It's hard to tell from the picture what the paint is like but I think a fresh coat of WHITE paint and some long curtains would do wonders. I have a similar style attic bedroom (also one window) and I regret trying to paint it a color (soft purple/grey). The slanted ceilings cast shadows and I feel that bright white is the best way to go. I'm re-paining my room this summer.

If your landlord will let you paint DO IT! I think it's the cheapest way to brighten up a space. Leave the color for the decor.

I think that your best use of the light/space is to place the area that you will be using the most next to the window. That may be the table or sofa or desk, depending on your lifestyle.

Sometimes you can find cool (low) antique wardrobes on line kijiji/craigslist. Something like this -- (if you don't mind some DIY) http://edmonton.kijiji.ca/c-buy-and-sell-furniture-dressers-wardrobes-1950s-solid-wood-wardrobe-W0QQAdIdZ370126738

If you're in Edmonton Hi! This rain sucks!

Love Love Love this room!

dustinstruckmeyer that made me laugh!!

Log. I sleep through my husband’s pager, the dogs barking, pretty much everything. I’ve slept through the night my entire life, even as a premature infant. Although I imagine my sleeping habits might change once we have kids (or so I hear). I also LOVE to sleep, it’s one of my favorite things to do. In bed at 9 pm!

I think these photos are stunning. What an interesting (and intimate) project.

Love everything about this room! Amazing job.

I would love some pictures with the curtains open. I think this is a great project! So excited to hear all about the budget and plans. The comments are awesome - ANNSTARR you made my day :)

I live in Northern Canada and I still do most of my produce and fruit shopping at the Farmers market every weekend. I can get apples from BC during these cold months and I freeze a lot of fruit/berries when they are in season here. We are mighty sick of beets, potatoes and kale by the end of winter but it just makes the spring arrives that much more exciting! I have a small bag of frozen local strawberries in the back of my freezer - I'm waiting for a super cold day to bust them out and surprise the family with milkshakes or something.

I think this nursery is so cool. It's hard to tell but it sort of looks like the mobile isn't actually over the crib??

amazing

Modern Karibou is a Canadian company and you might qualify for free shipping. The Century crib is Canadian made has a non toxic finish and is solid wood. But I wouldn't consider it all that affordable at 900.00. But maybe a place to start your search?
