The Current State of the "Spare" Room

I keep referring to it as the "Spare" room. My husband corrects me that it is "My" room. In our previous two apartments, it was always referred to as my room. But I want to highlight that this time it is meant to be more multifunctional. 


Previously, the room was dedicated to all my hobbies and then additionally as my office during the pandemic. Now, while serving those purposes, it also needs to be a guest bedroom. Just this past week we bought a mattress. A Murphy bedframe is being delivered tomorrow afternoon. 

Bestar Evolution Wall Bed, White

I really like the solution of the Murphy bed and hopefully it works as well as I am imagining. 


The majority of my EGL stuff is now put away...

It was hard to fit the entire height of the closet into one photo!

Albeit, not in a super well organized manner in some cases...

Some of the drawers in this dresser. Very full and very messy...

One day, I will organize the above dresser with all my socks and cardigans and such. There is also a storage bin full of EGL clothes that I don't think I want to part with but haven't got room for in the closet. As I mentioned in my last blog post, I'm waiting until post pregnancy to make any decisions about selling things. Justification is that quite a bit of my wardrobe was difficult to acquire. If I sell things, I might not be able to find them again.

This also reminds me that I need to update the wishlist page of this blog! Eep!


This camera angle is mostly satisfying to look at.


Since the closet in this room is half the size of my previous hobby room, besides putting some things into a storage bin, layering blouses with jumperskirts on the same hanger was also a necessity. It was kind of fun to choose which to layer with which though. I wonder if it will affect coordinate planning for me though? Because there is now already a suggestion that a certain blouse and jumperskirt should go together. 

I've also got some of my art supplies in the closet with my EGL wardrobe. Prior to moving, all my painting supplies were stored in the living/dining area of our previous apartment. I'm not even sure how they migrated out there from my hobby room. Art is also something that's fallen to the wayside whilst pregnant. I know I am going to be super busy taking care of a small human, but I hope I regain passion for my hobbies. In any case, it is a bit hard to organize this room when I am not doing any of my hobbies. Not sure what arrangement will be the most functional for me.

There's also a hold on putting up any decor until the Murphy bedframe is installed. It's going to take up most of one wall. It needs to be in place before anything else goes on the walls.
