What to do?

This was to be a red, white, and blue theme with bears. The room is our home office, guest room, baby room for the grandchildren, and music room. A multifunction room of the first order! I can't decide what I need to do next. The bookshelves need to have more color and be beefed up some. The blank space behind the bed needs something, but what? Plates? Pictures? The bed skirt is little short. Do I get another one? Add another layer underneath? This is what you seen when you enter the room. It seems cluttered to me. Any ideas? Budget? $50? That isn't much to work with.



I have lots of bears! This is just a sprinkling of them.



Maybe it's the combination of the quilt and the ornate day bed? Maybe I need a new direction altogether.


What to do? Hmmmn........(See, I'm still stuck!)


This post edited to add that I thank you all for your comments and ideas! I will be working on this room soon (I hope). I have been busy watching my grandson and daughter, she hasn't been well (expecting in June) and he has been ill also. Thanks!

Lots Of Projects Left To Finish!

Maggie needs her hair combed! It has been busy around here, but not much is getting done it seems. We're just starting the day though!



Phoebe is napping, as no one is paying her any attention. She is hanging out with her Mr. Fox. She begins napping about an hour after breakfast. Oh, the life of a dog!



I did get my bear stamps (from way back) framed. Found the frame at GW for .99! This is part of my red, white, and blue bear (computer, music, and guest) room. This room also functions as the baby changing station and my husbands' dressing room? How much more can a 10X11 room do?



This is another project not quite done. I have put the picture and plates on the wall, but still working on the platter part. I have a white one up there but wish it were a blue one. I'm still looking for the one I want to put there. I also want to paint the walls sometime in the near future.


I really want to put out some fall decor. I love it when the nights cool down and the trees change colors! I also love fall decorations; pumpkins, leaves, acorns,maize,corn stalks, etc. Fall leads to Thanksgiving and family time. I can hardly wait! What do you love about fall?

Favorite bear picture

Last year for Mother's day my husband had this picture framed for my gift. My oldest son did this with watercolor pencil while he was in college as part of a class project. It was given to me as a gift from him. ( I love handmade gifts!)

Bears are all over our computer room. Some bears live in shelves, on the daybed, and even in the closet. I'm afraid to say how many are living out their existence in storage because I ran out of room for them. Poor bears! I tried giving some away to good homes. For every one I place in a home a few more come into mine.
