Tiny corner of my home

If you have read my blog for a week then you have heard I have a VERY time apartment. 300 sq ft. It is not my dream home but it is home for now while my husband is in school. A good friend of mine, Anna posts pictures of parts of her home each week called Sunday Open House. She has taken a short break and I told her if she posts then I would! (great friend I am eh?? what can I say I love seeing inside people's homes)

So I give you my bureau.


For my birthday (cough4yearsagbutjustfinisheditcough) my dad made me my very first bureau all my own. (see not someone elses hand me down or thrift) While my clothing would never in a million years fit in the bureau I have used 4/5th of it with things that don't mind being folded. Undies, Bras, Socks and Denim.

(erp I have twice as much but this is what fit. I need to cull the collection)

I took this as a chance to go through my socks. I had an obscene amount. Lots I didn't like. So I kept only ones I liked and paired them and folded them! Lets see what it is like in a month. ha!

Sorry but bra and undies are staying closed. They are perfectly folded and lined up that I will tell you.

The last drawer was given to the husband because I am nice like that.

I finally have a surface to put some of my goodies so I went nuts. My jewelry collection doesn't all fit,

Nor do my perfumes so I put the most frequently used items on top, easily accessible. The H cup is samples and the milk glass is solid small pots of perfume. The tin at the back left that says "Ginger Spice" (yes I bought it just for that and tossed the cookies so to speak) and that is filled with oils. They tend to smell and leak so the tin was a nice solution.

The red tree I got at Urban Outfitters this past week in the sale section for $5 I want to spray paint it either hot pink or brown to fit into our bedroom colors more. I have lots of little boxes. Something about me says BUY HILLARY TINY WOODEN BOXES. I don't mind, I love them! The Pyrex is full of cocktail rings. The white jar is buttons off new clothes. I rip the bags off and shove them in there and eventually they will move to my sewing box.

The rest of my jewelry and perfumes and goodies are stored all over the place in Rubbermaid drawers but even after only a week this is working VERY WELL. When I want an item that isn't here I grab something from here and swap it out.

For a change all photos except the full bureau shot are CLICKABLE!
And yes there are 4 drawings of lovely naked zaftig french ladies above this all. ;)
