- What do you love about your bedroom?:
- It's cozy and functional. There's really nothing fancy about it - it's very us! We really utilized every inch to make it work for our family. I love the natural light it gets and I've always wanted a white bedroom! This is my first attempt at making it happen. I also love having a record player in this room. Makes for great nights reading in bed and romantic evenings.
- What are your tips for creating a beautiful, healthy and organized bedroom?
- One thing my husband and I have been strict on is not having a TV in the bedroom. It really makes it a retreat. We actually ended up getting rid of all of our TVs and our whole place feels like there is more room for conversation and creativity. Also, I think having some symmetry helps make it feel organized.
- In modern homes, bedrooms have become more than just a place to sleep; they can be a retreat, a home office, a library, a relaxation zone. What are some ways you make the most of your bedroom?
- My husband and I both work from home so having separate office spaces is important. Adding a desk to the closet in the bedroom has been great. And when the day is done, I can just close the door! The chair even fits in the closet. It's perfect.

My mom and my grandma both own bedspreads similar to yours, and in different colors. I have been thinking about asking my mom if I can have one. It brings back happy memories :)
Cute chairs, and that setup for the records is killing me!
The elephant print in the second picture is amazing, I keep coming back to stare at it.
Love the wood chairs, the pendant light, and the stereo. Because the room apart from those elements is fairly spare, I'd be tempted to put something in those picture frames above the bed.
Since I am such a music enthusiast, I have to comment on the stereo. WOW!!! Love it. I must admit, you were spot on when you said that you have utilized every inch of this room. It honestly works - from the placement of the bed to the office inside of the closet! And, yes, I agree with bellshonhopi -- I would be tempted to put pictures in the empty picture frames also - but that's me. Everyone has different ideas on what they feel comfortable decorating with! It's beautiful!
