House tour

I love seeing pictures of the inside of my blogging friends' homes. So, if you don't, skip this post!

Our house evolves on an almost weekly basis. I am kind of obsessed with re-arranging, re-evaluating, and de-cluttering. Tim and I recently joined a decluttering support group on Facebook and have had a fun time finding new challenges and seeking to utilize our 600-sq-ft to its maximum efficiency in a minimalist and non-cluttered manner. I like my space to be neat, organized, and free of junk everything. I hate trinkets and have no tolerance for clutter...

About a month ago, Atticus was gifted a new bed from a professor in our department whose kid outgrew it. Since it's painted pink and purple, it was pretty much the great thing ever, though he was a tad disappointed because we thought we were going to buy him bunk beds before it was given to us and he was really confused as to where Lulah would sleep. No worries, dear brother! We just tossed her crib mattress on the floor next to his bed, and we push it under in morning, trundle-style. The arrangement is working out pretty good, it allows her a space all her own, and it's easy for her to get out and walk into our bed when she needs us in the night (like when Atticus rolls out of bed on top of her... oi!)

I snapped these photos right after we set up his new bed and room, and had every intention of posting them then... but our home has even changed since then. We no longer have the train table in the nook (kids didn't play with it often enough to justify all the space it took up) and I am currently thinking about options for a reading/book nook or a Lulah-bed nook. Once Lu is sleeping better at night, we are thinking about trading in our king-sized mattress for a smaller one since it takes up our entire bedroom. I want more desk space for studying, and I kind of want something off the ground so we can store boxes underneath.

    Perfect description about my feelings towards our current apartment! After almost three years of living here, I am still re-arranging and de-cluttering. However, I am happy to say that I have made some progress :) I dislike clutter and junk, and I am constantly sorting through our things, donating/selling things. It feels like it will never end (and probably won't) now that we have a baby! Please, feel free to pass along any wise/good tips for living a de-cluttered and space-efficient lifestyle!
