I am a neatnik and my husband is a clutter bug; I asked him to please not bring his clutter into the bedroom (I put a small three-shelf bookcase on his side of the bed for his books and papers). For the most part, he is much less messy in the bedroom than in the rest of the house, so I’m grateful for that!

I do find that reducing clutter helps. We have a tiny house, our ‘bedroom’ is the lounge room floor…in an open plan setting, where the kitchen/lounge/dining area is all combined. You know the joke, if you want breakfast in bed then sleep in the kitchen? Yeah, that’s us! ?

Our house has one bedroom, that we gave to our child, because then all the toys have a home that isn’t in sight ALL THE TIME. This was something that drove my hubby crazy, when toys were everywhere! So, we decided to sacrifice having ‘our space’, by making the bedroom that we can shut the door on the ‘kid space’. It makes for much more relaxing evenings!

Obviously, sleeping on the lounge room floor does mean that the tv is right there, but we aren’t big tv watchers anyway, far more likely to get carried away with a book, or researching something online!

Our house has been slowly evolving over the past few years, I think we’ve gotten it about as good as we can get it utilising the space that we have. Now, I’m just working on keeping it clean!!!?

Yeah, we’ve been married 22 years (almost 23) and have only had a tv in our bedroom for about 5…when we had our 4th baby people kept suggesting a tv?!?! ?
Anyways, I actually find it works well for us (we didn’t have one for the longest time because that was a “rule”) because it allows me to decompress from motherhood and shift gears to wifehood!! A 30 minute sitcom that the kids aren’t in on is perfect for me.

On the other things, I like less clutter and soft colors. Doesn’t have to be fancy. Our bedroom is the one room in the house where toys are not allowed. And I minimize kids hanging out in there. That’s what it’s all about for me-the bedroom is where I’m me. And where I’m a wife. Of course I’m always a mom!! And I always want to be, but my bedroom is where I lay some of that down.
