'm getting rid of a few things, adding a few things
i am just in need of some change in my life
so it is currently september
it is nearing the end of-
i swear i thought it was the middle of september
so it's almost october
that means it's fall, it's almost winter
which means shorter days
which means less sunlight
my room as it is doesn't get a lot of sunlight
i currently have my curtains all the way up
this is the only way i can get as much sunlight into my room as possible
by the time it gets to 4 or 5 pm
it starts to get dark and it's not a great lighting situation
one of my biggest changes is going to be this thing here
this shelf is going to go and i'm replacing it with a white shelf
it's the same exact shelf but in white
i was considering painting it, but i don't have paint
i decided to order the same shelf in white
i'm going to put this in another room
i do like this shelf but just not in my room
and then i'm also replacing this mirror with a white mirror
hopefully this makes my room like brighter and hopefully a little bigger
i'm also going to replace this storage cart with another storage cart
this was kinda a last minute decision
if you remember one of my older vlogs
i bought this, i built it
this will be going to the bathroom
and i got a nice green grey little cart
so that's going to happen, there's just a lot i'm going to change
i'm also building a little nightstand because
next to my bed i don't have a nightstand or any proper storage
i also saw some stuff on tiktok
basically a lot of people on tiktok have those led lights on their walls
i heard those attract spiders :0
i never really had a spider problem in my room
but i also don't have a lot of light in my room
so i'm going to just try it out
i bought some led lights, they're pretty short
i don't plan to hang them on my ceiling
a lot of people just hang it on the ceiling
if you can see they hang it like this
but my ceilings are way too high for me to reach
and i don't want it all over my room
i am planning to focus the lights just on my windows
i have two windows
we'll see how that goes
but hopefully that brings more light to my room
i only have that lamp, a lamp on my desk,
and then some led fairy lights that i have
i also bought some cute little decor pieces
there's a lot that i have to do but change is good
we're going to say goodbye to this shelf
just a few months ago i actually set this up all nicely
and now i have to remove everything again
i guess let's just get started
oh
hopefully the white shelf will be able to blend in with my white wall
and then it'll kinda just look like,,, a wall
i'm going to remove my polaroids
all my albums, books, accessories, paintings, all that
this is going to be a mess
i worked so hard on this
that's okay, this will all be worth it in the end
hopefully
oh wow it's empty
i see the polaroids, i'll do that
the shelf is now completely empty
i'm going to remove this and we're going to build the new shelf
thank you for your time
i'm gonna use it in another room so this isn't goodbye
ok time to go
it's easy to slide
thank goodness
it's empty
so i actually do wanna show you one thing i got
here is the storage cart i was talking about
i built this on a different day
and it's cute
it has a nice subtle green grey color
i think this would go well with the red furniture pieces i have
i think one day if i ever do get tired of my red furniture
i might paint that because
these dressers are huge
i don't really wanna get rid of them
they function perfectly fine but it's just the color
i do enjoy the bold red color though
so i'm sticking with that for a while
and so i got this green cart
i'm going to replace that cart with this cart
i'm not really sure what i should be doing right now
i think i'm going to fill this shelf up first
so i can get rid of as much as possible right now
perfect
here is everything so far
everything else will go inside the new shelf
i am currently filling up this cart
and then this is just complete emptiness
we're getting somewhere though
so saying goodbye to this cart
here's the new cart
this one is less wide
so i have room here for a cute little basket
which means more storage
i recently bought a basket, i'm going to put it here
it's going to carry my purses, bags, miscellaneous items, all that
just optimizing as much space as i can
you can also throw in pillows, blankets,
other lightweight items
but this area is basically done for now
so cute
i think now i'm going to finally build a shelf
this is not going to be easy
this is also going to take a very long time
let's get into the time lapse
you ok?
no
so i just continued building
i just wanted to mention that a lot of the furniture i got in this video are from ikea
not sponsored
the gren cart, basket, this shelf and other stuff are from there
and i'll have links down below for you
omg i'm so tired
finally i placed my new mirror into my room
and this time i actually decided to put the mirror next to my closet and i pushed my shelf closer towards my door
oh this is so much better
i realized this was much more practical and it gave me a little more physical space
and it looked like i had a 3rd window
next i just built my little nightstand
this was easy to build so i finished making it quickly
for the last year and a half that i lived here
i've never had a nightstand so
i was excited to have more storage
i could have functional, useful things near me
such as lip balm, hair ties, things like that
i could have my water bottle near me
and recently i started reading again so i have a book near me as well
it's just a great time
and another thing i decided to do was
add these colorful fairy lights to the inside of my shelf
i did this to illuminate the shelf
and add another point of brightness in my room
i thought it would also help to display the things i had in my shelf
such as my kpop albums, my books, makeup, accessories and other things
i just taped up the lights using washi tape
as for my nightstand i just placed a bunch of items to make it look nice
i added some vases, hopefully to put flowers in in the future,
some scrunchies, a lip balm, hair clips and hair ties
and a nice salt lamp for some extra light
i love the red pink color of it
and next i cleaned up my desk
i added a little organizer for my journals and electronics
and i took out some things to make my workspace more practical, organized, and minimal
while also adding a few more things
i got little boxes to stow away random items, and it's all organized!
whew, i'm so tired
it is currently 9 pm
it is still not too very late
but it is nighttime so we don't have daylight
that means i'm going to try to finish my led lights tonight
while it's still nighttime
i'm not really sure how it's going to go
as you can see i have some lights going on
it took me a very long time to get these fairy lights up
but they're up
i love the color
and then back there i have the same fairy lights
they were shorter so i just hung it behind my turntable audio system
just for a pop of light there
i think it looks so cool
i definitely have a lot more light going on
and i honestly just have a lot more space
ah i'm so happy about everything
and then over there i figured out my nightstand situation
water tastes so good after a day of physical activity
delicious
now i'm going to hang up the rest of my led lights
and hope that goes well
hopefully it's not very confusing
i honestly think i'll be able to finish everything tonight
so let's keep going
i'm really so happy with how everything's going on right now
my room just looks more like how i want my room to look
also another thing
i'll actually just show you my items
i have a few more items for my room
and then everything should be done
all the fairy lights i have are battery powered
so it's not using my plug outlets
or my home electricity
there are a few items that are going to be using actual electricity
but i'm going to have these unplugged anyway
only plug them in when i need it
and that's probably gonna be not all the time
i just want these lights for special occassions
alcohol prep pad, i'm assuming this is for the wall
oh,, i mean-
this shouldn't go terribly
and then i just have one more kit
i'm going to cover my windows
that's it, i'm not going to do my entire ceiling
i also got some-
i saw this on the internet as well
this is just a crystal that you hang by a window
and this is supposed to reflect light
and kinda make it look like it's raining colors
and finally, this is my big purchase that i've made
i was honestly gonna skip this but you only live once
i bought a night light projector
it's one of those galaxy light projectors
i don't know how this works either
OH! oh i swear this is usb powered
so a thing about this projector is that
i think this also works if you have a power bank, which is useful
especially because i'm not going to use this all the time
i can connect it to my power bank
i hope this is charged
i don't think it is
let's see
it's charged!
i will use this
so this is a power bank, this is what i used for my concerts
now i'm putting it to another good use
here is the projector
oh my goodness
so i don't know what to do
does this need a battery?
hello?
how does this work?
bluetooth mode
point that away from yourself
it works!
oh my goodness
i am now going to try to put up the led lights
these are basically tape
so it already has adhesive
let's do this
i kinda hung up my led lights very lazily
i didn't take the time to rub the walls with alcohol
or hold the strips to the walls for multiple seconds
definitely do that if you want to but
i just pressed on the strips as firmly as i could
and they're holding up pretty well
they come with remotes and you can change the colors, brightness, all that
i really loved the results
pretty
this is so nice, especially at night
i'm not gonna have these on during the day of course
but at night my room was always so dark
i'm so happy oh my goodness
this is reminding me of the days when i did have lights in my room
i actually used to have string lights on my wall
you might have seen them in my older videos
it's nice to have these lights
it's just a nice addition of light and color
especially over here because i had no light going on
now i have my salt lamp, i have my led lights here
and because of this mirror placement
it looks like i have a third window
but that's just the magic of mirrors
i'm so happy with how my room turned out
it's so cute
here is a full view of my room at night
so much more light
and i'm not even using all my lamps
love it
i still have to do a little decorating
some cleaning
i have to wipe my mirror
but this is pretty much it
this is basically it for the room makeover
and i love how my room basically has a day mode and a night mode
i'll show you my room as it is at night
i love how i have much more light in my room
as usually it was always hard to film at night
now i have plenty of options and i just love the cozy atmosphere
and then here is my room the next morning
i actually did hang up the crystal and the morning sun
hit the crystal and displayed all these rainbow spots around my room
and it was so pretty!
it made my room feel kinda magical
i also just love how everything ties together
and feels cozy in the day time as well
i hope you enjoyed this room makeover
and maybe got some ideas or just had a good time
i might do an updated room tour one day
to go more into detail with my entire room
i know there are items and corners of my room i haven't mentioned yet
so i could talk about them next time
but for now, thank you for watching
and i'll see you next time!
i am sending you all a virtual hug
stay safe and healthy
and goodbye my friends :)
