I'm from Kentucky. What are these things called "shoes?"

I love this idea! I think the execution is all in how they're grouped, too. I could see turning some upright for planters, punch holes in a pattern and add fairy lights or candles that would give a glow, and some for some storage, all grouped together as a kind of functional art/sculpture.

Personally, I'd put some kind of plant in front of the windows on either side of the fireplace--either a tallish tree or a hanging one, something easy maintenance, but that would add some color, which would pull out the light accents of green in the chairs and pillow.
Curtains on the large window and in the dining room, but tie it with a ribbon or something in the middle when you want the light.

I have the window problem--right in the shower, in fact-- and I have a basic white shower curtain in there. It looks fine from the outside, and since the regular shower curtain covers the cut off bottom from the inside, it works for me.

I second the plants suggestion for the kitchen or doing a stained glass-- you can do a faux stained glass with colored plastic wrap like they use for gift baskets.

I love it. Also, as an editor who MAKES books, I also have no qualms whatsoever about destroying them, either. Books have a multitude of uses, and only some are destined to become rare books. Also, any reason to keep making the hard copies and not go to digital, i.e. people buying more books--whether to replace their "rug" copies or for any other reason-- I'm all for. :)

Another way in which Kindles just don't quite give the same tactile experience.

I agree, beef up the mantle, and add columns to it, even on either side of the insert. Then, I'd paint the walls whatever color you want, and then build bookshelves in on either side and even, if you wanted, over the top.

Get some of his first initial like everyone else said, and some ampersand signs, and combine them together.
