31 Days of Settling: An (almost) finished bedroom

Tonight was our home study update!! Whew! We tried our best to have our place looking spiffy, buuuut.... I was actually vacuuming when she arrived (hey, she was a few minutes early!!) ;) so we did our home study update with the vacuum cleaner on center stage in the living room! We have a super sweet social worker, and she didn't mind a bit, fortunately! :)
With all the work getting ready for the update, I figured this room was the best it's ever looked, so I grabbed some quick pictures! 

We live this room! As I think I've said before, this is the biggest master bedroom we've ever had! We are really enjoying the space! (And glad there is room for a baby in there too!) here's the overall view:
(Somehow in bedroom pics, the bed always looks huge!! It's really just a queen!) 

How do you like my new (well, new to me) rocker in the corner? I love it!!
I actually bought it at a thrift store the Friday just before we found out that we had been selected by a birth mother! The arms are worn super smooth with use. :)

This is Mark's corner:
(And yes, I DO have a "thing" for unique chairs...) ;) 


And here's the "almost" part of this room: 

The armoir is decorated, but the bookshelf ends up being a catch all... Gotta work on that! I also have a few more things that I may hang in my corner, but I'm not set on it. I might just wait and see. 

And that is our room tour! I'll try to share the rest of our little place in the next couple of days. It is, after all, almost the end of the 31 days! :)

  1. It looks lovely. Thank you for sharing!

    I read in a magazine once that they always use (or try to use) double beds rather than queen beds for magazine shots of bedrooms, for the very reason you mentioned! They just look so big!

    1. Thank you!! And yes, I think a double would make sense for magazine shots - glad I don't live in a magazine world! ;)

    1. Thank you! Missed seeing you last weekend... I think this is probably the first sale we missed each other in a while! I hope you were able to make it. I did get some fun deals!!

      The blanket sounds so sweet! Thank you so much! Handmade gifts are a treasure! Hmm... color... how about a pretty lavender? ;)

  5. Your bedroom is lovely!

    When I read how your social worker arrived early for your home study, I chuckled to myself. It has been over thirty years ago and I still remember how nervous we were as we got the house all ready for our home study. Our social worker arrived a few minutes early, too. As I opened the front door for him to come in, I saw the bag of trash that my husband and I had both forgotten to take out in the pre-visit excitement. I had put the bag right by the front door so we wouldn't forget to take it out. Our social worker was so sweet and kind. He acted like he hadn't even noticed.
