I've been meaning to post these pictures for awhile...I can't believe I'm really going to post the before pictures...but a few weeks ago I did a major overhaul
makeover
of our bedroom.
I am NOT an organized person. Let me repeat.
I'm NOT an organized person and I drive myself crazy and my husband crazy!!
Landon and I have very different internal core temperatures. I snuggle under layers of blankets, with layers of clothes on, while he sleeps on TOP of the covers in his undies at night. Therefore, we've thrown the comforter to the wind and been using our own blankets (so I'm not constantly trying to pull from his side to cover myself...you get the point). It's easier that way.
I have multiple piles of "stuff" in my room because I just don't know where to store it all. And today was a PERFECT day to do a before and after picture because clothes were strewn EVERYWHERE.
So. This is my bedroom.
BEFORE
random pictures on the wall
piles of "stuff"
clothes everywhere
no bedspread
messy (understatement) chest of drawers
ya. that's dust below. better start doing that more often!
AFTER
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
It feels so good! I'm really not a slob. I promise.
But I'm not making myself look too good right now.
Anyways, Landon was gone for an overnighter at work so I worked feverishly day, night, and day while he was gone cleaning, and organizing. I bought everything on a whim at Target (just bought the first thing I fell in love with and found coordinating decor...it was super fun) and re-did our room into a calm, clean and tranquil place of relaxation.
I love the yellow and gray combo! I added in a little blue and orange accents. I think it all came together great and we totally LOVE it.
Landon was pleasantly surprised
(and I think very grateful for getting rid of the gosh dang piles! it was hard work)
So far we are using the bedspread together too!
I love change.
I love organization.
I love cleanliness.
My goal is to make it last!!!!!

LOVE IT! You and I are so much alike! The before looks just like our bedroom!
Wow! Looks awesome Jill! I bet it feels even better! Good job!
Ooooh, it is so fun to spy into other peoples homes! LOVE the rug and pillow and bedspread you picked out! Oh, if we actually had a Target here I would be in trouble!
I just spent an hour or more looking for a grey/yellow combo bedding set...never saw that one but now I want it. I love your new do on your room. It's perfect! And now I'm going to go check out Target.com.
Glad I am not the only one....i fully embrace the notion that creative minds are often unorganized, clutter messes....but I confess that it feels so good to have things clean and clutter free. You have inspired me! Your sanctuary is lovely.
Way super cute! I love the pictures over the nightstands. What are they mounted on?
Love everything - it turned out so nice!!! Great job!!
Love it!!! Super cute!! Now will you redo my room? Haha
Your cruise looked like so much fun. While looking at your pictures It made me want to go on another. How was it with kids?
Are you going to watch the bachelorette this Monday?
The thing bugging me about the show is they can't find a new face to be the main person. Maybe not a big deal, but it bugs!!!
Way to go Jill! It looks awesome! And just for the record, I love your before pictures. We have always said we have a lot in common, we can add messy bedrooms (organized chaos if you will) to our list. Having a clean room always feels so good, it just always seem like the last room to get the attention it need. Love your makeover. I think I need to head to Target tomorrow :)
I love seeing before and after pictures!! Great work! Super cute!
Darling!!! You just inspired me to go organize our bedroom!
It looks beautiful and peaceful!! Way to go!
