What a wonderful room! I would have loved that as a kid (even now I would love it actually...) Mary's Childhood Bedroom House Call \| Apartment Therapy Chicago Flag this comment	1/28/10 12:20 PM
This is a big let down. The price is too high, the name is horrible, and I don't want to tote a large iphone that can't run Flash. They really need to work on that. I'm not sure who they are targeting besides the people who always have to have the latest thing regardless of how bad or good it is. Come on Jobs! You can do better than this!

What about track curtains mounted on the inside of the straight edge framing the bow window? When open they could be pushed to the side, when closed it would mask the bow window and roman shades and provide privacy. Window Covering Ideas for a Large Bow Window?

For starters, its a gorgeous entryway with lots of potential! Congratulations on such a great purchase! As far as Benjamin Moore paints go I really love the Pottery Barn colors they collaborate on. Colors I can see in this space would be berber white(955) or Nantucket Breeze(521). These colors are light but earthy without being drab. I would NOT paint the trim. However, I think the fireplace could look awesome with a coat of clean paint. I would think an offwhite or a grey that is so light it almost looks white to an undiscerning eye.

What I would do, and it will require custom curtains which could be pricey if you aren't a sewer yourself. I would mount a long rod that runs from edge of the window to edge and mount it above the highest point of the window. I would then hang two set of curtains. One sheer that you can see the beautiful windows through and one that is a twill or canvas that will help you block light or give you more privacy. Also, having the heavier curtain option in the winter will help keep the rooms warmer since I'm sure those windows aren't sealed and will not insulate well. That way, you have options and when you want to see just the windows you can push them to either side and reveal the beautiful structure of the windows.

Another thing you could do would be to put your daughters bed in front of the window and then move that white bookshelf out from the wall and use it as a divider. At the base of her bed. If it has a back on it you can cover the back in a cute fabric. That way your daughter has a place for her toys, books and knick knacks and a space that is hers with a nice bright window. On the other side, where her bed is now, you could put the infant and all of the infants necessities. That way you have a low divider and your daughter has her space and the baby is on the darker side of the room. It's hard to tell how the room is laid out from your picture but I would try to work with what you already have and just invest in some fun fabrics and play with the arrangement of the room to create an area that is your daughters.

How big is the room and what kind of bed are you currently using for your daughter? My first thought is that based on my experience with parents to be the new child generally doesn't use the nursery for a couple of months at least. However, if you want to get everything set up for your daughter and the new baby all at once I can understand that. The loft is a good idea if you daughter would use it and not be afraid (also beware your ceiling height). Instead of putting the bassinet or crib under the loft I would use the space under the loft to make her a defined area of the room that is hers only. Personalize it and make it a space where she can go read/play/ draw when she gets overwhelmed with the new baby. Maybe put up curtains around the bottom so it's like her "mini house". Then I would make an area that is specifically for the new baby. Really doesn't require much more than a crib (I prefer the small ones by Ikea to the huge ones most people pick up) a changing table, and maybe a chair/rocker depending on where you plan to feed. The other option I can think of (if the room is large enough) would be to get your daughter a daybed that could function as a place to sit for you during the day when caring for the infant. Of course, this would not create a space for her that is special for her necessarily... However, daybeds with trundles are great for girls especially when they get a little older and have sleepovers because it's an extra bed that is stored away when you don't need it.
