Home Corners
For those of you who just come here for the smut (including my own Master!), here, have another pic from the other night:
For those who come here for KITTY LOVE:
Am made a funny about our cats. She’s as much of an LOLCat lover as I am and she pointed out that we have Ceiling Cat and Basement Cat, which I knew. But did I also know we have Agnostic Cat? Yeah, she just can’t decide, she has a little of both in her. *snicker*
Now shoo. I’m about to get really boring. ;-)
There’s a couple of bloggers I read who do occasional posts titled Home Corners. I really like those posts because, while I certainly enjoy the smut and filth, I just like to see how people live. It adds a “realness” to them, I think. I see a pic of someone’s house and I feel closer to them than if I see a pic of their tits. Master said I can post “whatever I want” (/quote) so I am.
While I was putting clothes away this morning and tidying up the bedroom, I figured that was a good place to start. You’ve already seen the bed so why not the rest of the bedroom. If you’ve no interest in seeing boring pictures of my dressers, don’t go any further.
One of the (many many) sacrifices that came along with being His was my personal decorating style. I am your typical girly-girl. In my p.m. days (p.m. = pre-Master, tee hee) when decorating my own house, I leaned towards flowers and pink, lace doilies, frilly curtains, ruffles and swags and pastel colors. I hated earth tones. I hated brown especially. Black and deep reds were dreary, tans were boring, green was ‘pukey’. I liked violet, and periwinkle, fuschia. And flowers. Did I mention flowers? The bigger the better. I don’t think I had anything sitting anwhere that didn’t have a doily under it.
*sniffle* Come to think of it, I miss my doilies.
There were two styles of decor that made me shudder; Oriental and indian/animal. I had a baby blue country goose kitchen and a victorian/flower/lace bedroom and pink/lace/swag bathroom – my, it was purty.
Along with giving up access to other favorites, like music and tv, I had to give up my interior design tastes. Master forbids ‘girlification’. He likes manly-man shades and textures. He likes Oriental stuff. He likes wolves and eagles. He likes brown.
So while He’ll tell me that I have free reign to decorate and even hand me the credit card and tell me to go wild, I can only go wild within the parameters He’s laid down. The kitchen? Black and white with deep red accents. Living room? Oriental all the way. There’s even an oil painting of a geisha on the wall. Main bathroom? Hunter green and cream. Bedroom? Brown and wolves.
You might think that I walk through the house gagging or that I despise every single room. But that’s not how it ended up at all. When I walk into the bedroom and I’m assaulted with every shade of brown imaginable, with wolf pictures and plates, even one painted on a huge velvet dream catcher-indian-type-feathered wall hanging, and all I can smell is the lingering scents of His cologne, I’m not thinking “God I HATE this room!”. I’m thinking this is HIS room. This color, this smell, that picture, that bed. It’s His. It does not have my stamp on it, it’s not *me*, it’s not mine. It becomes kind of a daily reminder of not being an equal, not having say in things, and I like it. I like that I don’t like it, if that makes sense. I like that He doesn’t care. And so I take even better care of it than I think I would if it were pink frills and all mine.
I’m not sure I’m explaining this well or doing justice to what it is I feel. Maybe it’s not something that can be expressed (by me anyway).
Anyway, behind the cut is my first “home corners” post. Bedroom and drawers. :-)
Clicky-click for a larger view if’n you wanna.
The dresser. That jewelry box is the only girly thing in the room. That, and a hope chest, are the only two items that Master’s allowed me to keep from my p.m. days.
Top of the other dresser. Notice the wolves.
Master’s night stand.
My night stand. We read a lot in bed. :-)
The master bathroom. There’s a shower behind the door but I didn’t think you’d care to see the shower. I have some wallpaper border to put up in there. It’s green.
Master is very particular about His clothes and how they are put away. When I do laundry, there is a distinct difference in how I fold and put away mine and the kids’ clothes, compared to how I do His. Every time I fold His underwear I think to myself how I only fold His underwear and nobody elses. Weird, I know.
This belt? Not one He wears. Guess what it’s for. ;-)
His work/everyday socks. Seperated by length and color.
Dress socks. Organized by color/pattern.
Undershirts. Seperated by color of course.
Master’s side of the closet. It’s hard to tell but the clothes are lined up starting with His suit (that’s behind the wall), neckties, dress slacks, button down solid color shirts, button down patterned shirts, long-sleeve business casual, short-sleeve polo/business casual, and t-shirts. And of course His shoes (He has more shoes than I do. One cannot wear the same pair of brown or black dress shoes every day. One needs several styles in each color. La-di-da. ;-) )
Okay I be done.

The OCD me was nodding when looking at the pictures with the organized clothing. Our closets look similar!
I really enjoyed this post. I thinking of doing one like this too if allowed. :)
Yay! I hope you can post it. I wanna peek in your world. :-)
Also….squeeeeeeee…kitties!!!
Oh, squeee! I’m going to do this, if I’m allowed, as soon as we have … well, bookshelves. I doubt anyone would like to see the huge pile of plastic and paperbags and movingboxes that are now stored in Master’s bedroom. Nor the big pile of laundry, books and a mop that’s on the side of my bed. *sigh*
One cannot organize, if there’s nowhere to put what’s organized!
Btw, are cats’ back claws strong enough to puncture a thick, plastic blowup bed? I sleep in one and we’re considering getting either a Himalayan Persian (youtube!) or a Selkirk Rex. Front claws I’ll cut, but I haven’t cut back claws before… *thinking*
Himalayan Persian kittens are teh evul!!1!!11!!!:

Gosh, I dunno. I mean, I suppose a cats back claws are strong enough to puncture it (maybe) but I don’t think it *would*. As a general rule, they don’t use their back claws for much except climbing/defending so if you mean just by walking on it, or playing around, would it pop it? I’d say no way, not a chance.
Thanks. I just wasted about 30 min. watching cat clips on youtube..LOL
Hmm… well, it is rather thick. I was more thinking of jumping off it (it’s like kneehigh for me, and I’m 5″5′) or running and jumping off. I’ve got three pretty claw shaped scars after a cat took off from my bare leg… I’d given him medicine – who makes CAT medicine with LEMON flavour anyway?! – and he wanted to get away from me. Why I was giving medicine while nude, I can’t remember, though. *scratches head* Shtoopid.
I think it’ll hold anyway. Back claws are strong, but not very sharp as such, in my experience. Nah, I think it’ll be fine as long as I don’t get a Main Coon. ;)
30 minutes? I’ve wasted three days now! *giggle* But aren’t they cuuuuuute?!
You cut back claws by swinging the cat up and holding it with its belly up like a baby. Then the second person trims the now easily reachable back claws.
I SEE STEPHANIE PLUM! I have ALL of them, and I’m re-reading Four to Score at the moment.
And I totally win at a completely non-related comment.
I was reading them one at a time and having to wait until Master decided I’d ‘earned’ the next one. But I must have been especial-good because the last time we went to the store, He picked up all of them through 13. *beams*
Why is there a little pink pig under your bed-side table?
I wish my Master was hyper-organized. Mine is a … well, it would never do to call one’s Master a slob, so I guess “organizationally-challenged” will have to do! Sometimes I do feel dispair that I will never be able to maintain our apartment in the neat and clean way that I would prefer (and which he doesn’t mind, at all, but will not contribute to, except in big studly projects, like putting up shelves. He’ll put the shelves up … but he won’t put anything on them!)
I know what you mean about giving up one’s decorating preferences. I have pretty masculine tastes, so many of my suggestions were used, but there were some very frustrating moments when we first moved in together! Basically, while he didn’t mind my input on the paint colors (because I suggested things like ox-blood trim in the bathroom, and a cream and burgundy and black bedroom, and a “shades of gray” kitchen) my posters and other art were mostly unwelcome on the walls. It really hurt my feelings at the time, but now I’m very content with it. In the first place, he does have much better art than I did, so parts of the house look a bit like a museum, and then of course, there’s that wonderful feeling of being one of your Master’s possesions, in a house full of his other possessions!
He did let me have one room to decorate as I saw fit. One day, when I get this place to a point where I’m not embarrased for strangers to see it, I’ll do a “Home Corners” post — just for you, kaya! :D
Because I am the pig. ;-)
It’s a piggy bank actually. And it lights up and makes oinky noises when you put money in it.
I hope you do post pictures! I wanna see them.
Then there’s shirts for you! ;)

Okay — pictures, someday! I’m actually spending the day cleaning today … we’ll see how far I manage to go! :D
Squee! You’re reading Janet Evanovich! I love the Stephanie Plum books :)
The wolves look gorgeous, btw.
Thank you. :-)
Oh wow, it’s so organized! I’ll show M these pictures when he gets home and see if that method of organization would be cool with him.
Is that a piggy bank under your end table?
It is! And it lights up and oinks at you when you put money in it. :D
After seeing those pics, I need to rethink my submissive leanings and get me a slave!
jess
LOL
OGOD Kitties! Ohgod organization! -swoon- I LOVE WOLVES AND ORGANISATION AND EARTH-TONES. But then again I’m a lot like my stepdad. Did you know I read your blog because you two remind me of my parents? Except my mom LOVES D&D. The ONLY difference besides appearance.
Soooo.. are your parents kinky? ;-)
Yes. I have found my mom’s nipple clamps (those nasty little plastic ones that look harmless) and when we visited her for Christmas, she offered my ex and Master handcuffs for easier tickle-ability. -sigh- -_-’ I don’t know exactly how kinky they are, but I will leave that up to my little innocent imagination. What actually compelled me is the stories of your childhood, since I know she had a very similar past.
My God that’s way too much orginization for me. That kind of detail is the sign of a very sick mind you know. ( But you knew that didn’t you ?) As if you wern’t already a very favorite person
to begin with, you has a pig. Now that’s cool. This from someone who is married to a pig collector with over 1400 of them ! I do like the night stands, dresser and the “wall of mirror”. Always
enjoy another view of the action.
I think His sick mind is what I love the most. ;-)
That wall of mirrors is awful. LOL. Not only is keeping it clean and streak free damn near impossible, it shows me naked from every angle. *shudder*
:P
The fact that you know about celing cat and basement cat takes you to a whole new level of awesomeness.
Also, I loved this little peek into your world! ;)
I am teh LOLCat’s biggest fan. :D
I wish I had that kind of time – we aren’t slobs or cluttered just not color or size coordinated in dressers or closets.
I do wish I had that kind of time, I like doing that for him – but it never lasts long around here.
cute kitties!
Thanks. :-)
I only have this time because He gives it to me. I know if I were working full time, things probably would not look like that at all. Least not all the time.
I have that same wolf picture!! I don’t have it up yet though. Still unpacking from six months ago…sigh. Oh well, other things come first.
amanda
Bah. I’m still unpacking too. I procrastinate something awful.
O
My
God
I am SO never posting a picture of our bedroom closet NOW!
Shit. That was me up there.
Sinn
I want to see your closet!!
I am indeed a very lucky cunt. Thanks! :-)
I do like what you had to say about your style versus his style.
I am just now after fifteen years of marriage moving to a more overtly dominant stance and also putting saturated rich mediterranean COLOR on the walls. I have a lovely golden bedroom. I have a sea turquoise blue office. A red kitchen. But I love it and it is right for me and for us. How you decorate your space has a lot to do with how you live.
Exactly. I know for me it seems very BIG, even though it may not seem like a huge sacrifice. Maybe to someone else it wouldn’t be. *shrug*
He has put way too much thought into his clothes…of course I am a slob whose fashion sense has been declared dead, so what do I know???
It’s interesting though, yanno? I know that before He had me He didn’t maintain this level of organization. Nor does He insist that I keep my own clothes organized that way. In fact, my drawers and my side of the closet aren’t nearly as seperated and categorized as His is. I think it’s not so much that He’s anal retentive (though He is anal retentive, fer real) but that He’s simply utilizing me as much as He can.
Or something.
yeah thats it – M isn’t utilizing me – duh, slaps forehead…
actually I’m the one who works, he is retired – so somehow this wouldnt quite work for me after a 50 hour week.
and he isn’t going to do it – if his stuff is washed by sunday, hung up and folded he is a happy camper.
??
Um, I guess they all want something different. Maybe it’s me but you’re sounding kind of defensive here. Ain’t nobody suggesting that you should be utilized in any way beyond what your M wants. I suppose if Master wanted me to work 50 hours a week outside the house, He’d have to give up His laundry rules. *shrug*
so organized, so precice, so clean…
i so need a slave like you
i love seeing chaos brought to order (i color code my shirts, and all my socks are an order to follow).
so… what’s in your little piggy?
(oh, don’t forget to stop by my blog, i’m extending my HNT contest and extra week)
LOL.. money is in there! What else? ;-)
I’ll stop on by!
hehehe, i suppose that question was a bit obvious.
guess i was just wondering if it was a sort of “punishment piggy.” you know, if you screw up, you have to put your allowance in the piggy or something. then when it’s full you have to spend the whole piggy buying something for your master.
(if that’s not what it’s for, then i want to claim this as my idea, cause it’s awsome!)
I think I remember reading something from lily about decorating her Master’s house, and about her being just another of his possessions in said house.
Anyway, makes sense to me. -grin- It was something Esteban and I talked about after I’d read what lily wrote, as a matter of fact. (He liked the idea.) Looking around now, though, I wonder how much of my stuff I’d actually be willing to part with.
Maybe it’s all about the Influence. -snicker-
Cute kitties and OMFG is Sir OCD or what??? I’d go nuts, even if I WAS trained in the Art of Underwear Folding by the ex/hubby! -cheeky grin-
Anyway, procrastination time is over. Anther Shopping Day is upon me. -sigh-
And that was me, in case ya couldn’t tell. Logged out AGAIN!
….
WTF was I thinking when I gave myself that password?? -headdesk-
I dunno but change mine too! Damn thing is a bitch to type..LOL
You can change yours. I don’t even remember what I set it to! :P
I lust after the organization. And the time….
The Gent wants me to have that level of organization, in part because he doesn’t and so will require it of me to create that for him.
I haven’t found that yet, though. I think that it is at least in part due to the fact that it’s really hard to go to work, and have other involvements while trying to make “house slave” my first priority.
Of course, the other half of it is that it is that I have no idea what to do with some of the stuff he leaves laying around…it’s HIS after all, I don’t want to do something wrong with it.
Thanks for the cleaning inspiration!
daddy’s undies are the only ones i fold too. i just don’t need to fold mine, but his are all nice and neat and sorted by type. funny.
What’s the story with the little pink piggy bank? I bet it says “Not by the hair of my chinny chin chin” alot with all those wolves around. heheh :)
You know that first picture is beautiful. I think it’s one of my favourite pictures of you and it really doesn’t have anything to do with what you’re doing.
