I really love that throw, where is it from?
The room looks great. Funny how decorative details and accessories totally transform a space.

I lived in Hohefels Germany from 94-96 and loved it there! We spent most of our weekends shopping around Regensburg. Having passed through Amberg numerous times, it is so nice to see your post and reminisce. We're hoping to win the lottery so we can get back for a visit! I would love to see more pictures as well. Hope you're having fun!

hollyann - That is hilarious, yet at the same time, horrific! Sorry you had to find that out the hard way. Like mermaidblue, I used contact paper. The 'clear' contact paper is more like frosted glass, you get light but no real definition. It sticks well and can easily be replaced if a corner loses adhesion. I know stores also sell the spray frost but I haven't tried it.

I would check your local hardware store for pipes/plumbing fixtures. Build a solid base and you would just need to top it off with maybe an old wooden door or some wood slats joined together. Doesn't seem like it would be difficult to replicate the look and it would probably be a lot of fun.

I love it. I definitely could live there. I don't see a bathroom or kitchen though and that would be a problem!

Wow - simple - but very impressive laundry room. That really puts mine to shame!

My family of 4 live in a 3 br. 1,350 sq. ft. house. I think it is on the small side. We have a dining area but not an eat in kitchen, so the dining area serves as our everyday eating spot. It's 10 ft. by 10 ft. holds a 6 seater table and a server. Thankfully we have 2 full bathrooms - I don't know how we would've worked around that with 2 teenagers. We have a 10 ft. by 10. ft. den and an 11 ft. by 15 ft. living room. Each of the bedrooms have closets that are 4 ft. wide and 2 ft. deep. It has not been fun sharing closet space with my husband and neither of us own a tremendous amount of clothes or shoes. It is comfortable with 12 people in the house but can hardly be pushed to 20 - unless it's elbow to elbow. We've lived here for almost 12 years and I don't think I could live anywhere smaller unless it was temporary. But - I wouldn't want anything much bigger either. Curious as to what everyone else lives in...

The canvas above the bed is described as blue, but looks black in the photo. I happen to like the visual weight it adds above the bed, almost like an extension of the headboard. I especially love the fabric of the duvet cover and would like to know what it is and where it's from. The bar cart also caught my eye.
