Step Inside My Bedroom

Posted by Wendy Atterberry

 
So, you guys were so helpful in helping decide what to do with our big wall space over our couch (photos and artwork wins out, which will take forever to complete, but what the hell, life's a work in progress, right?), that I need to enlist your help again. This time I need to you step into my bedroom (photo above). See that pretty antique cherry wood dresser? I inherited that from my grandparents. The not-so-pretty clothes hamper? Inherited that from my boyfriend when I moved in. He swears it was always supposed to be "temporary" until he found something better. Well you know what? It's time to find something better! After the jump, the three choices I've narrowed it down to. Please vote on the best one.

Hamper #1: 

 

[$59.99, Linens 'n Things] 

Hamper #2: 

 

[$39.99, Target] 

Hamper #3: 

 

[$49.99, Sears] 

Now, before you vote, keep in mind the prices as well as the look of each hamper. Also keep in mind that I haven't actually purchased anything from Sears since my first training bra nearly 20 years ago and actually, since my mom purchased that for me (saying it was time to do something about my nipples always poking out), I'm not sure it even counts.

The first one. It looks like one of those baskets from 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' in which Marian hides. And then gets blown up. But then not really.

    • about the blogger

    Alex Zalben is a writer living in New York City. He's written for McSweeney's, Modern Humorist and PulpSecret.com. As one-fifth of the sketch comedy group Elephant Larry, he has been written up in the New York Times, Chicago Tribune, and pretty much every other major publication. Their blog was named one of PC Magazine's Top Blogs for 2007, and they recently won an ECNY Award for their viral short, "Minesweeper: The Movie." Alex did not know love until he bought his first Mac.

    Steph Auteri is a freelance writer and proofreader who has been published in Publishers Weekly, New York Press, Playgirl, and other bastions of fine writing. She maintains a professional site http://www.stephiswrite.com, and also blogs about freelancing over at Freelancedom. You can keep up on her day-to-day by visiting her Twitter page.

    Diana Vilibert is a freelance writer, among other things. Born in Lithuania, she now lives in New Jersey, where she doesn't have to walk to work ten miles in the snow, barefoot, uphill both ways. Diana cannot afford most of the products she writes about because she buys too many pairs of heels to make up for her shoeless childhood. She's written for MarieClaire.com, Janemag.com, and CosmoGIRL!.

    Shaun Seneviratne is a dude just like anyone else. Just your average guy that raps Bone Thugs-n-Harmony to strangers on the subway at 4 a.m., doesn't chew his food because he believes it's a waste of time, and sleeps next to a scale replica of the Ghostbusters headquarters. He can rest easy knowing Egon, Peter, Ray, and Winston have his back. He currently lives in northern New Jersey, plays bass in Rapid Cities, and recently started a tumblr.

    Laureen Mahler is a writer and editor who lives in California, where the sun never sets and everyone rollerskates to work. She coedits Beeswax Magazine and spends the remainder of her time as a freelance writer and letterpresser. She truly believes that someday she will master the ultimate multitask of blogging while letterpressing, though that might mean that she'll need a second pair of arms.
