Furniture Post - Dresser

One of the biggest pains of living in the dorms, then moving cross-country and starting real life is that I started with almost no furniture. Luckily, my parents are going through their post-children reimagining of their home, so they were happy to give me few pieces of furniture. But one thing I was left without is a dresser.

So after 7 1/2 months of keeping my clothes in wire baskets on the floor (thanks to my sister for lending me the baskets!), I finally buckled down and bought myself a dresser! Well, parts of a dresser. 

I bought this one from Ikea:

Here is the space I had for it:

I wish I had taken a picture of my haphazard organizational system that this dresser is replacing, but here's an idea of how much stuff was hanging around:

A work in progress...

Aaand voila!

Finally, I feel like I live in my bedroom! I took the opportunity to finally unpack a couple of lingering boxes, and it's amazing how therapeutic it can be to just move things around. It's like I had a little bit of spring cleaning in preparation for the fall. Have you done any fall cleaning?
