22 Days to Less Mess (Day 12 The Master Suite)

Realistically there wasn't much to put away or organize in this room because it's my haven away from seven children and they pretty much know that too. Therefore since it's my getaway, I tend to keep this room very tidy because even though I can ignore messes for quite awhile in other parts of the house, when I need to escape, I want it clean and tidy. It makes me feel more relaxed and rested. Clutter and stuff everywhere makes me feel the need to get up and do something else, so aside from laundry day when I fold laundry on the bed, our master suite is usually pretty tidy.

One little tidbit I learned long ago is that making the bed is half the battle. As soon as the bed is made, the room looks significantly neater than when I first get up in the morning and more importantly, it prevents me from wanting to crawl right back into it on some days ;o).

Just so I don't bore you to death because I know what you really want to see it photos, here's my nook in our room.

My Bible, books I'm reading or plan to read, a favorite picture on the wall and on the table, a spot for my coffee or tea, a candle, all make it cozy and mine. (Yes, I see the picture is crooked. It's straight now -- just not in the photo :oS).

I think I need to add a cozy blanket to the mix yet....
