I love this store! They deserve all the attention they can get. :)

I love Toasted Oatmeal. It's on my walls right now, and I am definitely buying another can for my next place.

It's funny to see some of the more unusual names on the list and recognize where they came from.

"Tanaquil" is the heroine of a fantasy trilogy by Tanith Lee. (Watch Tanith become popular soon.) "Ogden" is clearly attached to Nash, the poet. And "Casimir?" Someone's been listening to too much Sufjan Stevens.

That couch is a great shade of grey! Where did you find it?

Oh, I love the fireplace! The only thing I'd do is trim down the hearth to just the fireplace column and try to save the front facade to add back on when you get it down to the size you want. It'd be much less dominant and imposing that way.

A nice L-shaped sectional (bones like this with a right arm) tucked up under the window, a TV on the opposite wall (if glare isn't a problem), a lovely rug, coffee table, and a nice chair in the far corner. Perhaps a small bookshelf in one of the unoccupied nooks, and you'd have a nice little living room. Same idea without the TV and more chairs, a welcoming sitting room.

As for the styles not matching, I really enjoy the surprise of it after walking through the door. Then again, I'm a fan of rustic juxtaposed with more modern lines. If that's not your style, do what makes you happy.

Seriously, someone's going to have to hold me back. I'm totally buying this if I don't win.

Not sure about measurements, but here goes.

Try the bed up against the north wall, with the head on the west wall. You could probably get a full. Maybe then you could construct an wall-mounted L-shaped desk that takes up the southwest corner and extends to the bed, functioning as craft center/study space depending on the section (CC with suspended shelving on the south wall, studying desk on the west). The end near the bed could be supported by shelves for a proper nightstand/supply storage. Put the TV plus its stand at the end of the bed. The bike can go up against the east wall. Then, you can angle the TV to watch while you bike.
