how about...keep the bed in that corner, but turn it the other way so that you improve access to the patio. put the book shelf at the foot of the bed, and the couch in front of that, so that the bookshelf works as a behind the couch table. move the TV to the short wall where the kitchen pass though is. then you should be able to fit a small table and two chairs where the tv is now.

when framing textiles, there can be a big difference in the look/feel you get from putting it behind glass and framing it without glass. it you are doing a project like this, perhaps try both to see which you prefer. my 2 cents. Display Idea : Framed Quilt Sections |

i have 2 molas (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mola_%28art_form%29) that i stitched onto fabric and put in cheap ready made frames. i sewed a very thin striped grosgrain ribbon along edges of the molas to give them a more finished look. Ideas for Displaying Fabric Samples? Good Questions |

Plants! i would try a tallish, upright houseplant on the right side. Add a shorter, leafier one on the left, with maybe a third smaller one next to it. the marble is a nice, forgiving surface for houseplants, and the graceful lines would help break up the square on square feel of this part of the room.

done a lot of painting--i vote primer, decant into an easy to hold container, barefoot, no tape, use an extension handle, best brush possible, wrap your brushes in plastic, and no drop cloth. i also favor the small, "hot dog" rollers. they don't cover as wide an area with each roll, but the lighter weight allows me to get a lot more done before i get tired out.

the bureau could also be used in the living area. i live in a truly tiny space (one room in a flat) and appreciate having the additional horizontal surface. gives me an extra work surface, and a place to put a vase of flowers. How To Downsize Without Losing Your Mind |

depends. my daughter flew alone from San Francisco to LA and back when she was 5, and chatted up (and no doubt charmed) her seat mates. i would not have foisted her on the flying public when she was 15. When Should a Child Travel Alone? |
