pegkerrOne thing that I determined as I lay in bed coughing for the best part of a week was that I was pretty dissatisfied with my bedroom.
There is no color to speak of--just white, cracked walls. I have artwork, but it is more than a decade old. There is a huge brick-and-board bookcase over to one side, filled with Rob's classic science fiction and fantasy.
It occurred to me during that long, long week of coughing my guts out that I have not pulled a book off that bookcase for over six years.
It is time to make over my bedroom.
Once I started thinking about that, I started getting rather excited at the idea. For so many years, the house was stuffed to the brim with Rob's junk, but I have been clearing it out. I remade the living room to my own tastes, and now it is time to re-do my bedroom.
So now I plan to take down the bookcase and give away or sell the books. I have been going to consignment stores, looking at artwork and furniture, and contemplating my own taste. I want to set up a reading nook in the corner where Rob's dresser once stood. I want to add color and a botanical flair.
This collage is pulled from the vision board I have been playing with on Pinterest.
I am ready to make a nest of my bedroom.

A bluebird perches on the sofa with a tuft of moss in its beak. Lower left corner: a botanical green wing chair. Above the wing chair: a delicate print of a stylized tree with birds perched in the branches. Right center: a bookcase styled as a tree, with the books resting on the branches.
