dumpster diving-part one

This is totally me. If I had a champagne budget, I like to think that my home would be Martha Stewart-chic... but right now I'm closer to Martha Stewart-prison-chic!! Bahahahaha!!

I will do anything for a good deal, short of breaking the law, so when I saw my neighbors hauling this desk to the dumpster I JUMPED on it. I called someone to help me haul it in as I was walking outside to stake my claim.

I added some polka dot contact paper in the drawer, because they had seen better days. I though it was like a little smile every time I open them!! I think a pretty chair would be nice too, the one I'm using now is just one from the dining room table.

It does have some nicks, but I think it adds a little character, right? I've been thinking about painting it, but now that it's polar vortex season, that's not going to be happening til spring. Any suggestions?

a clutter-free master bedroom

Our bedroom doesn't always look this perfect, and I have quite a bit more decorating to do, but after moving in just a month ago it's nice to just have all the clutter cut out. 

I would like to get a lamp for the opposite side of the bed. I am thinking of hanging our wedding photos above the bed. 

The dresser is decorated with wedding keepsakes and gifts, as well as my Scentsy. I like to have Newborn Nursery in the bedroom, for it's calming, neutral scent. 

Challenge: Cut the clutter in your bedroom. Get everything out that doesn't belong, or contribute to a peaceful nights sleep.
