Gorgeous light! I loved how you mounted the window curtains to accentuate the high ceilings. The sleeping loft solution is ingenious! Julie & Eric Go Vertical Small Cool Contest |

Gray is such a hard color to get right, especially depending on the light your have. After countless samples, I settled on BM's Coventry Gray. It's part of their historical colors collection. Suggestions for a Good Warm Gray Paint? Good Questions |

Congrats on graduating from "teeny-tiny" to "little". I remember how sweet her former home was. (http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/ny/small-cool-2009/small-cool-2009-aka-graces-efficiency-of-mirrors-teenytiny-division-11-081665) I can see how some of the older items (tree fabric, dresser, mirrors, lamps) are re-used in the new space. The colors are cheerful, from the bedroom to the pillows on the couch. I can't tell in the photos, but I do hope the curtains are a happy yellow as in 2009. Joyce's Crafty Side |

if you're in NYC, I've seen the Picardie tumblers at Bowery Kitchen Supply. Love those glasses! Mine are 20 years old and still endure with daily use. Apartment Therapy The Kitchn | Apple Cheddar Turnovers and Duralex Picardie Tumblers Delicious links for 9.3.09 |

Thank you ATers for your comments and suggestions. I'll look into solar or honeycomb shades with sheers across the top. That combination would look tidy and neat on the left window, but I'm thinking that it would look a little messy on the right window because of the door. What do the rest of you think?
