- What do you love about your bedroom?:
- This is my first bedroom I have ever loved, and it is because I know I am going to be living in this space for a lot longer then any previous space I've lived in. I now know that I have time to tweak and revive my space as I like and make it the most perfect space for me. I adore my imperfect wood floors, and all the light that comes in though my southern facing windows.
- What are your tips for creating a beautiful, healthy and organized bedroom?
- The trick to having a perfect bedroom is making it your own, and make it comfortable. If your space is too cluttered it will make for a hectic sleeping environment, and no one wants that! My second need for a comfy room is a variety of candles. They are my weakness!
- 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?
- I think it is best to keep the bedroom a relaxing place. I love curling up in bed with my cats to watch a few espisodes of one of my favorite shows, or a good art documentry.

What an interesting desk. I love the white front panels. Do you know what the purpose of the odd shape of the desk top is for?
You room is so peaceful but still has personality.
What's the clock screensaver on your Mac? I've seen it soooooo many times on here, but I'm not sure how you get it. I like it. : )
That desk is gorgeous!
That is such a nice desk. Who is the maker?
I iron my pillow cases, is that strange?
The desk is actually an old optometrist desk! By American Optical.
@ hello kitty, My Best Friend told me I should of ironed my pillow cases!
The clock is called fliqlo.

It is cotton!
Thanks! : )
I love this imperfect!
simply great.
Such a nice restful feeling in this room. I too love the blanket, particularly with the bright map above the bed. BOTH desks are great, especially in contrast with each other, but I would suggest that your next project in the room be redoing that closet space, which is sort of jarring in comparison with the rest of the space. Do you need a second desk, and does it have to be in the closet, against posters, with books piled haphazardly on the shelf above? I kind of like that you show it instead of hiding it, and I get that this is a work in progress. Great beginning.

I am so glad you brought up the "office", that is my boyfriends space! I wanted to show it as it was to make it seem almost like a offshoot, of the room. We currently have a tennant in our spare room and in July his office will most likely expand and move into that room! I actually gave him this "office" as a christmas present! Nerd stuff and all. He says I have taken over the house!!
i love your boyfriend's office! there are lots of treasures in there and the nook is so cozy. sometimes i just stand and look at it. but i'm glad you took over the house, queen of decorating. <3
Love the natural light! Looks tranquil and relaxing :) Good luck, Jamie!!
I was going to buy that Target blanket in gray, but the reviews said that they shrink awfully and get pulls in them very easily...have you washed yours yet? I *love* the leather chair and throw pillow, btw. :)
Fizz fizz, the blanket does get pulls in it really bad! I always attributed it from having cats! I have washed it a few times as it has lost it's luster a bit but it is still a really comfy blanket!
Thanks for the reply! I'd go ahead and get one but knowing that they do actually pull easily counts me out. I have two schnauzers who like to "dig" a bed for themselves before settling down haha.
Yay, my hometown! I love your floors! I may have to invest in that blanket as well. So comfy!
Very relaxing room.. From where did you get the cool fan? <3 the desk..
The fan is a Polar Wind! I got it at Meijer! The desk is from shopgoodwill.com!
