I’ve been living in my apartment for just under two years now… and I’m finally ready to show y’all my bedroom. Well, as ready as I’ll ever be. In my last apartment my bedroom was the last room I shared photos of, and in the house I owned before that I don’t think I ever shared photos of the bedroom. I’m going to toot my own horn here, I’m good at decorating living rooms. Seriously, look at my living room. It’s adorable. Bedrooms though… they stump me! They always end up getting all the odds and ends that don’t work in other rooms, so they become this mish-mash of furniture and decorations that don’t quite go together.
Right now my excuse is that I don’t plan on staying here much longer. There’s no point in buying any new furniture because I’d move tomorrow if the right place presented itself. That’s also the exact reason why I wanted to take the time to document this space. It may not be the neatest bedroom, or the most beautifully decorated bedroom, which has absolutely been a factor in my not sharing it. It’s not the kind of room I’m going to find plastered all over pinterest but it’s my room. It’s where I’ve been sleeping for the last year*, having Netflix marathons, and devouring pizzas with my dude. It’s an important piece of my history.

*Probably doesn’t make much sense for me to say I’ve been living here for nearly two years but only sleeping in this room for one year but I recently swapped rooms with my office. Check out this room when it was my office space last year here.
