Renovations and the big reveal

So we are doing some renovations at home and currently my job is to pick a design which I think will be most suitable for the entire second floor. So far we have furniture only for one room (not counting the bathroom which will be renovated as well). And I picked a few things over the internet as stuff I want to buy as well as designs which are really eye-catching and modern, yet I believe can stand the test of time.

One of the first designs I really liked. It`s not conventional, yet I`m not known to like extremely outdated and conventional things. I`m only worried that the wardrobe will be too wide to fit in the room. However, this reminds me of the trend: buy only the bed and buy the rest of the stuff separately. But I believe in the bedroom this trend is not very suitable. It will be very hard, I believe, to find suitable furniture for the bed if we are to look for them one by one. It will definitely take time and effort and I`m pressed for time right now. 
This is probably my favorite design. But again, I have some issues with the width of the wardrobe. It is too wide with an extra half a meter. I really don`t know how we are going to fix this problem. 
This is a very neat and minimalistic version of what I envision. Here the white walls are more important than the very regular bed itself. Since my boyfriend don`t want white furniture, the walls will be white so they will make a decent contrast to the dark furniture we`ll be putting. 
The bookshelf. This is for the cabinet room with computers. I have lots of books so I really need a place to put them. I have always been a fan of open shelving. Besides my desk right now is one that is made my the same tempered glass you can see on the picture so it will go well with it.
This is only a sample of what I want of my new desk. I am thinking of giving my own (it`s a big one) to my boyfriend. I really need another minimalistic thing other than the white walls which won`t be enough. The main theme will be black furniture and white walls. The accent will be interchangeable. I`m thinking of light green or purple. Red will also be an option. Pictures are very important. I am thinking of putting more picture on the walls. This will give the room the warmth it needs and leaving it not giving off the feeling of a hospital.
Okay, so picking out the right short couch is my work in progress. It definitely won`t be that one fore sure but I wanted to show what I envision the couch should be. Again minimalism contributes to the style because I believe that this is very modern and will continue to be such with years to come. After all, you don`t make renovations at home every day.
BONUS
This is a plan for the right place of every piece of furniture once the first room is finished. We are still working on that room. I used a bit of feng shui in order to achieve a balanced rearrangement with what I have.

New day new luck with a little bit of sport.

 I am very frustrated when it comes to making big and very important decisions. Today I have to update my CV and this gets me very frustrated as well. I have set myself a schedule, though - 9:00 am is for training some sport a bit or something like that. And since it`s not 9:00 yet, I decided to write here a bit.

 My mom is asleep right now which is very unusual for her since she wakes up so early. Today I woke up earlier than her and even had an early breakfast - the way things should be with me. So far so good you would say. But with no sport so far I feel soooooo lazy. Making a few exercises makes my brain and body work so much better.

 Usually I burn about 200 kcal on my crosstrainer. There were days with 300 and even 350. But 150-200 is optimal. I remember that I`ve started with 150 kcal when I first got my machine. I also don`t forget to eat enough proteins so my muscles don`t go saggy when I`m losing weight. To be honest, though, I`m not doing a brilliant job with this but at least I`m eating semi-well. My doctor told me that sport every day with at least 10 minutes of intensive training of some sport (almost any sport) is very good for me. Today I decided (like I promised my boyfriend) that I will include the weight lifting too. So now I should mention how much I lift. Back in 2015 (during spring-summer) when I used to go to the gym, it was 3kg/a hand. I couldn`t do more. It was hard for me. Now I lift 2kg but I feel like I can do more. 4kg will be challenging for me but who knows...

 And so I can`t wait for my mom to wake up so I can freely start listening to music and train. I like training to music. It has such an uplifting effect. And training at home has its benefits. No sweaty half-naked guys at the gym (ugly ones). No rap music (I`m mostly a metal fan) and most of all no cameras that watch your every move (one of the things that get me frustrated the most in this world).

 Since I sound so obsessed with my physique in this article, I want to share something else. I miss my blonde ombre. I feel like this was one of the best hair-styles for me. Back in 2015, I had it. I made it myself but later I had to go to a hair-stylist to make it better since I`ve cut my hair ridiculously.

 My mother just got up. Great. And it`s almost time for my routine training. I want to include the weight lifting after the cross-trainer for at least 5 minutes like a good beginning. Wish me luck. 

Scared
