Every Square Inch of Space Counts...the Floor Edition

As much as I'd like to pare down my life to, say, three pairs of sensible shoes and two sweaters, I just can't seem to do it. So where to cram everything? Each and every bit of floor in our bedroom has a specific function. Let's take a tour!

Behind the door, we have a shoe rack, and a shoe/boot basket:


The space next to the shoe rack is the docking bay for the Roomba, and the spot for the pillar fan (we sleep with white noise in our house). Blow dryer hangs from a hook on the armoire, power strip has spots for other hair devices as needed. 


To the left of the armoire, we have the dirty clothes baskets (why yes, I am sharing my dirty laundry with the world!). To make room for husband's shoes, we put a crate on the floor that he stuffs them in. An old clothes butler holds stuff that most people would throw on an upholstered chair in their room, like clothes that need hemming or mending. 



Over on my side of the bed, the night stand, my footstool for reaching the top shelf in the closet, my gym bag on top of the footstool, the heating pad is stored behind the footstool, the closet space, and next to the chest of drawers, my extensive slipper collection (I have the world's coldest feet). 



And over on the Mister's side of the bed, eh, not much, just enough to walk through, and some power cords for the Christmas lights in the window. And the spot for his awesome robot robe I made him for Christmas a couple years ago? At the end of the bed, on the bedpost. 


The floor space under the bed is completely full as well, with clothes, pajamas, and wrapping paper and supplies. 

After all, what's a bedroom really for? Sleeping and storing clothes and shoes. Got the bases covered!
