It's Real Life #3: Where the Magic Happens

Welcome to my Master Bedroom. Come on in.



Our office moonlights as our entertainment center, as it's where Jim and I watch movies, Monk and The Office. We watch most things online since we don't watch TV otherwise, and we can't go downstairs, because the girls are asleep. It's nicer in bed anyway :). Oh, and you know how you stay up late watching TV, then you fall asleep on the couch? Problem solved!Lest I forget, this is the boys' bedroom, too.

#1: Under Bed

I couldn't get a good shot under there- way too dark. It's pretty boring- there's the extra leaves for our dining table, and a scrabble game. Use your imagination.

I decided to show you my closet instead, to be fair. Besides, you also need to see:#2: What's In/On Your Dresser

I forgot to take an In, but, here's the top. Some of my stuff, some of Jim's stuff. #3: Night Table

It's got a flashlight and some good books I can pick up if I can't sleep. Here's a vase I etched. Someday, I'll teach you how. Promise. Here's a gigantic stack of Pottery Barns and my decorating binder, still leftover from my needing inspiration days when we moved in. I'll move them. Soon. I don't need them right now. Yes, I save every one.

#4: Decorations

You get the idea around the room. Here's a shelf. There are some favorite love letters (the rest are in the brown box on my dresser) and some miscellaneous stuff.

#5: What I love

My very own bathroom, of course. Our room and our bathroom are sacred! Nobody gets to hang out in here but us, with very rare exceptions! Ours. All Ours.
There's some mismatched towels... Oh, and see those three candles on the windowsill? You can learn about those here.

#6: What I hate

I don't have a picture. I don't think I hate anything about this room. I dislike the color, which it came with, but it's satisfactory. I'm sure I'll get inspired one day, and there's another post for you. I also think it's a little bare, but, that's something that changes over time, finding the right stuff.

#7: What makes it uniquely mine

Wait, I don't have a picture of that either, but, it's a room just for us, for rest and fun and late night snacks and games, for watching the sunset from our bed out the huge window, for having time for ourselves and for... ahem...love. It's our room. I love it.

#8: What I sleep in

Some kind of workout pants, and a shirt, usually a tank top in the summer, long-sleeved T in the winter. I never wear stuff like this out of the house though. Back in college, I sure did!

P.S. I am so basking in the glory of free fresh flowers right outside my door. Thanks, Jim, gardener superman and best friend of mine. P.S.S. Clearly, I am not afraid of looking stupid.
