A Growing Pile of Do-It-Later

Do you have that extra piece of furniture in your room? You know the one. In most of my bedrooms it’s been a chair. Once it was a desk, and another time just the top of my dresser, but it’s always there. In this bedroom, it’s my bed.

Under that picture is the end of my daybed, with a railing high enough to hold all that stuff even when I slide my feet under it in the night.

I like a neat bedroom. Especially with my writing desk in here, I spend a lot of time in this room. It needs to be comfort...
