I had the same problem. Menards has this great track system. You can mount it in a few ways, but what I found best for my window situation, which is the same as yours, is to use dry wall anchors to mount the tracking to the ceiling. I ended up using two tracks to span the window, with them meeting in the middle. Check out the link, there are a variety of colors and sizes on the website, and you can order them online as well. The link calls them "tension rods", they are not, although there are tension rods available by the same company U Design. http://www.menards.com/main/window-treatments/drapery-hardware/u-design-single-universal-track-3-4-diameter-pole/p-1341073-c-9260.htm

I either had this book as a kid or maybe it was featured on Reading Rainbow or something. But just to be safe I will be scavenging the Parent's basement this weekend.

I'm thinking galvanized. Go for a rustic theme in your bathroom, get a cool burlap shower curtain to go over the plastic one, and stick a galvanized bathtub in there!

Thanks for all the great comments! I am so excited this got posted. I could only post 5 pictures, sorry I couldn't give more of a feel of the layout of my space.

Q/A:
Bust - Family Antique
Couch - Craigslist (no label)
Functional folding chair above the bed... YES
The bed/bench are made from shipping pallets (with canvas stapled over top)
Curtains - Made them myself
Bowl full of... croquet balls
Desk chair - found on the curb, no joke (Montgomery Ward)

Thank you so much for all the great comments! - Kyle

Craigslist! Get a fun couch on the cheap, and if it isn't just right you are only out a couple hundred... if that!

Beautiful! I love all the original ideas, the cooking utensil holder built into the counter, the medicine cabinets. So many slip covers!

That last picture is very reminiscent of Room Raiders (black light test). I think I'll pass.

Unfortunately I was not persuasive enough with my landlord, who will not let me be tearing down walls anytime soon. Which is now even more depressing seeing that you all agree with me to do it! Maybe I should foreword her the link to this page!
