The rest of my house is nothing to look at but here's the old "magic room" as they call it on MTV's Cribs.

Unfortunately, nothing exciting ever happens in this room except reading books and sleeping. It's a peaceful room.

I garbage picked the wrought iron corner shelf that currently sit in the corner. Some of my Barbie and Indiana Glass Collections are displayed on it. The butterflies on the right side of the mirror are Vintage 1960's Inarco Nylon Ornaments that I picked up for .25 each at an estate sale.
