Just like getting my roots touched up on time, the master bedroom was the one room in the house I would neglect. The master bedroom was always the last room to be painted or decorated and I lived with the “oh I’ll just shut the door and no one is allowed in” mentality. Over the years, I’ve slowly been changing that mindset and when we moved into our current home, it was actually one of the first rooms to gain our attention. Why? Because as the adults in the family and the ones who can really say we work our tails off to make life happen, we deserved it and so do you!

This space makes me wish I was there right now.

  1. Peace and quiet

Your master bedroom should be your oasis away from the world. Take out all the noise that doesn’t belong there. If you have kids, make it a toy free zone. I’m trying to make it a kid free zone in general because they pretty much have the rest of the house to galavant around, but it’s hard when I see them cozy in my bed after school. (I’m a work in progress too.) If you work from home, try not to make it a permanent thing in your bedroom. Delegate another place in your home to do your work, the bedroom should be a place where you can rest.

It may be ok to occasionally work in your bedroom, but try not to make it the main place you work.

The same goes for your laundry. We were really bad about bringing it into the master bedroom to fold, then life would happen and we would have clothing on top of the dresser and on our chair waiting to be put away.

If things end up landing in your bedroom that don’t belong there, evaluate the other paces in your house to determine what you need to change so that doesn’t happen anymore. We gave the kids a place to keep their toys and we revamped our laundry room. By doing those two things, we cleared up two huge repeating problems. I also stopped working in our bedroom because I wanted my brain to have a place to closeout as many open tabs as I could.

2. Furniture

Nightstands can be a dumping ground of random things, but I only keep the essentials. A couple reading materials, charger, lamp, pen, and paper. I know you’re probably thinking why a pen and paper, but I cannot tell you how many times I’ve woken up in the middle of the night and had an idea I didn’t want to forget. I said I try to close as many open tabs as I can in my brain, but there are a few always open. 🙂

Aside from our bed, two night stands, and a comfy chair, the only other piece of furniture we have, is our dresser. Since we have completed the master closet organization and I created my capsule wardrobe, we’re getting to the point that we don’t even really need the dresser anymore.  What I do have inside, everything is carefully folded. Also, after reorganizing my closet, I freed up space to keep my jewelry instead of on top of my dresser. The bottom drawer of my dresser is where I keep the extra set of sheets for our bedroom.

Nothing makes me happier than a clear dresser.

Folding items in your drawers so you can actually see what you have and what you haven’t worn in a while.

3. Other things to consider

We keep nothing on the floor and this is mainly because we have dogs and we have to keep things out of their reach. We try to make a point to put our dirty clothes in the laundry, hang up coats, put away shoes etc. at the end of the night Also because of the dogs, we don’t keep a trash can in our bedroom, instead we keep it in the bathroom under the sink.

We do use pillows to decorate, but we do try to keep it minimal and we use almost all of the pillows on our bed. We have a mirror over the dresser to catch one last look before we leave and the other pictures we have in the room are just of my husband and I because I want the space to be devoted to us.

4. Extra Storage Needs

If you’re lacking storage in other areas of your house, definitely use under the bed. I do have memorabilia from when I was younger I keep under there in a container. As long as it’s not overflowing out into your bedroom, this space can easily be utilized and is a lot easier to get to if you’re vertically challenged like me and don’t want to put things way up on the top shelf.

If you have a bench at the end of your bed, there are storage options as well that are a great place to store seasonal clothing and extra blankets.

This week not only was spring break for my girls, This week not only was spring break for my girls, but also the anniversary of my mom’s passing. I repotted the plant I kept from her funeral and already it looks so much better. I’ve been trying to keep busy with spring cleaning, purging, and packing, but apparently life didn’t feel like that was enough. Last night we had a trip to the Emergency Vet after Jojo came in contact with weed killer, you can see her resting on our bed. Needless to say it’s a little slow and quiet today while she rests and we watch her.  Besides that and all that’s going on in the world, it’s so hard not to be in a giant funk. What’s your plans for the weekend?? I need to get some great ideas to turn this struggle bus into a party boat!
We started packing today, which means projects at We started packing today, which means projects at this house are coming to an end. Truth be told, this is the house where Cribbs Style was born. I’ll forever be grateful for all the lessons I learned in every project. Most of all, the confidence to learn and work all my power tools, which I owe to @ryobitoolsusa and @havenconference.  Nothing brings me more joy than answering questions or teaching another person about tools. They’ve been the gateway to my future. 💕

Grief is such a tumultuous journey. Facebook memor Grief is such a tumultuous journey. Facebook memories are a double edge sword. 10 years ago and 2 years ago this very week, both of my parents were handed a cancer diagnosis. My father lived for another 14 months, my mom only 3 weeks. Last year we had planned to be away for the one year anniversary of my moms passing, but instead a pandemic had other plans.  It’s all taken a toll on me mentally and physically. At times left me very unmotivated and completely distracted.  I’ve learned to give myself grace and each day is another opportunity to have a fresh start.  But y’all it’s hard. So if you see me dip in and out, that’s why. Most days my focus has just been on Court and the girls and that’s all I got. And that’s ok, but I also like to keep it real.  I know we all go through bad times, hard times, but I’m here to tell you you’re not alone and I see you. All the love. 💕

If I didn’t do this space myself I would argue this isn’t even the same place. 🍀
