Jealous! What a fabulous use of available space, and I'm sure totally worth the time and effort.

Oh man, I'm so glad you painted. That green! And the bed not only looks much smaller, the color helps it seem less 1970's campy and more upscale. Great improvement.

I'm living in a wee converted attic. There's a window at each end (north and south), two electrical outlets, and wimpy light fixtures. It's tall enough to walk down the center, is freezing in the winter and hot in the summer. Anything that wouldn't fit in a window or the hole for the ladder (my queen bed, regular dresser) didn't fit.

So. It's a quiet little bedroom, and cheap! but that's it.

There are orange sheets on my bed right now! They're my favorite set, the way the reflect the light is so warm and summery and yummy.

I've seen beautiful vintage umbrellas with nice handles and spokes? that just needed new fabric. Maybe someday...

Cute and attainable. Love the doily runner on that table, and I think the measuring stick backsplash is a stroke of genius. Good work.

In a similar vein, for those of us working crappy dayjobs to put themselves through school to become a graphic designer or whatever, there's this site:

When I worked at a floral shop, we would use a 1/4" clear tape (which i've seen at the floral aisle of hobby lobby before) to make a grid across the top of the vase we'd be working in. Just fill your vase, do an x across each way, and depending on how wide the opening is, add additional sections out, making sure not to make them too small or you can't fit enough stems through.

Invisible, fast, and removable.

I've been on the prowl for an old one for ages! Such a lucky find, for such a good deal.

Too too charming for words. Something that small could easily become a hot mess, but this is so pared down and lovely.
