I have what is practically the same chair. I've been wanting to cover the cushions in a similar grey twill to match my couch. Great job

I am a FIRM believer in buying quality vs purchasing multiple junk items throughout a lifetime. Heirloom quality is always better than the latter. We live in a disposable world and if you cant take care of something you buy, you dont deserve to have nice things... Even on a tight budget nice belongings are within reach, you just have to know how to pick and choose.

@Sylwia
It's clearly a built-in... The "credenza feet" you're seeing in the picture is a metal bed frame.

@miranar
I agree, the space feels staged and is lacking the comfort of personal items and memories.

I personally like the bed in front of window however, I would have hung large drapes, floor to ceiling, wall to wall, thus providing the option to open or close but also soften the hardness of the room and add height.

Overall good job!

A jute rug would be kid friendly, right?

I suggest first using a NON TOXIC fence/deck cleaner -

I agree that you should use stain instead of paint for maintenance reasons. The end result will be more natural than paint because the wood texture will remain.

I also agree on using a dark grey color stain. Grey is a color that goes with everything. It is a color that often appears in nature and will make other colors you put in the space POP. It is modern and sophisticated but is subtle enough to not overpower.

The great thing about stainless steel is you can put it directly over your existing tiles without adding too much material thickness. This is good because you wont have to change the depth of your existing outlets and switches.

How To Separate Bedroom from Living Area in Studio? Good Questions

Floor to ceiling curtains. Ikea has the DIGNITET system -http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/60075295/ used in conjunction with the DIGNITET corner fixture -http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/40078030/

I used white bed sheets and hung them from the curtain cable using the RIKTIG clips from Ikea. Its all really inexpensive to put together and softens the space while making everything cozy and intimate.
