Turning my bedroom into a sanctuary! Decluttering to (almost) minimalism! Plus a bonus book purge!

- This has been the most satisfying decluttering session thus far for me. I've always wanted my bedroom to be a calming, tranquil, escape room from the chaos everywhere else and now I finally have it. Since the clothing was already decluttered and minimized by half, the rest of this room didn't really take very long, despite it being filled to the brim with things that didn't even belong in there. Once I emptied it of the things that should be living in other rooms, I could see the light at the end of the tunnel and was able to really let go of much more than I expected. But don't come for me about the books! I'm surprised I was able to declutter any books at all and consider this a great success! 😆

I don’t know what happened to my music in the last making the bed scene, but I guess we can just enjoy the minimalism with a few moments of silence as well 😂
Little free libraries are great for any extras too!
The smile on your face at the end brought me joy! I'm so happy for you. It was especially validating hearing you say reading is your hobby - I'm stuck in this mode of feeling I have to be productive and I've lost my joy of reading. Thank you!
That mindset of productivity is why my books backed up in the first place. I’ve finally gotten to a place where I realized I’m actually more productive if I take time to do things that make me happy. I’m in a better headspace when it’s time to work. Grab a trashy romance novel and bring some joy back to your life!
Honestly I feel so cozy watching your videos, like cleaning with an old friend, you're so light and easy on the heart 💙
That is such a compliment, thank you!
I don't know why it felt so good to hear you say you were getting rid of the rowing machine. Yay for nothing under the bed. Thank you for taking us along on this journey.
Because rowing machines suck! 😄
I totally agree: stuff under the bed is, in fact, a cause of stress so she was right on the money when she said it. Yay for nothing under the bed! You go girl, you’re doing great!
I use to read ALOT. Like you, i am a fast reader. I started putting a little dot, in pencil, on the inside of the back cover once i read the book. Last time i moved i was able to quickly look at the book and knew i could donate it.
I'm really exciting that you're doing more decluttering /organizing content. Believe it or not I think that most of the house in today's world with children are over cluttered and disorganized and people are overwhelmed everywhere. Unfortunately most of the content that we see on CZcams right now our from people who have already done their homes and are telling you how to do it. Your channel and content is really needed right now. We need to see the process and it gives us motivation to work on ours
Thank you so much for saying that. I do laugh a lot at some of the videos on CZcams where they’re cleaning up their “disaster” homes and it’s literally just a few toys and a load of laundry to put away 😆 like, girl come to my house if you want to see a real disaster! 😂
Yes. I agree. Seeing the progress motivates me tremendously !
So true
@@DormanFamilyCircus I totally believe that one day you were going to be that person cleaning up a few toys and a bit of laundry. As long as you keep up this great work you will get there. And we will enjoy the journey with you.
@@caryface1886 yes 👍
Great idea to donate the books you've read, I donate mine@
You're absolutely right! The more decluttering done, the better you feel. It almost becomes an obsession. I am not a minimalist, not by any means, but decluttering itself makes me feel good...like losing weight without a lot of pain!! You're doing a great job!
I just binge watched all of the bedroom declutter videos. What a transformation! Great work. I found that laundry is so much easier with less clothes too! I’ve also gotten rid of most of my decor items for the same reason as you, to simplify cleaning and making things look more streamlined. And it’s true, the decluttering is addicting. Once you start, you want to get rid of more and more. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for binge watching! 😁 It’s already such a huge lift off the mental load and subconscious guilt I was carrying with me. The daily tasks are much more manageable with having less piles of things in the way. It just feels like such a huge relief in so many ways.
@@DormanFamilyCircus I’ve heard that clutter causes mental stress, and I’ve experienced it myself.
I like how your cat was pretnding to be a clock! (in the window above the chair)
So much more peaceful! And you are right- the more you declutter, you just want to peel back the layers!
Love your decluttering videos! At first I was with those telling you to stop the incoming books, but then who am I kidding, I have way more than you in my TBR pile and still go thrifting for more haha. I also like to keep books after I've read them and have two shelves full I want to re-read so honestly I'm worse than you. Your bedroom is coming along really nicely, I love the pops of teal, def want that for my room
There’s no “worse” or “better” than anyone else. We’re all just doing what makes us happy! If I had more room to store books I’d keep a lot more too 😆 I’m glad my fellow book people understand the struggle! Haha
Looks good! And I really like the nightstands. Maybe just sand down the bubbled areas and get a small can of paint to repair those spots?! No reason to get rid of them. Letting go of the rowing machine was a great choice.
I was thinking that at first but it looks like they are some kind of composite. What about adding tile to the tops?
The room looks so good🎉 Tbh, as a person who owns 250+ unread books and about as many read faves, this doesn't look bad at all! Maybe when your house is decluttered, you will have space for a bookshelf these books can go on and keep about 10 books you are most exited about in your nightstand that you can see easily. It could also help you to read more. My appartment is pretty much minimalist, but I allow myself to keep as many books as I want because they are my passion and they have designated bookshelves. That said, if I loose interest in reading a book or I read it and don't love it, it goes!
If I had more room to store books I’d definitely be keeping more! 🥰📚
It looks sooo good!! I love the momentum and how you are chipping away at all the excess inventory
Yes! I keep looking around and thinking “I don’t like all this stuff enough to want to dust it” 😆 away it goes!
Haha yes! I have moved quite a lot and I have another move coming up, so for me: do I want to move this again? is a very helpful question as well. Also I have noticed that i'd rather keep reducing/using up/donating my belongings instead of buying more furniture to put it all in. Furniture Free is very inspiring as well, for several reasons. Anyway, I am looking forward to seeing the rest of your videos! :) Greetings from The Netherlands!@@DormanFamilyCircus
This was so satisfying to watch!! I am really enjoying your decluttering journey. I would also love to see a video of you doing your task actions like hanging up the picture frames and the mirror.
Great idea!!
Nice work!! I’m also happy to see another bedroom on CZcams that resembles mine! I’ve got a major declutter/organize/major makeover planned for probably summertime on my channel and I can hardly wait! Thank you for the added motivation! 😊
Oh it’ll feel so good once it’s done, believe me! I don’t even want to leave my bedroom now 🤣 I’m looking forward to your videos!!
Your decluttering series is probably my favorite on CZcams. Maintaining your home really is so much easier with all the excess gone!
I’ve only done a fraction of what needs to be done in the rest of the house but it’s already completely changed my day to day life! I’m infinitely less stressed out now. You’re so right, maintenance and daily cleaning is a breeze now.
The bedroom looks great, Jamie! After your closet cleanout video, I was inspired to go through my closet as well. I didnt cut it in half, but did purge quite a lot and the result was great! I hadnt gone through the closet since last summer, so it was great to get that done.
Yay!!
Well done on commitment to read your books!
I gave up tv so I can read 4 hours a day
We just have to accept we aren’t going to live forever and time is so precious
Well done Jamie!! It looks sooo much better!! I’m sure you’re both getting a more peaceful sleep in this much more calm and airy bedroom! I’m excited to see what’s next!
So happy your depression is lifting. When you declutter it lifts my spirits. Your boys look so well groomed. You’ve motivated to brush my little man dog.
Oh gosh..if people get mad just because you have books in your home, then that is just sad. People have home libraries. We have so many bookshelves in our home, both husband and I are readers, and we just love books. We have books we read and we have collections of old books and 1st edition and signed books. Don't ever feel bad because yiu love books amd enjoy them, there are worse things in life. Lol
The minimalism warriors can be vicious in the comments! 😂 I wish more than anything I had a spot in this apartment to have a whole wall of bookshelves. I have a collection of signed first editions, I have a collection of really reeeeally old hardback books with beautiful covers. I need a whole Beast’s Library! I’m glad fellow bibliophiles understand! 🥰📚
@@DormanFamilyCircus wow that would be cool! I can only dream about this, because I live. in a small apartment of 86 square meters for 4 people. you have a big house, I think your dream can come true 👍❤️
My mom taught me to love reading. I consider that a great gift that’s enriched my life forever. I inherited her Library of Mystery books & DVD’s. She loved Romantic Comedy and Musicals and Suspense movies of the 1940’s , 50’s 60’s. I donated some to an Assisted Living place but kept a lot. I added my music collection and now have my own Sanctuary. Blake has his music lounge ( very cool) and You deserve a reading nook. If that’s your bed - fine! We all need self care and nourishment. Once you are done with decluttering you can start an on line book club for your kids and others. That’d be fun!
I think the books look colorful and pretty in your nightstand!
Wow the room looks brilliant I to have a problem with books and nik naps but have started to let them go and to be honest it does feel better 💐😁🇬🇧❤️🐈⬛🐈
I put my initials inside the book❤ cover so I know that I read it. You could cancel your book subscription till you read most of the books and start it up again. That way you can get caught up and save money too
It’s pre-paid for the year already. I’m just going to be pickier with getting less per month and skipping a month if none of the books sound reeeeally good. 😊
Your teal side tables are beautiful. Sand down the top and repaint teal. I got my paint from home depot. Then buy the plastic table covers. I got mine on Amazon. I had to cut mine to fit but it's worth it!
It’s not solid wood, just that horrible pressboard stuff so sanding wouldn’t work unfortunately. They were honestly just cheapy things from Target so I don’t mind replacing them eventually, if we can ever find the vintage side tables that match our bedroom set that would be ideal!
If it’s not wood n can’t be sanded & painted maybe sand it down so there’s no bubbling & put some peel & stick wallpaper(faux marble look)? I agree w Amanda I love those end tables!❤
Since u have the mirror & framed paintings for several yrs to hang would maybe hiring someone on task rabbit work? U prob only need an hr or two of their time? If ur like me it just won’t get done so having an appt w a guy to get it done would work!!
So happy watching this decluttering journey for u!!❤️👍🏻
@@pinadelmonicoI’ve never even heard of task rabbit but I looked it up and this might be the most genius idea ever 😂 thank you!!
Omg I’m so happy to help!!🥰
Thanks for inspiration I need to declutter my bedroom.
So GREAT! You deserve a calm and beautiful bedroom 😍
I'm just going to live vicariously through you!😅❤
I bought matching table runners for our night stands,mine are in good shape but they are dark wood and I’m too lazy to dust that often so they buy me some time.🤭(mine are a similar width to yours so the runners fit well or you could just get some washable fabric that coordinates with your bedding and cut them to fit.) My husband also has a CPAP machine on his side of the bed so he drilled a hole (with a keyhole saw big enough for the plug end to go through) in the back of the cabinet on the right side. We put the machine inside the cabinet and put the plug through the back and plugged it in the wall. At night,he just leaves the door open,pulls out the hose and then puts it away in the morning.( there is plenty of air space to run it all night with the door open. I don’t have to pretend that it’s decorative,😂🤣😅 and it may actually be a little more sanitary having it put away during the day?) Oh,and I also taped pretty paper on the inside of the glass doors because besides the CPAP machine,nothing else I store in either one is attractive enough to look at.😵💫🤭
Your closet looks great!!!!
Awesome job. Your bedroom looks great.
The bedroom looks great Jamie!
I watched all your videos today, I am sick with tummy flue, so enjoyed them so much and your humor. This one is my favorite since I love books as well. Also, very happy, you mentioned bad vibes with stuff under your bed and getting rid of the machine. Less we have more mental energy we have and can enjoy our stuff. Happy I found your channel, hugs from Denmark
Thank you for watching and the kind comments! But I’m so sorry about the tummy bug! I hope you’re better very soon 😣
I love seeing this room take shape! Now that the picture frames are gone from between the two dressers, could you move the pole lamp that's currently next to the rowing machine into that spot? That way you could slide the rowing machine to the right and the door might open freely. Then, once the rowing machine is under the bed, you could put a laundry hamper there. I was also going to suggest placing the mirror on top of the long dresser, and I don't think you would even need to attach it to the wall if you put artist putty along the bottom edge of the frame so that it can't slide forward.
PS when you get to creating your paint-by-number gallery, you can make it easier by cutting pieces of newspaper in the sizes of the artwork and taping them to the wall with masking tape. That way you can play around with different positions without moving picture hangers. Command hooks would work great for that and won't damage the walls.
I’m planning to use the Velcro command picture hangers since the paint by numbers are so lightweight. Thanks for all the helpful suggestions!
Great job, so proud you're decluttering rower!
Fabulous!!!! Omg I need to do this so bad
You are doing such a good job. I, too, love books. I have volunteered at our local library for the last 20 years. Libraries do need current books for their collection. Used Book sales help the library too and that is what they do with older books. I can't tell you how sad it is to see someone bringing in old musty books that they have had in attic for 20 years. There are so many people who can use them now. You are right, the library will have most things you need for the future. You are doing such a good thing by sharing current materials.
My local library has a permanent used book store inside where they sell the old books. Thats where I’ve found lots of gorgeous antique books (which I also have a collection of in another room!). I love supporting our local library, it’s one of the most beautiful places in the whole city and I used to go there very often as a kid. Libraries are magical places! 🥰📚
Let’s hope that libraries continue to be funded!
I like your observation that some decluttering & cleaning videos are in houses that just have a load of laundry to put up & little else needing attention.😂😅 You've done a great job in that room! Inspiring! Thanks. Mary Scott
I actually like how the books look in your nightstand with the covers facing out. More colorful than the pages! (And the things holding your headboard on are called cleats!)
Thank you!
Great decluttering video!
LOVE the cat involvement!
I saw you have The Giver...one of THE greatest books of all time!
I haven’t read it since 6th grade! But I still remember it and reference it all the time. Definitely due for a reread! 📚
I love the blue side table. Instead of eventually replacing it, buy some thin boards and wood glue them on as a new top and stain or paint them. Instant new life for this lil gem. Hear❤😊
Look at Orthopaedic mattresses with back problems they are a game changer. A bad mattress can cause so many problems.
Thank you for getting me through my 45 minute cardio! You did awesome! I have to know what’s in the hope chest! Could the afghans be stored in there? Or any if the artwork you haven’t decided wear to hang yet?!
Enjoying your journey!
Motivating
I love your bedroom furniture! Mid century modern vibes ❤
I like that you talk things out it makes me think of what I need to do for each room besides declutter. Such as the big mirror or new bed frame. My brain wasn't thinking of adding a specific list for each room on what must be fixed or buying something more useful then what I have. I sometimes thought of it but would then forget. Making a master list for each room makes the most sense doesn't matter how long it takes because depends on your money flow on what is priority. Just making a plan is less stressful. I find too the more I can let go the easier it gets to get rid of more because life gets easier & as I get older I don't want to be dealing with this crap & my daughter isn't going to want most of my stuff lol
That sounds like Swedish death cleaning! Have you heard of that idea before? There are videos about it if you haven’t. I’m half Swedish and it’s really an interesting concept to not leave behind a bunch of problems for your family to deal with and also get the important family heirlooms divvied out long before we pass! It sounds quite freeing.
You're going to be so happy once you've decluttered your home once or twice!!!! Will be so much easier to clean!!!
That’s the truth!!
Amazing job ❤
I really like your décor style, you have a good eye for furniture.
Damn!!! You can be proud of yourself!! As soon as I am healthy enough I will try to do the same! I think my sleep will improve so much when my bedroom isn‘t that cluttered anymore
Thank you!! It has improved my sleep, my mental health, and overall mood so much. I will also say it’s been 1000x easier to keep it clean the last few weeks and much quicker to put away laundry. I hope you get well soon. Once you’re able even doing just one little pile or area at a time will make you feel so good. And I don’t remember or miss one single thing I got rid of, too.
Really great job, Jamie!! I agree with you on the thought that decluttering is contagious! Your Grandmother’s mirror would be wonderful above your dresser!! 😉♥️
Hello! I'm new here. I love books too! I also donate those I've read and have unread books in 3 rooms of my house. Yay books! They bring me so much joy and then I pass on the joy to others. Happy reading to you! 😊🐦
As long as you're reading them I don't think it's out of hand. In the past when I've felt overwhelmed by too many books waiting for me to read them, I would go through them and donate the ones that didn't seem as interesting to me. I'd send them out into the world to be enjoyed by others, content that I still have plenty here to enjoy myself.
Hi, Jamie! I came across your channel just yesterday and am watching your decluttering videos since then. I NEVER experienced a household as relatable as yours! I struggle with clutter and know *the piles* so well! Thank you so so much for sharing your decluttering journey!! It IS a huge motivation for me! I'm not a collector per se, but I (we) have a problem with hobby-supplies and very few accessable storage... 🙃Also hi to Maxwell and Penny from our two furbabies ❤ lot's of love from Germany🤗
Thank you for the kind comment and I’m glad you can relate!!
I love reading too! I love The Great Gatsby.
Such a great one
My first time watching your channel. Like it, very realistic. I have way too many "action items" in my place. And since I don't have a helper here, they sit for too long. Working on getting rid of many items - selling hopefully- since not a lot of room in my singlewide manufactured home. My home downsized but I am still working on it.
My husband also has an OVER ABUNDANCE of CPAP supplies so now I tell them he only needs such and such this month,not everything.
This is my first video of yours and I must say, I love how REAL you are. Thanks for fun content :-)
Awesome! I've got to do my bedroom as well, it's a hot mess! I shove things in the sitting area when people are coming to stay and then I forget about it. I'm a voracious reader.
Aren’t you a speed reader, or did I dream that? 😆
@@DormanFamilyCircus yup, my mother would take me to the thrift bookstore to keep up with my reading. I'd easily finish a 500 page book in a day or two at most & I typically can remember every book I've read.
Oh goodness- I have the same problem with books. My TBR pile is out of hand! And it’s probably 50% of my mess issue. Great declutter! I worked along side you!
LOVE 1984! My daughter was born that year! She grew up to Teach that book❤
Yes it is! Plus it’s a keeper and the kids should read it later.
I’ve seen someone add wheels to the bottom of trifted dresser drawers and use them as storage bins under their bed. I can picture books stores spine up in these drawers under your bed.
That’s clever!
I love reading as well. I used to belong to a book club although my books of choice were historical stuff. It started to get expensive. When I started decluttering a few years ago, at one point I switched to getting my books from the library. Free, and if I don't like them, I don't feel like I wasted money and there is less clutter. If I really like a book or if I find that I am checking out the same book over and over, I find a copy on Ebay for cheap. I love my books and am a constant re-reader (is that a word?). Love your channel!
I definitely want to utilize our library more. We have an exceptional one and I want my kids to get familiar with it, too. My biggest problem with reading before I joined the book club was figuring out what to read. I was always looking for book recommendations but I don’t read a lot of the genres that my family & friends do. That is why I love that we get 5-7 books to pick from each month and is what drew me to the book club in the first place. It’s cheap, too, at least compared to buying other hardbacks brand new from Amazon or Barnes & Noble, etc. but I definitely don’t need to be getting more than 1 per month from now on 😅 ebooks and a kindle might be an answer too. I know so many people love their kindles but I’m just such a purist for a real tactile book! But when my boys were infants I used to read books on my phone while nursing, etc, because I didn’t want to drop a big hardback on them 😂
Why physical books though, why not electronic for the Book of the Month? I truly understand your attachment to physical books as I own what’s classed as a library due to volume, but moved over to electronic several years ago .... hundreds of books on one very light device (then I don’t feel guilty about keeping the physical ones I already have as I’m not adding to the amount - I have problems just throwing books away and the charity shops don’t want paperback which are 50+ years old, so the electronic formats were my decluttering salvation
That’s definitely something I’ve considered, especially as my eyesight gets worse 😆 I’ve seen lots of people who absolutely love their kindles. It might be a move I make once these physical books start dwindling down.
You did a fantastic job 👏👏.
Yes, I do remember those! I just decluttered all my extra colors of that.. plastic thread stuff (I don't even know what it's called, lol)! I did keep a few completed braided key chains though 😅
I love your decluttering videos. I personally love your night stands. maybe try sanding them down. and repainting. I think the books look like art. Great job.
Unfortunately they’re just cheap particle board cabinets from Target and can’t be refinished. They’re definitely ruined. I do love the color of them though!
@@DormanFamilyCircus if you prime the top with Bin primer you can repaint. Just a thought.
This is so much fun to watch!!!!
Will be great when you get those photos and rower under your new bed!!!!
I love the books in your case and the yellow lamp. It brings out the books well. I don't read, but I am the same way with clothing. I thrift new clothes and TRY to get rid of old, but new comes in more than old goes out. It's a struggle for sure! Anyways, enjoyed your realistic video.
wow what a great job . 👍
Just found your channel. Enjoyed your video, very realistic.
Suggestion for the large mirror, pull the dresser a couple of inches from the wall and you can prop the mirror slanted onto the dresser without mounting for now. You can add small rubber clear dots to the edge of the mirror so it doesn't slide at all. I've done this myself and it works.
Hire a handy man that knows how to hang heavy items without damage. Or if money is an issue then there’s always CZcams. Lol 😂
Now that you bring that up, one of our neighbors is a contractor… I bet he’d be willing to help me! I never even consider getting experts involved 🤣 what a concept, find someone who actually knows what they’re doing LOL
You did great girl!
I love all your vintage lamps!!!
Stumbled across your channel and just wanted to say I’m really loving your de cluttering videos, sending you all the motivation you need for the rest of your house (especially your office 😆) hello from England 😊
Thank you so much!!
You got me thinking…
A world where libraries don’t exist is scary!
I agree!
Looking good!
Hi… idea for your mirror. Take picture down over the dresser. Get some drawer liner that is rubber with lots of little holes. Place mirror onto dresser and use small pieces of drawer liner under mirror. Will not slide and you won’t have to worry about trying to hang that heavy piece. I did this with my mirror and it works great
I’m in earthquake land, southern CA, so everything needs to be fastened into the studs
Vertical Bookcases are really good for storage. If funds allow, how about a vertical bookshelf in the closet and fold up tees, socks, underwear, etc in the side tables? An organizer inside the side table drawers (small boxes will do, items around the house, mushroom containers works too).
I love your decluttering series, they are so much fun! Amazing job and cant' wait to see more! ♥
Instead of under bed storage, how about under bureaus storage bins? They have them on wheels which makes it easy to slide in and out, as needed.
For some reason you popped up on my suggestions, probably because I watched tons of decluttering videos. I love your Kent Coffey dresser and high boy and I love paint by numbers, I only have three, but I love them and you’re watching Shadow and Jackie. Looks like I was meant to watch your videos, I love MCM, I like the headboard too.
Awesome! Thank you!
I have an idea for your side tables if you don’t mind 😊
How about a small table runner
Or a large wooden tray on top of the damaged surfaces?
Just an idea ❤
That would definitely make it look nicer!
I see that one of your books is Black Cake. It is really a great book and an enjoyable read.
You did a great job! You can never have too many books tho lol from a fellow book hoarder a skinny tall bookcase in the corner would house all the books? I love books out on bookcases I don't see it as clutter x
All you fellow book people are making me feel much better!! Maybe you’re right, I don’t have a book problem, I just need a new bookshelf! Haha
It seems like you would really benefit with replacing your bedside cabinets with some small bookshelves, would probably be cheaper too! Ikea have some really nice underbed storage options. I agree too much stuffed under the bed is stressful and makes it difficult to clean but having a couple of proper storage items that can easily be moved is tolerable :)
A couple of comments: 1) Put a piece of paper with whatever design or color you want inside the glass of your bedside tables. You can find great patterns by the individual sheet at places like Michaels, Joann, or Hobby Lobby. That'll help a lot with visual clutter. 2) We have huge book collections. Will we read them again? No. Plus a lot of things just go cyclicly--our youngest child is 25 and none of the kids want to read their books again, nor are they interested in moving them out to their own places. If it is a book that is dear to them I will save it FOR NOW and I'll save books that have meaning to me but it also helps to know that there will always be MORE books that haven't even been written yet that I will want to read. There does come a time when you just get sick of dealing with everybody's everything. Right now I am trying to trade in/sell a lot of our books (taking the payment option rather than just taking credit for more books!), and anything they don't buy I donate to the library or to Goodwill type places for their book sales and for a tax break for me. I have always kept all kinds of unfinished projects and I have a lot of things from family (like full china services for each kid and none of them even want them etc) and it really gets to feel oppressive as you get older (I am 66 now--had kids late.) I have a lot more to say but I'll spare you. P.S. Your dresser and bureau (if that is what it is called) are beautiful vintage pieces! Nice. Like your honesty.
Loving the content ❤and thank you for playing really chill music along with your declutterring. I find it difficult to want to declutter alongside other channels when the ramped up music feels like I need to be at a Rave.😂side note- instead of replacing end tables, have you ever thought of buying some cool contact paper and covering the top of them? It will stop any more water damage and still look clean and cute!
Haha I agree with the rave music! 🤣
Definitely recommend kristin hannah the nightingale 5 star read for me at least
You did a great job. If you haven’t hung the mirror yet you could just stand it on the dresser, it could work horizontally or vertically. Looking forward to what’s next. Keep building those purging muscles.
I’m in earthquake land (Southern California) so it really needs to be anchored to the studs. Even a minor shake would send it crashing down of if I tried to just balance it somehow. But thank you for the suggestion and positive feedback! I appreciate it.
I have a idea for the books and mirror but you may not like it. What if you get a bookshelf that is the same color and the mirror fits on it and put door hangers and a nob on the mirror and make it a door for the bookshelf so it's something you use and the mirror is off the floor and can't be knocked over and can still be used to just a idea for you
Clever idea
I used a French cleat on my mirror too. I attached it to the heaviest part of the frame. 👍
It will definitely work if I can figure out how to attach it to the mirror. The frame isn’t flat on the back and I don’t know if I can drill into the backing without breaking the mirror 🥴 it’s a tricky one!
Rather than replacing the side table, I would just put a lace cloth on the top :)
There are slots to screw your power bar to your nightstand, I did this to mine. You could do it behind or on the side against the window wall.
