J'habite a Vichy!

I just moved into the biggest room I have ever called home. It is also the most drab (yellow walls, green carpet... wool curtains?). But that is no matter because it's huge (!!!), not just in size of space but also in size of bed and size of windows. And here I was, expecting everything in France to be small per the stereotype.

Unfortunately, I lost my camera cable so I can't upload pictures. Not that I have taken any on my camera, but maybe I would have if I had a cable. Here are a couple from my high quality photobooth cam to prove that I actually ended up in the place I've been talking about for 6+ months.

My bed, desk, closet and one of my chairs (currently holding all my winter wear) being modeled by my super chic french housemate*.


And there are my windows. Yesssss. The desk is also being modeled... for stylistic purposes.

If you're reading this, give me ideas on how to make my room brighter/lighter plz. I have already taken a couple measures, such as pulling back the curtains as far as they would go (genius, I know) and also tying back a tea-colored wall hanging that covered a white door (seen in both photos behind the desk). The hanging is being held back by a computer cord, so maybe this innovation isn't an upgrade. I am considering buying a rug in a "happy" color, as well. Ok, begin brainstorming!


*in all seriousness, I do have a french housemate. He is a 19 year old from the East of France who will henceforth be referred to as my "coloc", a french term for housemate.
