Cindylouwho - your decor ideas for your bedroom sound fantastic. I say, give it a try and see how it feels. I bet you will love it and it will feel like a completely different room.
- Take down curtains and wash.
- Clean windows and window sills. Put up electric candles. I always set them to come on in the evenings starting in the fall. Nice warm welcoming home after a day of chaos.
- Paint. My walls are screaming for a touch-up.
- Pack up my flip-flops which are scattered all over the closet floor. I bought some baskets from Dollar Tree a few months ago and decorated them with pretty fabric. For got I had them.
- Vacuum
- Wipe down furniture
- Do some laundry.
- Put away handbags. I have them piled up on a chair. Instead of putting them back in the closet when I switch bags, I put them on the chair. Crazy I know.
- Same with my jewelry. All over my dresser lol.
- Buy Christmas cards. I'm hoping to find some really beautiful cards this year.
- Inventory wrapping supplies. I remember picking up wrapping paper last year. Just need to find where I put them. I know I need bags for the gift baskets I'm putting together this year.
- Add a few more gifts to the gift closet.
Cindylouwho - Maybe you could find a quote on "time," print it off on neat paper using a nice font, stick it in a picture frame and place it by the clock.
I like old things too. I have a thing for books especially children's picture books. I use the children's holiday books for decorating. I also like buying old hardcover books in colors to decorate..
The room was not ever used as it was to small to be a bedroom and there was already a sun room off the master bedroom. It sat there for years...
After my parents passed away... I had the original door sealed and bricked up and a new one from the bedroom created- so it became my closet, reading nook, dressing area etc....
