"Master" Bedroom

When we moved in, the first room I unpacked was our bedroom. It quickly became one of the messiest rooms in the house, though. It also went through a couple rearrangements, which made even more of a mess. I got sick of the mess, and finally went to work. It's taken me several days because I've been pretty sick for nearly two weeks. I like how nice it is, and it seems like everyone else does, too, because the kids are always finding excuses to be in there.

It would really feel like a college bachelor's bedroom if it weren't for the girly touches of color and pattern throughout. Oh, and the kids... We just have a serious lack of furniture right now, and an even more serious lack of money, so it's going to look pretty humble for awhile.

The sleeping area. We got rid of our beautiful, storage-friendly bed frame back in September because it was falling apart from the moves it's been through. IKEA furniture really isn't meant to be taken apart... 

What used to be the kids' toy storage has become Mitchell's dresser. And we also use it as our entertainment center.

This door leads to the driveway and our car, so we use it frequently. That makes our bedroom a landing space for everything we bring in the house, which can lead to a lot of clutter. I'm trying to keep my purse orderly, and not allow stuff to be stacked on my dresser, except, of corse, the toiletries and jewelry that are supposed to be there.

I also organized our closet, but it's really mostly mine...

And this this the completion of the circle around my room. The door to the hallway, and Mitchell's work uniform.

This isn't the most exciting post, but I'm excited to have a clean and orderly room to spend my time in.
