This is how our bedroom is - its for me and DH. No pictures of the kids - no toys. I also don't have a TV - if you want to watch TV then go to the living room.

That's not to say the kids cant come in on Saturday with a toy and lay in bed with us - but once we are up for the day the toy leaves.

Confession: we are probably weirdos, but we don't have pictures of our kids hanging on the walls anywhere, with the exception of one photo, and it's only one of our 2 kids (I should probably get at least one photo of the other kid hung up somewhere ). And I take tons of pictures of my kids, so it's not like we are lacking in that department.

Our apartment setup is also a little different than what is probably standard. My home office is in a nook in our bedroom and in the nook I have a few art prints, but in the bedroom part of the bedroom, we don't have any pictures or prints at all, just white walls. Our bedroom also opens up into the living room (with just a door, no hallway or separation) so people walk through our bedroom all the time. We do keep our bedroom toy free, but occasionally on weekends toys will spill over from the living room, but they are all gone by the time the kids go to bed.

@youboots: I find it relaxing, but I also love white walls. Well, never say never, but for now, probably not.

There are no toys or TV in the master. I do have some family photos scattered around the house, and the master is no exception.

Since there is no TV in there, we don't linger, so there really is no reason for it to be a retreat, if we're in there, we're sleeping or sick.

There's nothing in our bedroom besides clothes and bed. We co-sleep but there has never been toys our TV in our room. We do believe that bedroom is for sleep; our house isn't big so it's not a big chore to go somewhere else for what you need!

We don't have a TV in our bedroom and there are no toys in there either. We never hang out in there with kids.

Toys drive me crazy, but they sneak in. It's a priority to remove them asap! I always said the bed would just be for DH and me... but all four of us wind up in there most nights -- oops! I don't mind, but it could be more peaceful.

There's kid clothes in our room because we fold laundry in here and there's a lot of nursing related detritus laying about. We also keep the baby's changing pad in here bc it's easier to change him on top of DH's dresser. But our bedroom mostly off limits to the boys. There's just too much dangerous junk in here between all the cords and cables from our phones and baby monitor and lamps and the drugs from the bathroom and the toilet and tub and shower and under the sink cabinets. We occasionally snuggle the boys in our bed like after bath or something but really it's an off limits space and they know that. We don't cosleep and we move our kids to a separate sleep space after the itty bitty stage so they aren't attached to it anyway. We have no TV in here and just a large wedding photo above our bed.

we have a soothing color on the wall, a giant painting that i did which is hypnotic, some wedding pictures....and thats about it.. I've really tried to go minimal in there with no crap lying around. We do have a TV but thats for sick days in bed with Peppa. We don't use it otherwise.
I only have one framer of LO in there.. its a small outtake from a 6 month photo shoot we did...shes screaming. It just makes me smile before I get in bed, oddly. Since life isn't picture perfect but i know we're doing a pretty darn good job.

We keep it uncluttered and have a rule the bedroom is only for sleeping. We don't really go in it during the day - the door stays shut - and no electronics.

We have a small TV room we made very cozy with lots of toys and blankets, and that is where we all hang out together instead.

No tv in our bedroom and no toys either. We have a few kid books in there and we do have a couple of pictures of our LO on our dresser. Nothing you can see from the bed though if that makes a difference

It is generally very clean and clutter free in there, but we don't spend any time in there except for sleeping.

We don't have photos in our room at all.

We got rid of our TV 8 years ago to maintain a "sacred, intimate" space. I'm really happy with that choice.

I do let LO crawl in the bed in the morning if she wants, but otherwise our door is closed during the day, and it's definitely a toy-free zone.

We roomshared for 10+ months, but I still felt like the space was ours ... our life at that time really did revolve around our tiny baby, so I didn't feel that her presence made our marriage any less connected.

We have art but no photos at all. Our bedroom is a toy free zone- sometimes one child will bring a lovey in with them when they come to hang out or nap with me but it goes with them when they leave. It's also the only room in the house that I keep tidy/ bed made/ dusted at all times so I can have a grownup retreat. I love to have the girls in there for snuggles but the big one knows she is absolutely not allowed to make a mess in there.
