I held off commenting on the porn post, but I'll throw my two cents in here. Many posts don't seem to address the making of a home, but they could if their authors thought about how desire and illness, in these two most recent cases, complicate, enhance, poison, enrich, etc. the meanings we associate with our homes. Specific to this post, it might be interesting to think beyond the circumstance to consider its affect on the spatial dynamics of home life, how life shifts from the kitchen and living room to the bed, etc. I don't want to stifle authors' creativity in what and how they post, but this approach may provide a context that speaks more directly to your audience.

Beautiful kitchen! I love the two-toned cabinets and the natural light. I'm interested in the cabinet manufacture, as well, and what material they used for the flooring.

Any idea where the bathroom sink/vanity came from? It looks like IKEA but maybe not?

I would often sleep in my closet when I was little. I would drag my Jungle-Book themed sleeping bag, pillow, some stuffed animals and a flashlight into my small closet and settle in for the evening. My main motivation was getting out of making my bed, which was perfectly presentable in the morning thanks to my ingenious new sleeping arrangement. But I think I also loved the small space. We also played in closets, and I may have slept over in my cousin's closet once, I'm sure at my prompting. Do it without hesitation. Unless your child is claustrophobic.

Any ideas on who manufacturers the cabinets?

So many things to love about your house! In case you continue to read and respond to posts, can you give me an idea of the dimensions of your kitchen, specifically the size of the island, distance between the island and the cabinets/counter, and the dimensions from the outside edge of the cabinets on the side of the fridge to the wall with the window? Your kitchen design might provide a wonderful template for us... I only wish our bathroom was large enough (and had a window!) to 'borrow' some of your design elements there as well!

And the pocket planters are fantastic.

I, too, am interested in the bathtub featured in the first photo. Any information would be helpful.
