Since I don&#8217;t have a headboard, I thought the window pane would help dress up the wall behind my bed.

I think one is baby items from one of my kids, so it will probably end up in their closet. I just love my dressers they are from my mother-in-law. I had been admiring them for years at her house and was excited when she decided she didn&#8217;t want them anymore. Can you see the yellow dresser in the background? That is part of my bathroom&#8230; can you believe you can fit a dresser in there? Question for my readers&#8230; should I paint the bathroom green too, or should I keep it white?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/thehappyhousewife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/06\/dscf00063.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-904\" title=\"dscf00063\" src=\"\/\/thehappyhousewife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/06\/dscf00063.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"446\" height=\"335\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This is my husband&#8217;s dresser.

I decided I need to be patient while waiting for a new bedspread. I wanted to rush out and purchase a set this weekend, so my room could be perfect (ha ha), but that wouldn&#8217;t be frugal. Since I don&#8217;t know exactly what I want, I don&#8217;t want to make a quick decision and regret it a year from now, if not sooner.<\/p>\n<p>I still need to organize my closet, but I am excited you can actually walk around my bed now!
