Love it!! The colors, the quirkiness, the arched mirror, the niches -- did you make those niches?? I'm curious about "the pantry" and the "dressing room" -- I assume the latter is a good sized closet? Could the former hold a small table? Personally, I'd make the "woman cave" my office, although with that light and view, I'd never get anything done. I'd be scared to have a mirror that big above my bed in CA, but I assume you have it wired down securely? I would love to have a gargoyle nest all my own!

Love it! (Or, at least what I can see of it -- I would love to see a few more comprehensive shots that give a sense of the whole space.) Whimsical, but very liveable. Great job! Jason's Charm & Potential Small Cool Contest |

Great colors. Good, clean lines. That rug in front of the sofa looks kind of lonely all by itself. Some closet!! Kathryn's Lucky Location Small Cool Contest |

I took a look at the new pic. Like the trunk in its new place. The chairs look really low for the counter, though. William's Created Illusion Small Cool Contest |

Back in the Olden (pre-internet) Days, I prepared to become a professor of history by amassing the library I might need to teach anything anywhere. I did that for a while and then decided to move on to other things. In the past decade I have sold/donated/given away almost 2,000 books and STILL have hundreds of them for which I have been unable to find good homes. At this point in my life I find physical books more a burden than a blessing. The really important ones, I know almost by heart, and so no longer need them. From the others I've gleaned what I need to know and would willingly part with them. It's a double-edged sword, book-loving, but for myself I've decided that when the time comes to move again, I cannot and will not move more than two boxes of books.

I'll be interested to learn the answer! Years ago I spent a month in a Swiss (Geneva) boardinghouse that provided a tiny duvet (about 3x4 feet) which I never understood how to use -- if you cover your feet, your shoulder is cold; if you cover your shoulder, your feet are cold. I spent the month sleeping in my coat and curled into the tiniest space I could manage. Someone please explain the method here!!! Under the Covers: A Different Look for the Duvet |

It surprises me to find that I really like this room. I don't like chartreuse, but somehow all of this goes together so well that I just want to curl up on the sofa and have a chat. Well-done! Liz's "Retroactive Color" Room |

Oh, my. By now my back would be aching from moving all that furniture around. I agree with many of the comments above. Until you can get a different rug then the one you have would work best in the "nook" of the couch. And, at very least, pull the couch away from the wall.

To me, it looks like where a wall-unit air conditioner used to be in the era before central ac (if you house is that old). Since it just has a plywood backing, I bet it is now a huge escape hatch for heat/air. I would either drywall it (add insulation before doing so) or if you cant do that, fill it with insulation and attach something (chalkboard or art) over it. What To Do With Wall Cubby?

Want one, want one, want one! But could someone tell me how to hang one safely in a traditional woodframe house? Are ordinary wall studs strong enough? What kind of hooks? Or from the ceiling? How do I do it? Outdoor Decor Indoors: Living Room Hammock |
