Find Out How To Create A Florida Room All Fashion Lovers Will Want

The sunshine should be child play, nonetheless, within the past few weeks of spring, it seems like the sun has been struggling. Every time I step outside, I think it believes I am a newborn and set on playing a game of peek-a-boo. As the sun covers his eyes, I imagine the white sandy beaches, emerald palm trees, and refreshing drinks. Now, I am home from work and, the sun still did not uncover his hands from his eyes, I spent all day in a foggy mist.

Dreading my long day at my 9-5 job, I placed my things down on my kitchen counter. Getting settled at home; my feet shifted towards my bedroom. I curled up on my bed and opened up my metallic MacBook Pro. Looking for places to live, where the sun will shine more than three months a year. I decided to check out a real state website: Elliman.com. The website showcased various stunning Florida properties. I fixated on a few images and imagined living in the sunshine state.

Glancing at the pictures, I felt as if I was already there. Then an idea struck me like when you are watching cartoons, and a light bulb will magically appear over the character’s head. I decided to create my very own Florida room. The Florida room will be a place I can come home to, bringing the sunshine to my day all year round. One that will make me think you know what, I can use that sick day, and I don’t care if I am not sick. Then I skipped around my room, gathering my stacks of magazines, scissors, glue sticks, and my premade pattern boards I presented at my job as geometric printed sheet ideas for a client. If you are still wondering what I do, my position is a Sales and Merchandising Assistant at West Point Home, a home textile company.

Envisioning a huge window placed next to an open brick wall helped me start cutting pieces off a magazine. A setup I originally wanted for my room when I was looking for Brooklyn apartments. Now, how can I make an open brick wall room feel like Florida? The first thing I thought of was the emerald green palm trees and scoured the pages for a bed with the same hue. I decorated around the green bed and everything else found its place, situating well on the style board. The other details making up my dream Florida room are:

• Hanging Greenery
• Printed Leaf Waste Basket
• Mason Jar
• Multiple Paintings (including scenery, embracing vibrant colors and texture)
• Brazilian Walnut Wooden Sculpture
• A Bowl of fruits (placed perfectly on the dresser for midnight snacks and breakfast on the go)

As I was in the groove, I did not want to stop at my dream Florida room; I wanted to make my Florida room real. So, I set up a style board with things I can place in my apartment now. To brighten up the dullness of my eggshell white windows and walls, I incorporated a tangerine circle rug onto the style board. Everything else felt like I was connecting Lego pieces together. The other excellent points of my realistic Florida room are:

• Crystal Clear Glasses and Vase
• Hickory Wood Dresser
• White Quilted Headboard
• Stone Roundtable
• Bamboo Hamper
• Deep Teal Stool

I glimpsed at my floor; cutouts spread out, and pages of my magazine are now wearing thin. My Spotify is blasting music I can easily nod my head to, making me want the fun not to end. I decided to create one more room, a room for the future. Not me in 10 years, however, for a future mini-me. As I held my scissors, pondering what would my child in the future want as a sweet tropical escape. The first thing I can think off was merely apparent in any tropical area, SEASHELLS. Placing seashells in a wooden toy box would give it a peaceful feeling. The other goodies I styled in the mini-me room are:

• Printed Dec Pillows
• Printed Shower Curtains (used as window curtains)
• Frameless Standing Mirror
• Floral Wallpaper (used as an accent wall)
• Colorful Ceramic Vases
• Woven Acapulco Chair

After creating the future mini-me room, I shut off my Spotify. While I stood up, snipped magazine pages flew off my lap, and I decided to prepare myself for bed. As I got ready, my thoughts were multiplying with different places I can shop for my realistic Florida room, but let’s save that for a day where I am less sleepy.
