I like what other posters have said about moving the bed (if possible) to face the fireplace or a window. Blik (www.whatisblik.com) makes very cool wall decals that I'm anxious to try. You could create your own mural behind the bed, and remove it later very easily.
I also agree with other comments that you should find bedding that you love first. That will likely be harder to find and you can customize to match! Good luck!

@Jess L. - I feel the need to second your problem of paper clutter! It feels good to admit.
We have very recently updated our home office with more storage, and I'm excited to start a system. For me, clutter is anything that interrupts the flow of our home: when my eye travels around a room and stops too many times on odd interruptions, piles, or items out of place. Also, we're basically lazy (as humans, and me and my family!) I think to myself TOO OFTEN "I'll deal with it later," "I'll put it away later," etc. Then all of a sudden, later builds into an enormous crescendo of anxiety attack of clutter! :-) We definitely all have clutter, we just all define it differently!

I love the headboard idea, and the "put a reading nook beneath them" idea! I vote for keeping them. I can envision great kid artwork beneath them, gallery style. The shelf piece above the window feels claustrophobic to me, so if you're dying to whack a hammer at them, I say saw that piece off from the rest and go to town!

i'm in love with all aspects of this cozy home, and especially the plants at the window of the kitchen sink! could you tell us more about how you hung them, what materials were used, etc? (also, are the neighbors that close or is that your fence?!) this has to be the most clever way to bring the outdoors in that i've ever seen!
