Becoming a Carmichael

Decoratng My Bathroom

Levi led me to my room and said Christian would be coming in soon and was going to take me shopping for decorations for my new room. I looked around and saw there was a king sized bed, a vanity, dresser , walk in closet, balcony, my own bathroom , and one of those mirrors that was indented into the wall with the 3 mirrors so you can see many angles of yourself. I was beyond amazed by the fanciness of the room. I heard a knock on the door then Christian walked in and told me it was time to go. I said it was not necessary and that the room was fine as it is. He didn't take that as an answer and dragged me out of the room to a new Chevy truck. I hopped in and we left.

The song 'We are never getting back together' by Taylor Swift came on and he turned the radio up. I heard a noise and I looked over and saw he was singing along. He looked at me and grinned then asked "What?" And I replied with "Nothing" " Jealous ?" "Nope" I say popping the p. he laughed and then continued on singing. After the chorus I began to song along also Christian look at me again with a grin on his face . "Now who's Jealous?" I ask. "You" "Don't Hate me cuz you aint me" I joke adding a rotation of my head and z-snap of my fingers while saying it. "well aren't you a little Smart-Ass" "Yeah...it helps when I wear yoga pants. apparently the intelligence makes it outta this world, and anyway we are here" He replies with a grin and a simple "k" and with that we went inside.

I had never been to a store like this so I don't know the name but it has lots of household decorations. Christian said we would go to the bath section first to decorate my bathroom. Then he said " Don't go to crazy shopping ,Mom and Dad only sent us with $1,500" My eyes nearly popped out of my head " Why so much?????" "I don't know because they are nice" " Clearly I will need to thank them but I don't think I am even going to need 500 let alone 1500" " So what now?" "pick stuff out"

I looked around for some things to decorate with until I found a rainbow shower curtain. It was 20 dollars but I really liked it so I put it in the cart. I grabbed a red rug for around the toilet, a orange rug for outside the shower, a yellow and green swirled circle one for under the hamper, and a green , blue , and purple one for under the sink. All the rugs only cost 60 dollars so I put them in the cart also. I got a cup for the sink that had rainbow stars on it, a toothbrush holder that was a cloud with the rainbow swirled around to hold the toothbrushes. Together they were 16 dollars. Lastly I got towels an wash cloths in the colors of the rainbow. So far I have only spent $120. I thought that was pretty cheap for a bathroom. Next we went to the bedroom section.

I got a container to set in a drawer to separate my make-up, a decorative basket for the dresser, a white bedspread with Rainbow zebra print on it, red and white zebra print sheets that fade into orange and then yellow, and a green and white zebra print pillow, a blue and white zebra print pillow and a purple and white zebra print pillow. I got a dry erase board for a to do list, some hangers , and some other odds and ends decorations. These along with bathroom supplies have only added up to $320. Christian said I could paint the walls if I would like but I said no and said that I didn't want to take advantage of his parents. He then said he had to grab something and he would meet me in the car he handed me 500 dollars and keys and went to a place in the store.

I followed his instructions and then put everything the family bought me in the truck box and got in and sat down. I was only sitting for 5 minuets before Christian came he had a bag and he put it in the back seat. When I asked what was in the bag he said that his mom told him to pick something up and it was no big deal what it was. The car ride was quiet. When we got back to their home I thanked Christian grabbed as many bags as I could and went to my room. As I was about to go get the rest of my bags I saw Kingston walking down the hallway will the rest of the bags.

I then thanked him. He offered to help me unpack and set up. I said I would like that. He then said we should start with the bathroom and I agreed. He told me to grab all my things I would need so we don't have to waste time and go back I'm the room. I understood why and grabbed the bags. I also grabbed my suitcases incase anything I would need was in them. I also grabbed all my shopping bags. Once we got all the stuff we needed out of the bags we got to work.

I set up the rugs while Kingston put the shower curtain up. I heard noises coming from my room so I asked Kingston what it was. He said it was probably his mom taking the sheets off the beds and other stuff so we don't have to. I replied with " oh good i have to thank her for the stuff I will be right back" but before I could go Kingston grabbed my arm and quickly say "NO" "....Why not" "uhhh... we should get this bathroom done at least before dinner. You can thank both Mom and Dad then" "umm o-okayyyy....then" He let out a sigh of relief making me start to think that his mom is not the person in my room but I let it slide and 30 minuets later we were done. Again when I was going to go out the door Kingston stopped me. "What now I want to start my room" "you should get a pic of your new bathroom" "why" "I don't know but you should" "fine" I say and stand in my bathroom by the shower while Kingston takes a picture.

I hear a knock on the bathroom door and I go into my room only to find....,
