love where you live part 6

This is part six of my series to help me remember to be happy where I am. Past posts in this series: one (plus an explanation), two, three, four, and five.

Did you miss this?!?! I thought I'd take a break while my Christmas decorations were up, because you know, nothing I would have posted would actually be how my house looked. But now we're back, and this one is my new favorite. The bedroom! My nightstands are my Christmas gift to myself, using the money my grandpa gave me as a gift. So really they are his present to me which is even better. While I was in California at a thrift store, I found both of these tables and picked them up for $12! Together! And they weren't damaged at all. Joy.

The lamps were a wedding gift, the quilt at the foot of the bed and the sheets and pillowcases were a wedding gift, the white comforter we bought at Ross, the alarm clock I bought at Walmart, and the string of cafe lights was a gift from Sam a couple birthdays ago because he knew how much I love cafe lights. The framed picture has all of the tickets to events we attended when we were dating and engaged. 

I find our bedroom so peaceful and relaxing now. Especially since, on New Year's Day, in a fit of organization, Sam and I went through all of our financial papers (such a mess) and all of the boxes of his stuff from his childhood, which had previously been stacked against a wall in our bedroom. Now they are gone and I love our bedroom.
