Anyone with a cat drinking from their glass needs a simple carafe. They are kind of fun, too. Mine is from Victorian Trading company, but you can get really simple ones from Amazon, too.

Jordan, mirrors will reflect the light of the little window and act as faux windows. Lots of DIYers are using small square mirrors with little pieces of wood trim to fake window panes and transom windows.

lyrastar, what about some sort of removable film on the window glass itself?

You know, when we lived in housing where we could not paint anything we used to adhere fabric to the walls with liquid starch - maybe you could find a fabric you like and adhere it to the window itself rather than a curtain?

You know! I just may do that myself in my basement!!

Claire - Try JCPenney, no joke. They have cotton sheets like grandma had/has... Try one of their JCPenney Home (brand name) 300 thread count sheet sets.

Wash with borax and add vinegar to the rinse - these things will make them even softer and nicer..

Good luck with the husband. No side table will fix it. It will just become full and the stuff will still be all over. At our house we are both guilty of this. :) If you figure out how to solve that one write a book and become wealthy!

How about a mirrored piece to mimic the window and give you some balance on that wall?

You can likely get trim at a hardware store to match or complement the window.

I have register deflectors like this one to solve the floor vents right under the window issue... why do builders INSIST on doing this? Do none of them have curtains/drapes?
