Home Organization 101:: The Master Bedroom

Here is the Master Bedroom. We live in a very small rental home, So small, that our bedroom has no space for even a dresser. Our daughter only has a crib in her room so we put our dresser in there for the time being. 
I would like to get some cute bins and baskets and closet organizing essentials eventually, to store all of our clothes in our mega closet, that stretches across one whole wall. The closet will not be revealed until later on in the Home Organization challenge, so stay tuned! 

Our {tiny} MASTER BEDROOM

Cleaned & Organized

I love this quilt that my husband and I got as a wedding gift.

 It has a very country home feeling. 

 I used this wicker basket to organize my books and store our remote controls. 

We got this at Hallmark. Just a beautiful reminder 

of a husband & wife's love for each other. 

I got this beautiful frame when my husband and I were on vacation.

 It says Family and at the bottom it reads

 "Yet Another Adventure". So true. 

I love how it turned out so nice and organized. I cleaned out the inside drawer too so there is only one a few things inside instead of being a junk drawer. I also know where my books are. No more thinking, Where is that book I was reading? 

Quilt from Bed, Bath & Beyond

I love our wedding portrait. It is a great reminder, 

among the chaos of having children, 

that things are always changing but one that 

stays the same is our love for one another.

This is our one wall that is just one long closet! I will reveal the inside during the closet challenge! 

{ Along with my kids closets, so stay tuned! }

This wall is our entertainment wall. We have our cable and dvd player set on a white wire rack. You can 

get this very inexpensively at Lowes or Home Depot. Our flat screen was on sale at Walmart. Our shelf on the wall only has the two statues. 

I love our wedding portrait. 

{ Love. }

Finally, all done! There is nothing under the bed. Yeah!!!

 { Just my laptop is under there, in its secure case.}

 All the clutter is gone! My #1 tip for cleaning and organizing your master bedroom, especially a small one, would be...

 Less is More!

WEEK 4: THE OFFICE

I have joined Toni's 14 week challenge to a perfectly organized home over at A bowl full of lemons! If you haven't checked out her blog, please do. It is full of great ideas for home organization all the way to budgeting your finances.  

Our home is very small, so we became creative and created a small space for the office in the family room. This is where we watch television and lounge most of the time. My desk gets cluttered constantly so I am always trying to find new ways to keep things organized. I have found that the best thing to do is to find a home for everything. That includes coupons, magazines, the stapler, safety pins, coins, scissors, pens, pencils, batteries,  etc. If it doesn't have a home than it gets trashed! Throwing clutter in the trash is my favorite thing to do!

I get sucked into tossing miscellaneous things into a small bowl. After a few months, it accumulates into a big mess. Avoid the clutter and junk by having a home for everything, from receipts all the way to a screw you found in the junk drawer, find a home for it! 

This is how I am simplifying my life:

 O R G A N I Z A T I O N 

Remember, everything should have a place, especially in a small home.  

Trust me, you'll sleep better at night. ;)

The Office

This is from pottery barn that stores my sharpies, pens, scissors. This also is my incoming and outgoing mail station.

Printer Station

My Binders

This is where I keep my binders.
 Binders include Household Bills, Blog 
& Daydreamer Photography.

So that's it! Hope that this can be inspiring for those who have small spaces and still want an office space.

Home Organization 101

I have joined Toni Hammersley's Home Organization 101: A 14 week program to a perfectly organized home. I am super excited to do this, because living in a small rental house, it is a must to keep all rooms clean and organized at all times in order to feel relaxed. With a little boy due in December, I better get started! 

14 Week Challenge

Week 3:
 The Pantry

So this weeks challenge over at "A Bowl Full of Lemons" is the pantry. We rent a small house in the city that does not have a big open pantry. Darn. But, I did figure a way to categorize and label my food, in the small pantry that we do have.

 So take a look and see what is possible with very small spaces! 

So there you have it! Our very small pantry! We do have a basement where we have a wire rack. We place all extra food storage down here including canned food, extra cereal, peanut butter, pasta etc.
