My Room and all my Stuff.
Valentines 2018 |
About my room.... but first here are the specs of
the room - 10x12 feet with a closet of 6x2 feet;
furniture consist of a twin bed, dresser, desk & chair,
night stand, shelving, and storage drawers. And
let's not forget my seasonal containers/boxes &
laundry baskets.
Starting with my bed.... yes the bed is not made, like most days and I have
way to many pillows - 5 to be exact. Love my pillows, though it is time for some
new ones.
My bed through the years, at one point I had the mattress on the floor, which
once down I struggled to get up and I was just about to become 50 - just think what
that would be like, LOL. I ordered a bed frame a few years ago from Walmart.
Loving it, perfect under bed storage even with the de-cluttering needed.
Next my Desk:
This is the best clean shot of my desk, 97% of the time it has something
on it and it isn't always a project. Quite often it is a catch all for the things I
think I may need for a project or some decor pieces that haven't found it's spot.
Summer of 2018 |
a laundry basket. At one point the desk had half the closet and I hanged clothes
in the other half. I would like to get a table and use it as a desk. I may have better
under storage for my craft supplies. The chair is gone so now I keep decor boxes in
front of the desk.
.... and sometimes I have to use the Table to work at because there is just to much
going on at the Desk.
My Dresser:
When the bed was on the floor 2013 |
Also an ever changing spot and catch-all. And the TV
It holds all the norms - pj's, t-shirts, and a few whatnot's. Whatnot's being extra
pocket tissues, medicine, fun Holiday jewelry, you know those kinda whatnot's.
As an ever changing spot I am able to rotate pictures, styles and the Holiday vignettes.
It will always keep my Make-up, hair bobs and jewelry, just wish I could get a system that
will contain them better then the last system.
The shelf over the dresser:
This is where I have my Pretties when not being used for the Table or vignettes around the Room.
collecting; the bowl and tea cup was a gift from my dear friend Joyce.
The Other Spots....
There are a few other spots in my room that are have small pieces of furniture, making the
room even smaller. A nightstand, a wire shelf, a slim bookcase, and a few organizer items.
With the Desk being cluttered and I still have to do work stuff in my room -
blog planning, and creating; I brought in a TV tray and a bed tray.
Which is ALWAYS :) surrounded with my ever growing craft supplies. Think this
needs a better organizing system then my Dresser. This we may go into in depth
of the Other Spots and how I organize this - which is Sooooo desperately in need.
The Stuff....
Some of these pictures are years old, I have been in this room for about 6 years and
the wall colors has been here even longer. I've wanted to paint but my room has just gathered
Stuff over the years and moving everything out for a weekend to paint .... well, let's just say
Not Happening. Now the Sister ( remember this is Sister's home) wants to redo the floor though
out the house - this might be the time to paint. I have been slowly working on where I will be
putting all this Stuff.
The Storage Shed:
Only I don't think I have the room....
This is what I have been up to the past few weeks... in the heat. I would be good
one day & work on it then down for a day or two, (yes, in the early morn or early eve).
I may have to rethink how and what I am storing. While writing this I can see how much
more this can be shared after all the goal here is to have an Artful Life.
This will have to be in parts because there is so much more I want to say
about the Room & Stuff and it is time to get ready for Retail.
until next time,
