Somehow it seemed much easier to photograph progress on the house before we actually lived here. Now it's all, look at this basket of laundry! This rug is too small! Someone's been sneaking laptop time in bed! Too many library books!
Also, this room needs to be rearranged. It is a source of some degree of marital tension, I believe directly related to someone's deep seated fear of moving heavy objects. It seems like it would make sense to have the bed along the south wall, because that's the only flat open wall in the room. However, that also means that my head is about three feet from the door. So easy to fall asleep and relax when this the view from my pillow:
It's actually a lot better now, but it's definitely the prime crap collecting spot in the house. The other problem is that there isn't a clear workflow or path through the room, since you get stuck on the too big nightstand and then fall into the bed. Or bang your hip on the dresser. Whatever.
This view is not too shabby once you get in the bed.
Unfortunately, this opportunity is available to a very select few.
So what I want to do is put the bed on the north wall. Yes, there is a window. Yes, there is a bump where the chimney starts. I think these issues can be creatively addressed with window coverings, and the entire flow of the room improved about 300% by having a clear path. 
In happier news, shoes.
Happiest of all, the long awaited make up station.
Which is not quite as glamorous in its every day life, but who is, really?
The desk and chair are super temporary, because they stick out from the wall too much and are too short. But they were free and in my house. It works for now. The electrical in the master bathroom is complete, as is the drywall and trim. This room is on indefinite hiatus while we work on some other things (fence, floors refinished, etc). In the meantime, I'm casually thinking about tile choices. I have been thinking about going dark, possibly with a wood grain? But the whole tiling of the custom shower thing throws me for a loop.
No need to decide for a year or two. And in the meantime, make up!
From the listing:
As evidenced by the wear pattern in the carpet and on the hardwoods,
generations of masters have put the bed in the exact same spot.
Master bathroom.
This view doesn't really exist anymore. Now you'd be looking at the shower wall and the side of the make up station.
