add a bookshelf

I originally thought I'd put this bookshelf in the living room, but I like it in the bedroom.

The rug works! I love the bed linens!! And the rocking chair...will do for now.

bedroom rug

Random rug found on the Internet...which magically coordinates with my quite-complicated bedroom set!?

Could I be this lucky?

murphy bed no more

Sarah's sleeping on the murphy bed now...and I've got a real one:

Bedskirt is on back order. And it still needs a rug. But the headboard and nightstand ROCK.

final answers: bed and bedding

I finally settled on a bed frame and linens for my bed. No more red-on-red bedding for me -- I'm a grownup now. So to speak.

Here's the bed. It will come with a matching nightstand (not pictured).

And after exhaustive searching, I found the perfect bedding design -- green and purple, carpet-esque and plaid, all of my contradictory tastes gloriously unified by a better designer than I (Mr. Ralph Lauren):

It's called "Rutherford Park." There is actually a Rutherford Park in Victoria, Australia. Maybe they pair plaid with rug designs there.

English sinks

Seen in a Bathstore in Salisbury, Wiltshire:

I like them, but am kind of getting over the vessel-sink concept. I think I'm probably going to have to bite the bullet and enlarge the hole in the countertop.

industrial chic

Bathroom sinks, seen in NYC. I must say I'm not a fan.
