Yesterday I spent the whole morning working on my bedroom. Nothing fun. Not decorating or purchasing decor items for it.
Just cleaning and organizing. A lot.
I pulled out the furniture, wiped everything down,
vacuumed every inch, cleaned the shutters.
You name it, I cleaned it.
While I was organizing and cleaning the phrase came to my mind, "Take a picture, it will last longer." So that is exactly what I did.
My kids harass me sometimes about our room and that it isn't always as clean as we require their rooms to be.
I always counter that I am so busy with the rest of the house and what I need to do for them that my room is at the bottom of the list. Not today.
I am going through a phase where I don't want matchy-matchy bedding. I am really enjoying just buying pieces that make me happy. I love texture and have a thing for soft fabrics. It really frees me up to just buy what I love. I am finding I am moving more that direction with most things throughout my house. Surrounding myself with things I love and enjoy looking at or using. We shall see what the future brings.
My jewelry box in the corner was recently given to me by my mom. I remember it being in her bedroom most of my childhood. It used to be my Grandmothers as well. I love having pieces in my home that have a familial heritage. Plus, I own a lot of jewelry that needed a home, so win-win.

I hope to one day get some pretty panels to put on the windows, but haven't found the right ones yet, or the money it will cost to purchase them. Someday.
I love my little old lady, yellow velvet settee, that sits in my window nook. Not terribly comfortable, but oh so cute to me. The afghan on the back of it was recently made and given to us from Nate's Grandma, Elaine. She is a woman who I will forever strive to be like. She is one of the most interesting, classy, and spunky ladies, and she has so much spiritual depth and knowledge. I truly look up to her and love her so very much. Every time I see or touch that blanket I feel that desire in me grow. Love that.

You might notice all of the empty picture frames in my room. Some day they will have pictures in it. I just haven't gone thru the effort to pick them out and get them printed. Someday.
My bookcase/hutch isn't really styled the way I ultimately want, but I didn't have time to work on it today. Again, bottom of the list.
Nate bought that for me five years ago for our 10th anniversary. I still love it and look forward to it being in our home for many years to come.

It was funny when the kids walked into my room after school and saw it they kept saying, "Whoa! It is so peaceful in here. I love it. I wish this was my room." Sorry kids, this is my room and yes, you are right, it is peaceful. It was funny though, however, it also tells you how messy it was. Oh well. It is clean right now and I have the pictures to prove it. ;)
