I love flannel sheets but nothing tops fleece. So warm and cozy - it's hard to get up in the morning. :-)

Another great resource for bedding is Aletta Smit. The one thing I particularly like about them is that you can customize your own sheet sets and solid duvet covers which makes it so much easier to coordinate with wall color and other decor. Not sure if they're running any sales at the moment, but their regular prices are actually quite reasonable.

Great list! Thanks - this is something I really need to do too!

Great list! I always refer to myself as a designer decorator on a novice budget. One site that I love that didn't make your list is Aletta Smit. I recently had some bedding made to order to match my bedroom re-do, and was thrilled to have the ability to design my own bedding without breaking the bank. Can't say enough about them!

I love the brilliant colors! I just re-did my bedroom and found an awesome site online where you can actually order custom made bedding, so I was able to grab some bright colors and coordinate them perfectly with my room.

What a great idea! It looks just as festive, if not more because of its uniqueness. Thanks!

It's really hard to tell without being able to see more of the room, but you might consider hanging a pendant light instead of a chandelier. It's more modern and if you buy through Alluminare, you can customize the patter and colors to match your room. I think pendants are much better for "warming" a room's decor than chandeliers.

I love the quaintness of the home, and the colors are very inviting. The only thing I might change is the light fixture in the pantry. I'd replace it with a more modern pendant light that played on a combo of the yellow walls and the multi tile.

Way too busy for my taste. And it desperately needs color.

Very cool. I love floor pillows, and I definately rocked the bean bag chair back in the day. :-)

I've seen the commercial dozens of times. My favorite part is at the end when they show a horse and buggy riding away with one of the fireplaces. I always think to myself, it's a good deal, but the shipping must take FOREVER. :-)

Have you considered maybe using wall sconces and getting rid of the lamps to free up some space and add a warmer feel to the room? And I'd definately get some nice drapes to hang in the window as well. It's very cute and cozy looking, and has a lot of potential.

Very cool. I found this one and I think I like it, but it also kind of reminds me of a cheese grater. :-)

Oh my, I just love the contrast of the different size, colors and patterns of the drawers. What an interesting piece of furniture.

I love the color, but I'm really not a huge fan of big blank walls. I think I'd like to see maybe a wall sconce or a mirror to break it up a bit.
