I like the red & gold quilt too and think it would look good with your furniture and carpet. Some brightness is needed in the room. Yes, blue would be another possibility, but I'm partial to the red myself. I was also going to suggest either a wall-mounted light fixture or a small shelf to put glasses, book, or whatever for the person sleeping in the top bunk. It would be inconvenient to me to not have something there. I'd also put a slightly larger lamp next to the bottom bunk. Can't tell if there is enough room there, but is there room for a slightly larger side table? Even if you have to paint an old one, something larger would be nice. Maybe you don't want to do this, but could the bed be moved 4-6 inches into the room toward the window? If you can't move the small table, I'd probably replace it with a small chest and hang a mirror above it. I'd look for a small upholstered chair for the corner between the windows. And perhaps get a fold-up luggage rack or 2 for bags to keep them off the floor. You could keep them in the closet out of the way.

If you want to use family pictures, try putting them in similar frames that have the same matting, the same size pics, with similar color tones: The green looks good with the blue of your bedspread. I would change out your pillows to some that have green, blue, and white to pull everything together. And add a large rug in the same colors instead of the little white one you have now.

The tree doesn't care a whit that a main leader would be cocked to the side, or if it is central and purely vertical. Neither does it care that there are secondary and tertiary leaders coming along as competition. It is only the human masters that care about this stuff. But it is telling you that it favors one particular trunk to be the main one by sending the preponderance of energy to it. I would listen to that message. If a straight-trunked, single leader tree is the end goal, then to achieve it, at some point not too far down the road, every branch but for one, the one that is to be the central leader, will be removed. The branches are young and flexible enough that any one of them could easily be "molded" into the straight and vertical central leader position. It would make sense to pick the strong one since it is obviously where the main growth is already directed. Just tie it to a 2x2 pointed stake driven firmly into the ground in order to make and keep it straight and vertical. After a year or two, the trunk will hold its shape and the stake can be discarded. My thought regarding whether to leave the other branches on or to remove them, is that neither option is really wrong. This dilemma is the one of focusing on form vs focusing on growth. More branches and leaves = more growth ... but we already know that in the end, it will all be removed from the finished form because it is growing in the wrong place. It will neither be a part of the adult tree trunk or of its canopy. Keep in mind that when X-amount of foliage is removed, 70 - 80% of X quickly regrows from the already established root system. Personally, I think it's worth the sacrifice of 20 - 30% short term size reduction to get the form established early in youth, such that all growth from that point onward is headed in a more correct direction (straight, single trunk.) Keep in mind that after the removed foliage is quickly grown back, that the tree will continue to grow ... because it's growing season. By the end of the season it will probably be 120%, or possibly more, of what it is now, with the problem of "who's the leader" having long been solved. Any knottiness of the young trunk caused by removing a cluster of branches at its base is a non-issue. This will automatically disappear in short order as the tree heals and gains size. That the tree has been in place for 4 years and is only this size (I understand that it froze back once) makes me wonder if you give it supplemental water and fertilizer, both of which are important in the early years. If you either don't, or are skimpy with these things, I'd give them a try and see if you can get some improved growth out of it, as by my standards, it's going too slowly for what it should be doing. After it's up and running, you could cut back.

So let's review the basics: Condensation happens when water vapor comes in contact with a surface that's below the dewpoint of the surrounding air. That suggests two things: 1. A cold surface 2. Air with high humidity Those are the two things that you need to address. It's difficult for me to get oriented from your photos, but that's obviously an outside wall and the bathroom is a high-humidity environment. Why is that particular area colder - and therefore below the dewpoint? Possibilities: 1. lack of insulation 2. Air leak in the wrap / outside siding 3. Water ingress from around a window / gutter area that has reduced the effectiveness of the insulation 4. There's lots of wood framing / blocking right there Why is there high humidity? Possibilities: 1. Not using fan when showering 2. Other ventilation problem
