Bedroom remodel, after
A little more paint and the
bedroom is done. It's tough to take a comprehensive photo of such a
small space (literally about twice the size of a twin bed), so here are
a few shots from each direction as a sort of tour.
The raised
bed gave me plenty of room for storage. Books by me (multiple
copies of each, so they don't need to be easily accessible) go in the
bookcase support while bins of clothes and ancient journals/sketchbooks
are safe in mouse-proof bins.
The closet is pretty
empty at the moment, but I'm just thrilled to have finally found the
spot where rodents were entering my sleeping space. Down beneath a
built-in cabinet, we discovered a four-inch hole that Mark has now
filled in with wood and liquid nails. No wonder that corner of the
trailer was mouse central for the last decade!
Better yet: my boots and
winter coat finally have a home other than draped-over-that-chair and
tossed-in-that-corner. Here's hoping that cutting down my possessions
to the ones I really use and giving each a place will prevent future
clutter. For now at least, it's a joy to have everything so shipshape.
