So ladies (and gentlemen?), I bring you the Week Three edition of the Autumn 'Spring' Clean. While I was cleaning/sorting our bedroom I realised it looks a lot like student accommodation in there. We have our clothes on metal racks and shelves as our only wardrobe is an antique and modern coat hangers are too wide for it (so now the wardrobe houses our shoes).
When we first moved in we decided not to hang any photos/prints on the wall because we intended to paint. And here we are, a few years later and still no paint on the walls! As a result, we only have a few photos around the house on hooks that were already there (and we even removed a bunch of hooks!). The result? Some very bare walls that are very noticeable in photos!
:: Main Bedroom - Before ::
We borrowed Mr LG's brother's amazing vacuum cleaner and did a huge anti-dust blitz on the room. Who knew under beds were so gross? We even vacuumed the dust/mites out of the mattress!
You can see a green patch - one of our potential colours (but not the winner).
:: Main Bedroom - After ::
See? Bare walls! Oh, and can I draw your attention to the dark teal colour the previous owners painted the top section of the walls and roof? We have ridiculously tall ceilings (12 foot), but when you walk into the main bedroom you feel like ducking a bit because it feels so small. I can't wait to bring some light back into this room one day!
Winter clothes are now washed and in my shelves/rack. I haven't quite given up all my Summer clothes, but it won't be long now!
The Hunger Games and an original Game Boy. Heck yes!
So, there you have it. That's my bedroom. Kind of boring, if I'm being honest. These before and after photos aren't as dramatic as I was hoping, but you wait. Oh, you just wait. Next week is my spare room, and that is a disaster zone.
an original gameboy! awesome. I have one next to my bed too (next to my psp as well but still...)
ReplyDeleteyour bedroom is so neat compared to ours, we have so much stuff now its a bit ridiculous.
Dust scares me sooo much, it just collects so quickly! I love your bedside table.
ReplyDeleteI think it looks nice! But I'm excited to see dramatic before and after pictures for your spare room! Spare rooms are always messy! :)
ReplyDeleteYou're making me feel like a lazy lump, and afraid of what I might find in the corners hahaha! good luck with the spare room!
ReplyDeleteUnder my bed is disgusting, and i know it, i do hoover under it quite often, but not alllll the way under as that takes too much effort. hmm. now i feel like a total scum bag.
ReplyDeleteYour bedroom is perfect! And so similar to mines ;) Except for the wonderful surprises of color here and there! I love your little side table as much as the book that's on top of it! xoxo
ReplyDeleteI love your room! I do love those shelves. It's pretty. It makes me want one now :) not that we could fit it into our room. I haven't blogged about my bedroom clean yet. And great side table. x
