cozy room and desk makeover 🪴 l-shaped desk setup, gaming station, decor haul

we’re halfway into 2023 and all i could think about is putting out an extreme-type vlog. enter: my room makeover sequel!
in this latest attempt at turning my room into my version of a cozy space, i experimented on an l-shaped or corner desk. the goal is to separate work from my dnd mode, hence the assignment of “main” desk and “hobby” desk. to kick off the latter, i set up my switch and turned it into a nice gaming station where i can peacefully babysit my villagers in “animal crossing,” race in mario kart,” and farm farosh’s scales in “breath of the wild.”
it’s an evolving space. a room that’s no longer minimal or monotonous (if ever it was one) but rather, a space that holds memories in every nook i look at. really proud and satisfied with how my room turned out. if you have a favorite part/s in this vlog, please let me know in the comments!
disclaimer: i've been told i have a tongue-in-cheek writing style, so you may find it seeping thru my captions. all views and opinions expressed here are solely my own. most importantly, this is a safe space so any type of negative or inappropriate comment won't be tolerated.

gonna be updating my own current set up somewhere around 2024 once I get the money to do so. I plan on getting a lot of the items from Facebook marketplace. As of right now I'm just looking at videos to get an idea of how to go about putting everything together once I have everything I need.

[@HeyJace]

great plan! researching while saving money sets you up for success. best of luck to you :)

[@celestiafanforever]

@@HeyJace thanks. I showed the pictures to my mom and she thinks that the stuff I chosen is nice. Some stuff may be switched out or not make the final cut.

[@ghahns123]

I was just wondering, how do you like the vesteroy bed so far? Was planning to get one however i couldnt find any reviews z
