Room update..

Anyone who knows me will tell you I want to be organized but am quite a messy person. But only in my bedroom. In the rest of the house I am a bit disciplinary with the cleanliness and organization. When it comes to my bedroom, I feel like it is my personal space and no one else really sees it and the people who do are the people that know me best. 

Recently I decided to get organized. Now, I am in the middle of it but I thought I would let you all in on the process. The image on the left is mid clean up. I had pulled everything out of my wardrobe and my sheets were half peeled off. 

In my room I have my double bed, a five draw chest of draws (black with silver handles), a (meant to be five section shelf but only has five at the moment, in black) shelf , a double wardrobe with a top shelf and a chair. This may seem like quite a bit but I have ALOT of clothes and ALOT of shoes. So it is a bit of a problem. So before I go and buy my storage items and things I am organizing. 

I desperately need to buy a shoe rack. Upstairs I have eighteen pairs of shoes and downstairs I have another ten pairs. So in theory I will need a few shoe racks. And this doesn't include the shoes I will be buying in the next few months (flats, a few more boots, new heels). 

So at the moment, I have sixteen shoes at the end of my bed. It is out the way, I can see what I have and they can air and be seen. I have two pairs of shoes on top of my book shelf (my Miss Shoe heels and Nike kicks). The rest are downstairs in the garage shoe rack. 

I will do a closer picture of the shelves when I re-organize them better. But on top I have the two pairs of shoes I mentioned before and two feather boa's. The top shelf holds two paper/straw parasols, my 18 champagne glass, a few decorative bottles, a cat statue, my pen/pencil holder and a few pairs of sunglasses. The next shelf is beauty products, my hair straightener (which will go in my beauty draw when I clear it out), a public relations textbook, a Madison magazine, my make up case and a candle. 
The third shelf is Dvd's, my Devil Wears Prada book (my books are all still packed), my Lush soaps, some jewelry boxes, some pieces of jewelry, some cotton balls/QTips etc and my pencil case.
The last section holds my hand bags, purses and some kitchen stuff for when I move out and some tiny umbrellas. 

I haven't started organizing my draw yet but I always have the top of my draws done. For Christmas I got given a tea light chandelier which I use to hang necklaces and earrings. I use a floral tea cup to hang earrings and store my pearl necklace and my snake bracelet. In the dish I keep my favourite ring and a bracelet my boyfriend gave e. I keep my favourite sunglasses and their case up here, a few more pieces of jewelry decorate the plain space. I also have an old photo of a dog and a cat I once owned and I keep my 'fake-optical' faux-ray-bans up here to. Also I keep my daily organizer on here as it's next to my bed.


I am not even half way through organizing my cupboard. On the shelf I have some storage boxes and my work shoes. So the left side of my wardrobe I keep the stuff I keep for the sake of having them or stuff I think is special, like my high school jerseys, my trench coat I need to get re fitted and my faux-fur coat. So how I have organized my wardrobe is by item then colour. I started with dresses, then singlets, then T-shirts then vests and cardigans, throw overs and jackets. I also have my belts on a coat hanger and my hair extensions strung up in there but I will show those pictures in a later blog. On the outside I keep my silk maxi dress.

When I get further I will do another blog.

Stay organized or chaotic.
