The Beudoir and Bonuses

Now that the kitchen is in working order, my focus has moved into our other "liveable" space, the master. The size of the room itself is not a problem, the closet-space however, is. Going from a walk-in closet in Milan to just one large closet here has been pretty damn tough. I donated two whole carloads of clothes and shoes to the salvation army before we left Michigan, and now here I've had to eliminate another three garbage bags. It finally all fits though! No more piles of clothes on the floor or shoes in baskets in the other room. Phew.

The bed takes up the majority of the bedroom, along with our dresser and tv in the corner. It IS kind of random to have two tv's in such a small apartment, but we owned them already, and the Mister and I are both big babies when we're sick. We love to crash with movies in bed. The real exciting element of the bedroom though, is the fact that we have curtains! Yeah! Ghetto shower curtain begone. I also had to get creative and hang my purses on a wall. Artwork and picture hanging still pending as well, as obviously the space above the headboard looks a little barren.

In the bonus category, I've got two spaces that are coming along nicely. The hall closet and the entryway. The entryway currently includes the only piece of art we have hanging in the whole apartment! I found these super cool New Yorker covers at Union Square the other day, and I knew just what I wanted to do with them, since I had the frame and everything. I love when a good plan comes together like that. I'm pretty pleased with walking in the door of the apartment now too.

Finally, the hall closet isn't quite complete yet (gotta get a lot more stuff in there), but I was happy to find an over the door iron organizer. Add a few of my aprons, and wahla! It's as good as it's going to get for now.
