cute....kind of like when I would make the kids Mickey Mouse pancakes....but much more elaborate. I'll bet Annie will be all over this! Linda C

Thanks so much for all of your suggestions. I promise to post pics of the furniture once the floor is refinished, and we set the furniture up in the room. Staceyneil--the furniture is squared off, not rounded. Also, I love the second inspiration pic you included and keep going back to it. We adopted a child from China and decorating the room with an Asian vibe would be meaningful for us and for friends/family who would use the guest room--how nice to be able to include that with my grandparents' furniture in the same space! Franksmom--I don't sew but could probably manage to hem up a piece of fabric for pretty curtains, when we get that far. I'm with you on the second-hand shopping. I enjoy it for the hunt, budget issues aside. Deeinohio--excellent point about taking it a step at a time. We'll set up the furniture in the room, stop and post pics, and then continue. :) jeanne_gallo--Your office sounds beautiful. We used the color in the office of our last home, a 1916 bungalow, and enjoyed it very much. It will be interesting to use the same color but for an entirely different space and style here. Igloochic--great to read your reply! I recognize your name from my lurking here. I appreciate your taking the time to address so many aspects of this project with practical suggestions. Good point about using just one of the dressers. I'll try the cedar chest next to the bed and see how that looks and functions. Yes, I'm seeing lamp and comfy chair shopping in my future. Do you think duvet-type bedding might work? I've been admiring those and also European-type feather beds--are they actually the same thing? I'm enjoying a project that has some starting perimeters (furniture and paint color) but is also somewhat of a blank slate.
