The Bedroom

I have been doing a lot of talk lately about moving my house around. Well, this weekend Jeb and I actually accomplished it! Well, almost. The only rooms that are completely finished are our bedroom and bathroom. I think you all remember the before (no need to post pics of bathroom, all I did was organize and move the kitty litter box under the shelf) :






Annnndddddd the aftttteeerrrrr:







Oh, and remember our sad little closet that we used for laundry as well as some of my clothes??



Well, the clothes are gone!



We moved it into the old office. Well, it is still kind of the office. The computer is still in here....but so is our wardrobes, and Jeb's dresser. The next step is moving the computer into the dining room. Which after moving the other bookshelf in there is beginning to become a wee bit cramped. But, I feel much better without so much clutter in my bedroom. And, the dining room won't be THAT bad. I think once I paint the dark bookshelf an off-white to match the other bookshelf, it would look much better. Or maybe by then we will be able to get the large bookcases we want from Ikea?????

This is my inspiration. Can't wait until spring to make some changes in my house.

time for a change

I have been reading lots of decorating blogs recently and I think it is time for a change. Our tiny little house has two bedrooms. The second one is fairly small, so we use it for our office. That is also where the only decent sized closet is that acts as our main storage closet. However, lately, I have been thinking of moving the computer out into the dining room, seeing since we rarely have dinners in there... There is also a tall book shelf I would like to move out there as well. Then I could turn the second room into a HUGE CLOSET. Only downer is that the kitties litter box is in the storage closest, which is in the 2nd room. And sometimes that causes that second room to smell funky... Hm...Maybe I can hide the litter box under the metal shelf in the bathroom? I don't know. I just know that I am sick of clutter and over the past 5 years, Jeb and I have picked up quite a bit of stuff. I was always trying to save everything for when we had a decent sized house. Well, I am sick of all our junk taking up so much room! So, come spring time I have decided we are getting rid of junk. And for now, maybe I can just move some stuff around to make space.

We desperately need to go to Ikea.

bummer

I am pretty miserable today. I really do not want to be at work. I have no motivation to work. Life is bumming me out. eh.
All I did all weekend was go go go. I think I am exhausted from all the shopping I did. I still have more shopping to do tonight. Maybe I can finish it!

Well, maybe these will perk me up.....





mmm

bluh!

I have always loved Christmas. However, this year I am beginning to not like it so much. I hate the present aspect of it. I don't like having to tell someone things I want or need. I don't like having to feel like I have to get certain people gifts. Why can't we just put up a tree, eat yummy food, drink wine, make each other gifts and be merry? Maybe I am hating the present thing because we are on a budget and I can't shop freely? Maybe I am just miserable. Who knows.

christmas trees

I looked forward all day sunday to getting my tree...I ended up with a tiny tabletop fake.

desperate

I have to be honest. I have been in this awful funk for the past year. I am ready for this year to be over with. And I am hoping that the new year will bring nothing but (hopefully good) change. I am desperate for change. I need something new in my life. Some excitement. Something. Anything! Come on 2010, you can't come soon enough.
