To a tee

What does your bedroom say about who you are?

My bedroom is a maximalist messy-mess. So I guess it describes me well.

I don’t make my bed, never have and never plan to.

Like my socks, my dishes and sometimes my earrings, the curtains on both of the windows in my bedroom do not match.

My bedroom is full of thrifted or flea marketed items because old stuff is way more interesting than new.

I make sure it’s also functional though. Comfy bedding, regular pillows plus huge oversized pillows to lean against, for when I’m sitting up to write like I am now.

Lamps installed over the headboard for reading in bed, (or writing). A tv on the wall for watching tv in bed. A chair in the corner for my pile of tried on and taken back off but not hung up clothes. A bedside table on each side of the bed for drinks, snacks, hair clips, earrings I need to remove when I have a nap, bobby pins, another lamp.

I love eating in bed and I don’t mind the crumbs or the mess, it’s all washable. If it were up to Clint he’d have a “no eating in bed” rule but life’s too short for that and nothing is ever up to Clint as far as I’m concerned.

Bella-Lena went over to her Dad’s yesterday to steal back the fondue set I’d bought like 20 years ago & wasn’t able to have when I moved out, she was in the mood for fondue…anyway she also found her memory box that was in her old bedroom & this is one of the photos in it, no I’m no longer in that marriage but this was the wedding day & I love this photo of my Dad & I

  4. Love the pics! Also, this: “pile of tried on and taken back off but not hung up clothes.”
    I struggle with that same pile of clothes, exactly, because I don’t want it there but there it is anyway. Too funny. I thought I was the only one. What was I thinking!

    1. Thank you Stephanie ☺️
      If it weren’t the tackiest thing on earth i’d like to frame it lol 😂
      Who knew, when the photographer said now give your dad a kiss on the cheek, and with the marriage ending disastrously, this many years later i’d appreciate the photo sooooo much!
      Hoping your safe back at home Stephanie 💝

      1. Right? I just tried to justify it to myself several ways, because it’s so beautiful that if I were you, I’d want to see it often too. However you got it, the image itself is perfect and captures the timeless relationship with your dad. ❤
