Love the use of color. And for what it's worth, my name is Joi and I named my dog Scout!

The stairs lead to the attic.

Thank you! We painted the crib and dresser with a custom color.

Stitchify-the painting over the bed was done by Wren's grandmother, with all inspiration credited to Charlie Harper!

These are beautiful! I am about to wallpaper a very small bathroom and was just trying to figure out how to determine the right size pattern repeat for the space. Is there a general rule for how large is too large or how small is too small of a pattern for a small space? My bathroom is mostly doors and closets so the area to be papered is limited. Thanks for the help! I was excited to see this topic covered today!

Any chance the dresser is painted in Glidden's "Punk Rock" ? I found a match for it at http://www.myperfectcolor.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=MPC0097794
but the color swatch on the screen looks different than the dresser...I love the dresser color and would like to paint a crib that shade of green if I can find it...

angeladudek-thank you for that link. that is incredibly helpful. i was leaning towards a bold print but they don't look quite right-i think because of all the tufting. maybe a matte neutral with more interesting pillows would be a good (safe) solution.

i really appreciate all the input-it has been really helpful. you are a smart and nice bunch!

"There is just something of a temporary feel to the bed right now? Can't put my finger on it."

It's the legs-they are 2x4's!!! We built a tall platform so we could put storage underneath--I'm hoping some day to have the bed on a real frame.

puddle-i do love and appreciate the bones of the room. the floors are the original solid oak, they are stained the same color as the window trim and crown moulding. i think we'll re-assess the need for under-bed storage after the built-ins are there. do you recommend lowering the bed because it would look better? the ceilings are 10 ft. ? the fireplace is technically optional--just a money saver. i like the idea of painting it the same color as the wall. what about a slightly lighter or darker shade than the wall? which option would make it stand out less? or is an exact match better? thank you!

Thank you for the many wonderful suggestions so far! To answer some questions, we do own, but husband loves the original dark trim, so we won't be painting it. Also, we have central heat but this 105 year-old house is drafty and the fireplace really helps with the heating bill in the winter time.

#9-after the built-ins are installed we won't need either dresser or the wardrobe. The remaining items would be bed, 2 nightstands, fireplace. The bed has 8 bins under it that we are already using for storage-that's why we built the bed so tall...great ideas! Keep 'em coming!
