If you knew me you'd know that I ltake great pride in the way my house looks, I like to be organized and I'm down right fussy about decor.
Prepare yourselves, I'm about to reveal my dirty little decorating seceret...my bedroom.
This lovely quilt screams style, doesn't it? I put it on the bed after my boys jumped on my lovely white comforter with dirty feet. And can you believe...NO BED SKIRT! GASP! That's been on my to-do list ever since we moved in the house 2 years ago (actually, decorating this entire room has been on my to-do list for the past 2 years).
And yes, a crib in the corner. In my defense, my youngest was still a wee newborn when we first moved in and walking to the other side of the house 15 times in the middle of the night wasn't gonna happen. Don't you love my in-genius tv stand? It's two night stands stacked on top of the other.
Hi neighbor! I see you peeking at me from your side of the wall. Got to love modern day builders...they really know how to build a house for privacy!
I'm starting to re-think this post about now.
Toys, the coffee table that I grew up with and just can't bear to part with, clutter...this room has it all!
Those are two paint samples on the wall that I was testing out for the room.
The changing table tucked nicely in the corner.
OK, so this room is not bad but it's certainly not on the house tour I give my guests.
This master bedroom has been a catch-all for everything in the house. When you're a mom sometimes things have to be all about function for a while. Plus, Arizona homes have no basements so where do you put all your junk?
Now that I've confessed my least desirable decorating sin I'm ready for change. And change is COMING! We've already cleared the entire room, bought some paint samples, put a few items on Craigslist and we're ready for a homemade Extreme Home (room) Makeover. I've sweet talked my honey and he's ready to tackle this project with me. That was exhausting, now I'm off to bed (which is now sitting directly in the middle of my bare room).

You are hysterical! I cannot wait to see the changes in store for this room. I know it's going to be amazing!
oh my goodness!! what amazing windows in your bedroom!!!! your room is going to look amazing!!
I have spent an embarrassing amount of time on your blog - in my defense the hubby is gone and I had little else to do... but still, it pretty much screams "no life" - I'm still reading actually... I am in early fall 08 right now.
I love your decorating style - and I laughed so hard at the toothbrushes in the toilet! too funny!
LOL. At least it's tidy. Our room is more like a clean laundry holding tank!
Can't wait to see what you come up with. Our room has also been the last to be decorated. Been here nearly three years, and still needs to be prettied up.
I can't wait to see it finished!!! :)
I can't wait to see what happens. You have such great style. You should come up to nor-cal and help me out!
I'm SO glad that I am not the only one with a catch all bedroom (mine is worse though!) Although the crib has been gone for a year, it's a junk pile. It's where all the extra's go when I'm cleaning. I can't wait to see what you do. Inspire me!
Oh my gosh MICHELLE! do you remember me? it's Geidy (Haydee) Afu's wife. I clicked on your name from a comment you made on little green notebook and when I saw your pic I made Afu come look. You guys look great. The kids are adorable. It's been too long.
on blogging...
I love this post--I too am a huge fan of interior design--your house is ridiculously gorgeous but now that I've seen this post I may work up the courage to share my home.
