I am super lucky that we snagged a house big enough for us to each have our own rooms. Not like, sleep separate bedroom, but one room where we get to use for whatever we want, decorate however we want. My room us upstairs next to our bedroom and I use it for my closet/office/jewelry/sewing room work bench. It's a big room, but not quite big enough to house the business of getting dressed, getting work done and making jewelry. Getting dressed and jewelry making are very messy ordeals for me, and I need a clean space to get work done. So I'm giving myself a challenge. If it goes well, I'll continue this was throughout the house. One room, one week. I'll assess what I love and don't love about the room and weed out anything unnecessary. Of course, during this time I'll be working on the bathroom, too, but there's a lot of bathroom work that's for one person only. So when Shane is working on that, I'll be working on my room. Here's the pictures of the room as it is now. I'm warning you, it's crazy messy.
What I love:
The vintage yellow table
Stumptown postcard
Orange file organizer
Wood dresser
purple lamp
hardwood (softwood, actually) underneath
mirror
What I'm not sure about:
curtains
jewelry organization
hooks for belt
leaving clothing visible
corner sewing desk
What I hate:
closet organization
having jewelry stuff packed away
too many pieces of furniture
carpet
chair--love the chair, not the fabric
color
goodwill lampshade
too messy to be in there without loosing my mind and being reduced to a weepy pile of Kate on the floor
I started to pull out the carpet, but then I realized I should paint first. So, I have to rummage through our paint downstairs and see if we have anything that might work. I'm on a serious budget or zero-$20. I'll let you know what I work up! As I go through my craft room, I'm going to be constantly referring to this post. The getting rid of stuff is so hard! But I'm determined to free my house of anything I do not love or believe to be beautiful. That's my other mantra. Okay, gotta go help Shane with the bathroom!
