Features of a Love Nest
My husband is still such a slob. I do not understand this about him or about anybody else who is a slob. It’s like he has no sense of aesthetics or like clutter and mess doesn’t bother him. He piles all his stuff all over both dressers and throws his clothes around on the floor. When I complain he says just throw his stuff wherever. So our bedroom always has piles of his clothes here and piles of his papers there. I feel like even when I straighten the bed and sweep and all, our room still looks all janky because of his junk.
We already have a hamper in the bedroom for his dirty clothes. The problem is he either doesn’t use it or we get behind on laundry so that it is full. Then he starts throwing stuff on the floor. I do think we need a different storage option for his papers and stuff.
What I need to do is sell him on how the features of a beautiful bedroom will benefit him. Namely, number one way is a happier wife who gets more and better sleep because she sleeps in beautiful surroundings. So less aggravation and nagging for him. Thoughts?
Today we are going to pick out a new comforter and buy a big plant for our bedroom. The Love Nest is getting there!

Good afternoon :)
First I must say that I love your blog,and your locs. I wore locs for 4-1/2 years,been natural for 6 years, and now wear a twa for 1 year. I plan to start my second set of locs soon. In addition, I am also in an interracial marriage,and it's great reading blogs from the life of others also interracial marriages.
Regarding your blog entry "Features of a Love Nest," call it wisdom from a 41 year old :) but it is not the outer esthetics of a bedroom such as the adornments, furniture, paint, flooring, and other decorative touches that make it a love nest, but it is the two people that share that room as one that make it a love nest but a paradise. I do not see your husband as a slob, he is actually comfortable in his bedroom and that is romantic. My husband also throws his clothes on the floor,but I do not pick them up until laundry day. Why? Because I refuse to change him as that is his comfortness at home and that is the man I married- not wanting to change him. A bedroom is what you make it emotionally, and positive feelings make a bedroom a love nest. You can not rely on outside decorative touches and new furniture to make you happy in your bedroom as first you must be happy and then the decorative touches will come because you will know what will make you both comfortable with how the room should look. Our bedroom is plain until we are done with remodeling the rest of this 30 year old home ourselves. I am married to a carpenter,so if you are unaware of carpenters..they will start a home project and finish it a months or year later..tee..hee.. :)But,being our bedroom is plain, that does not mean it is not a love nest. It is truly a love nest, comfortable, and passionate area that we both are very relaxed in and passionate in. So, I'm long winded, but I admire your blogs and publishing businesses although I only know you through your blogs. I hope this wisdom helps.
~ Peace
