I don’t know about you, but I’m all about saving space. Having grown up in a house that gave me a very small bedroom, I am always looking for ways to maximize my space. Because of this, I end up using a lot of the walls to store things. One example of this would be using wall mount speaker brackets to put my small speakers, so I wouldn’t have to use up any shelf space of desk-top space. One advantage of this is that it protects the speakers from being knocked over by small pets that may be going exploring when your back is turned!
Pulling Out the Spring Bedding
With the official start of Spring just a few days away, I decided to pull out our Spring bedding for our bedroom and do a little redecorating. My husband isn’t huge on any floral prints so it’s mostly made up of light and vibrant colors and patterns. It’s not really cool anymore either, so I put up all of the extra heavier blankets. I think we’ll be fine with just a top sheet, thin quilt, and a comforter. Most of the nights we’ll probably only use the top sheet and quilt, but I like to keep a light comforter on hand to use to snuggle up with in the mornings we get to sleep in.
Time to Redo the Flooring
This morning when I got up the sun was beaming in through my window. I forgo to close he blinds before I went to bed last night. I usually one of the last things I do as a part of my wind down routine. I was on the phone with my sister last night and was a bit distracted so a few things were left undone.
After I got past the beaming light in my eyes I made my way to the bathroom. Wouldn’t you know it… I stubbed my toe on a piece of flooring that was sticking out between my bedroom and the bathroom. The bathroom floor is an old linoleum. It was that little metal piece that covers the seam between the carpet and the other flooring that I caught my big toe nail on. I rinsed my toe under the faucet in the tub and then put a little ice on it to prevent any swelling.
I think it’s about time for us to renovate our bathroom and maybe even our bedroom. Getting injured due to old flooring is not my idea of a nice and friendly wake up call. I would really like to get some pretty tile in the bathroom and maybe hard wood in the bedroom. I’ll have to do some number crunching and shopping to see what we can really afford.
Toy Organization
This weekend is going to be all about getting the kids’ toys organized. I found these great organizers that have three levels and multiple bins to sort and organize all of the toys the kids have. The bins are multiple colors too so they match the decor in the kids’ rooms.
I’m tired of stepping on toys when I go in there so I’m having the kids help me sort out all of their toys. This might take all day, but it needs to be done.
Whatever does not fit in the organizers will be donated. At the end of each night they have to make sure all of their toys are put up. No more messy rooms!
