I think that the use of the word "difference" is what's confusing. It's not different - it's just what you actually spent. Otherwise it's comparing apples to oranges. The value here is in the thoughtful list of what things approximately cost. It's a beautiful reno!

I added rope light to a home made tent in my daughter's room. It's a great reading nook.

If you don't mind coming a bit further north there is also the Evanston Rebuilding Warehouse. Not so much rare and antique stuff, but solid pieces that are from homes being demolished in the Chicagoland area.The prices are really reasonable - I picked up a Restoration Hardware marble double vanity for just $300 bucks (originally $2K)

The color was custom mixed, but Benjamin Moore's Baby's Breath or Mountainscape would be a good match.

This is a lovely home. I loved the sky colored ceiling in the bedroom especially.

Wow, thanks! We love our bedroom. After years of ignoring it we finally put some effort into decorating and couldn't be more happy with it!

Wow! It looks great!

I wonder is a cable railing would look out of place for the age of your house?

Maybe something that feels a little more traditional, but still light and airy...

Fantastic! I love seeing bookshelves full of books and not over styled. I actually thought that the apartment was quite masculine, or at least, very balanced. Maybe all the men I know have good taste ;)

killer chesterfield, btw.

Would you consider a round entry table with a space for flowers and a few books? You could tuck a couple of ottomans under it for when you want to perch by the fire - or have two slipper chair facing the fire also.
