My teeny tiny bedroom is a space that is constantly evolving as I move things around and make things work best in the space. I've made a couple recent changes that literally made me smile every time I walked in the room, so I just had to share them with you!
I showed you some specific goals I had to keep some areas cleaned up in this post, and this picture showed you a little problem area...notice all the cords?
Yucky, right? My bedroom only has one outlet, so I keep a surge protector plugged in there so I have more places to plug
For months, I've just had that ugly thing sitting on the back of my dresser, taking up space and just generally looking ugly. I finally decided to try attaching it to the wall to see if that would work better. I still needed room to plug things into it, but wanted to hide all those cords so badly! Here is what I came up with...
Soooo much better! I can still slip my hand in to plug things in, but the worst of the mess is hidden. Love it!
I tried to dress up the top of my dresser with a couple of new items, too. I had an empty ceramic bowl that had been sitting there collecting dust and waiting for something fun to fill it.
I got tired of it sitting there empty (and more often than not collecting junk that shouldn't be there) so I grabbed some thing I had on hand to pop inside. I just took some cream colored yarn and rolled it into balls, as well as some twine.
Popped them inside, and love it!
If I were to do it again, I would probably make the balls smaller so that more would fit in, but for now I love that it gives the space some texture, yet looks nice with the clean, white lines of the bowl.
Lookee at this rock I found at the beach...I call it the "Rock of the United States."
I like it. So now it is sitting on my dresser. Because thats how I roll.
Speaking of the U.S.A. I also have this neat globe light.
It doesn't work any more, sadly, because it was this really neat touch lamp, and one is never to old to be fascinated by a touch lamp. :) I still love that it is a globe, so it found a home for the time being.
The other wowzers-I-love-this update was moving this shelf to a nice little spot over my headboard.
It used to live on the little half wall next to my bookshelf, and I kept my scarves on the hooks. But it is summertime now and I just decided I could put it to better use. I had wanted a shelf here for ages (as I mentioned in this post) so this was great! I keep the books I'm currently reading on it, plus the notebook in which I record my 1,000 Gifts list, and hang my necklaces on the hooks. Just for fun I added my favorite picture from my college days, a fun pen and Tim Horton's mug ornament...because who says ornaments are just for Christmas trees?
Those are my most recent changes and updates! Just some small things that make a huge impact on not only the look of the room but how much I adore it! I'm looking forward to tackling this space next...
...and you know I'll keep you posted!
Anyone else doing some rearranging and updating to a space? Do you have a system that works good for you, or do you constantly keep changing to see what you like best?
