A really gorgeous and well thought-through (and executed!) room.

Congratulations to you and may you take the bedroom cake!

fizzfizz - Absolutely still answering questions, thanks for asking : )

The landscape painting above the dresser (hung low, it's true - it's my husband's tall dresser and wanted to be sure I could see it as well) is by an amazing woman named Joellyn Duesberry (http://www.joellynduesberry.com/index/), a friend of my mother's who sometimes painted at our house.

Thanks for all the comments so far and bring on more questions!

best, Courtney

Thanks everyone!

And in answer to:
jennysilentg and diny - the paint is Farrow+Ball Skylight
RumAGoGo - can totally see how the figure might be creepy for some but it's a sentimental favorite with the loveliest face (not at all scary). It's a santos figure from the Philippines and I dress it for holidays...
LauraMason - good point on the photos - sorry not to have captured the hooks - which are on the door and along the walls leading to the closet. The closet itself is really not part of the actual room, and more functional than pretty, so didn't warrant a picture (I thought).

Thanks again!

Courtney

Another type of furniture with multiple small drawers is the apothecary cabinet. Also goes by: "pharmacists" or "herbal" or "herb" or "medicine" cabinet and seems to exist in many cultures. I have one from India which I use to store teas (in the drawers) - (shown http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=587191077962316&set=a.587163887965035.145047.570388752975882&type=1&theater ).
There's a whole range of sizes, styles, origins (China, Korea, Europe...) and a HUGE range of prices on 1stDibs if you search "apothecary".
Added bonus - my 3-year old son can spend hours opening and closing the drawers...
