Light

I LOVE light. I always feel better and happier when the sky is a rich blue and there is sunlight streaming through the windows and showering me when I step outside. And when it is dark or grey outside, I like lots of artificial light.
Reason: I can see better. It keeps me happy.

My room is lovely and light now. That was one thing I was really struggling with in this room, because I have very little natural light, days are shorter and I don't have much artificial light either. Obviously my new super cool lamp has altered that, but today I made it even better.

One: I changed the bed. I love fresh bedding, and I have changed it from my very cool purple and beige set, which is very patterned and kinda dark (in comparison with my other set) to my cream and pink set. The sheet and bottom pillow cases are bright pink and the duvet and upper pillow cases are cream with pink embroidered flowers (diagonally from the top left corner to the bottom right corner of the duvet and on the far right side of the pillow cases, with the result that it is mainly cream and bright :o) ).

Two: I pulled the dark blue venetian blinds down on the window. Germans don't have curtains, so besides the venetian blinds, I only have some hideous patterned lacy net thing across the window. Yuck. Also, it means that all the light escapes at night, and people can see in. :o(
So now I have pulled down the blinds and it is lighter and feels kinda cosier. It's still a dump though, but it's ok.

I added some new pictures to my dA today: www.elenamay.deviantart.com and one of them was favourited before I even got from the bit about whether I want to sell it as a print to the actual page for it.
