This looks great, but a $249 floor pouf is not a "budget" purchase in my world.

I agree with the other suggestions; also, don't take down the blinds-- having blinds and curtains together will block more light.

Lots of stores, Ikea included, sell heavy curtains designed specifically to block out light.

@Yonella, what is a floor cloth exactly? I just googled it and it seems to be a big piece of canvas... am I missing something? I'd think it would slide around on carpet; is it heavy enough to stay put?

I just realized the Flor tiles aren't supposed to be installed over existing carpet, so scratch that suggestion.

Ikea actually has pretty nice solid wood kitchen islands; I have one that's a version of this one: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/80035920/ They're easy to paint or stain, and they show up on Craigslist a lot (that's where I bought mine). If you're handy, you could install a hinged drop leaf and get bar height stools for sitting at it; otherwise it might be better just to get an island with a built-in dropleaf. For underneath I'd either use AT's beloved Flor tiles, a sturdy woven rug, or a rug in a natural fiber like jute.

I really, really want to make this.
I have no children.
Are children necessary for this project?

To unwrinkle your cat, simply spray with water and allow to air dry.
