a well furnished room

It is kind of an Asian thing, to have crappy decor. Not that the decor in my house is entirely crappy. It's somewhat coordinated. The living room is pink. The dining room is browns. But it's not entirely cohesive. And my room, is periwinkle, with lots and lots of boxes and papers and other stuff. I guess the key is to get rid of all the stuff that doesn't match. But I like to keep things. My clothes, I like to keep until they are worn out, which could be forever. If you wanted to just keep wearing them fashionlessly you could keep your clothes for years. Which is what I do... except I don't wear them, I just keep them in the bottoms of my drawers. And the interior decorating, I've thought about for some time as a concept, as something I'd like to do. For at least one of the rooms in my house. It is difficult because no one else is really interested or wants to help me. I keep telling my friends hoping one of them will want to come shopping with me or something, offer some guidance, because I have no experience at it, and don't know what it's like to live in a well-coordinated place. But in the absence of that I turtle along by myself, and maybe eventually something will come out of this idea. Things move slowly when left to only me. I do have the idea that I like earthy things, instead of like, modern stuff. Though I do like the barcelona chair and chaise lounges, which are kind of modern. Maybe I would have one room with the bold colors and another with the earthy ones.
