Oh yes; the floral panels or Roman shade will be temporary, or just for summer use. I could do a floral Roman shade and add solid drapes, in the proper width, to coordinate with a bedspread, couldn't I? It's the "imaginary" green, floor-length, pleated, full, drapes that will be lined, interlined, weighted, and fussed over. Yes, we've caulked and foamed and insulated and did everything short of casting spells on the new Marvin windows. They're light-years ahead of the old, single-paned (pained?) warped-wood things that were there originally from 1952. As for my bedding...there's a reason I haven't posted photos, LOL. We've been doing so many other projects (ripping out 1970 shag carpeting, refinishing hardwood floors, tearing out the bathroom and redoing it from the studs outward, plumbing, painting, and planning the new kitchen) that the bedroom has suffered. I don't think that's right, and I've set my mind to make the bedroom look at least pulled together and "charming" before summer gets here. It has a new Pergo floor; it didn't have hardwood to refinish. The 1970s paneling was removed; the walls have been repaired and painted. The crown molding and trim is installed and the closet is ready for its shelving system. Once I have the dark sage drapes on the sage walls, I plan on making a couple of quilts/bedspreads that will be various shades of green, ivory, beige, and with touches of either red or purple. I have a dark green plain bedspread, and a beige one, to use with the "temporary" curtains. I can pull out any one of their colors, probably a beige or green, and use a solid bedspread in that color. I'll also be adding a large area rug that will fit under the bed and extend out about 30-36 inches on each side and at the foot. It can be any color that works with the sages/naturals look. For today? I have sage colored flannel sheets on the bed (it's still cold here) with a 1980s mauve pink and dusty blue quilt that my dear SIL gave me. It's topped with a king-size sheet covered with yellow roses. Aren't you glad I didn't post a photo? LOL My Harry/hairy dog naps on the bed. I keep the queen-size bed covered with various flat king-size sheets and change them often. It keeps his hair off the bedding. He's an 80-lb. hunting dog who thinks he's a tiny lap-dog puppy. He's my heart and "no" is a word he does not hear. (Unless his health or safety is concerned.)

OMG, you have a really high ceiling! Amazing space, and it will be marvelous to go UP with your storage cabs. Hmmm, I can see that the space to the left of the window might not be WIDE enough for all that many upper cabs with doors. And instead of closing in the wall plugs, could you move them up to the spots where the triangular shelves would be? At least that way, you'd have a spot to put a small Bose radio or a clock, or maybe some other small electrical thingy, like the chargers for your cell phone and camera batteries? I'd suggest the same for the other plug beneath the window. Move it up enough that it would not be located behind the window seat or any deep cushion you might place there. You could, if need be, simply take power off of it to put a shaded sconce on the tall pantry cab to the right of that window too. No wall switch, just a button on the sconce itself. And, that high pointy ceiling area there is really dramatic. Putting an uplight on top of the highest cab where you will locate some arty objects, that would be a nice feature. I'd suggest a wall switch on a dimmer for that. If you CAN leave the window molding uncovered, and it is pretty, then try to figure it. But I am puzzled by what kind of molding it is....metal? If it is metal, you probably should leave it, unless you can caulk the cab and window seamline to appear flawless. Have you ever heard about the CAMEL PROJECT? A CAMEL is a HORSE DESIGNED BY COMMITTEE. hehehehe I heard that expression when I was a research librarian many years ago. Don't worry. Brainstorming is good for us all.

My primary concern would be that the champagne bronze faucet and the (cant remember now) color name of the pot filler are two entirely different colors/metal finishes. In my last kitchen, I had flat black (rasped iron) hardware on cream inset cabinets with stainless appliances (range had brass trim) and my tap and pot filler were both uncoated brass. The lights were ORB because that was the lighting scheme for the entire house. The cabinet hardware was black because all the hardware in the house was black. The faucets were just because I love *real* brass and it looked great.

Before you get much further into the weeds on this project, you really should have some sort of general plan for the entire backyard (at least). It doesn't have to be done all at once, or even soon, but you don't want to get into a situation where a large shade tree is wanted where a small, ornamental tree is already established. So where are you thinking you want large shade trees? Which way is west? If you already have an elm tree, what variety is it? What sort of growth habit does it have? Is it likely to die of Dutch elm disease before it gets to be a good size? After you've generally figured out tree placement, you start thinking about shrub placement. I wouldn't get too hung up on the idea of evergreens since a lot of deciduous shrubs have dense enough branching to give decent sight blockage even during the winter. They can also often grow quite fast. Large grasses are also a possibility, though a bit of a cliche.
