This whole project started when I just couldn't stand my dark cluttered room anymore, mostly my closet. The rest of the room was a decision I made on a whim later. Don't get me wrong, I loved my dark purple walls, but the dark color made it difficult for me to see anything properly. The carpet had been there for twenty years and had managed to survive my brother's abuse, my abuse, and my dog's abuse. If my brother and I weren't spilling drinks or paint on the carpet, my stubborn male dachshund was marking his territory on the corner of my bed everyday. For those of you who are lucky enough to have or have had a dachshund, you know what I mean.
