Daybed with a good memory foam mattress is a good use of space and will last the wear and tear of everyday use. Check out the indonesian day bed at world market.com it's an outdoor piece, so it's durable. It's also an exotic choice and gorgeous. Choose colors that you LOVE for the ceiling as well as the walls. Go neutral on walls and dramatic on the ceiling. Accent with great unique light fixtures to add interest, too.

the felt bench is very interesting-- felt is SO versatile, indoors and out! I love the velcro chandelier, but mostly b/c it's always fun to reinvent use of material.

Love the idea of bold in a powder room- I think they're little jewel boxes. Your guests always remember big impact in small space.

i'm lamenting all the hours I poured into these project boards in my days as a fledgling designer years ago. Oh, the papercuts I could have avoided! Just tried my mouse at my first olioboard here: http://tinyurl.com/28m46dj

So your overall look is classic-- Got it!

Beyond sticking to one metal only (gold or brass) and ditching the benches, have you considered a rich color for your front door? A front door is the perfect place to give the outside world a hint of what you're all about.

Traditional/Sophisticated: Heritage Red- a very popular red for front doors
Mysterious/Deep: Grappa 1393- A plum-black that's surprising
Creative/Stylish: Mexicana 2172-30- a terra inspired color that can accent the brick fashionably

This is so imaginative! I love the clustering of similar and simple objects. It reminds me of a dining design by David Stark for Benjamin Moore's DIFFA table last year. David is just as obsessed over the potential of a paint chip, he says.
Here's the Apartment Therapy blog on the event-
