Since moving in 2+ years ago, I've been in the (slow) process of creating an oasis of some sorts out of my "closet." Really, it's the second bedroom of my two-bedroom apartment that I share with Shrek, but I managed to strong-arm him into the entire room to myself. Don't feel bad for him; he's taken over the entire dining table and transformed it into his personal entertainment/work space.
Back to the closet. This is what the room looked like right after I moved in September of '07.
Yikes! Was it messy and cluttered! Now that I look back, though, it totally resembled my life at that time; my then husband and I had just separated for good and, well, my life was messy and cluttered.
Fast forward two years. Although the room's basic layout and large furniture remain in place, the room certainly has a more serene and polished look and feel. Those earlier photos just make me cringe.
