Master bedroom...

The master bedroom is our next big project around here. BUT it might stay crappy for a while, unfortunately. We are hoping to move in early 2011. So the big debate is should we bother redoing our master in this house if we're just going to get a new master bedroom in 6 months. PLUS that money could be put into our savings to help us move sooner. So for now the master is staying untouched - but hopefully I'll at least get it organized in the next little while. Until a master bedroom overhaul is on the horizon, though, I'll post some inspiration that's got me planning my future clothing storage already.

Creating my own workspace

Right now my workspace is a broken laptop propped up on my coffee table. I really need to find a place in my house that is just MINE. Little guy has a nursery, hubs has a basement "man zone" and I've got... well, the whole house, I guess. But none of the house is really a creative zone for me right now. I've got a miniature kitchen, a family room full of dog toys and baby stuff, and a master bedroom that is the worst utilization of space I can imagine. It really is awful. And it might just need a makeover before I can even find a workspace - it could even be the home of my own little workspace if I can get it organized and find some realistic clothes storage.
Until I start planning that, though, workspace porn!

Getting Organized

One of my goals right now is to get my life organized. I've made a ton of progress as far as keeping our house more organized since our little guy was born. It makes life about a million times easier knowing where everything is when you've only got 5 minutes to yourself to actually get things done. I still suck at keeping our schedule organized, though. The calendar in my phone is too tiny, Google calendar is perfect except I don't always have a chance to get on the computer, and my wall calendar can only hold so much information. So I ordered this planner from Doublebooked on Etsy.
So far I'm thrilled with it. The layout is perfect for me - I can see the whole week at once which makes syncing it up with my google calendar and wall calendar quick & easy. It's also got a mini to do list for each day (probably my favourite feature) and has pockets throughout for the random paperwork I usually lose.

But the best, best, BEST part of it? It's adorable! All of the books in the shop are made from old childrens' books. They're adorable and I smile every time I use mine.
