It’s perfect for snuggling up to read with little ones or yourself. And the covers are fully washable. We recently put one in our bedroom corner & it’s my favorite piece in our entire house.

Hey hey again. Oooo, I like where your head’s at. I wouldn’t put a mirror across from the bed for a deeply personal reason: I look like a bed monster when I first wake up and no one should see that first thing. What about a medium size, horizontal piece of art in a wood frame above the dresser though? Something in the colors you like that also hides the two wall plates? Here are some pricier examples: https://www.collinsandgreenart.co.uk/products/a-peaceful-moment https://www.collinsandgreenart.co.uk/products/cubist-forest https://www.collinsandgreenart.co.uk/products/white-daisies-and-fruit https://www.collinsandgreenart.co.uk/products/still-life-with-paint-pots There’s a 10% discount for your first order and the woman who owns the shop ships to the US. A cheaper route would be to thrift a wood frame and then print downloadable art to size from Etsy or one of the various museums that provides free high resolution downloads of their art. I would also hang the two smaller pieces of art you have in a stack on one of the small walls that flank your windows. They’re cute and deserve a place on your wall. And dang, that’s a great estate sale find. Someone really talented made that blanket.]]> In reply to Jen.

Hi Molly! You're right! My room with the dresser does need some art and pattern! I jumped at the chance of getting input from Aryln and posted the room in it's current state. I didn't originally think of the added benefit of input from others, this is great! Where would add pattern? Curtains? A different throw blanket? Ideas for art size/amount on the headboard size? Wallpapering makes me get excited, but the walls have too much texture, so not an option in the near future for this gal.]]> In reply to Molly.

Hey there, I after Aryn's suggestions, I was also contemplating alternatives to adding wood to the dresser side of the room. I'm not opposed to a wood top, but a large tray would be quicker. I also have wood framed mirror, that my dad actually stained for me when I was a pre-teen that might do the trick, hung above the dresser. Lemme know your thoughts. As for color, Aryln delivered! That is just what I asked for was her input on color. I picked up swathces last night to see them in the room over the weekend. Can you believe that textured blanket was from an estate I was invited to preview before they opened? Just a nice friend of my parents who also knew me from when I had a few flea market booths and thought I'd appreciate some of her mother's nice things as they downsized for her. You're suggestions will take it up a notch, thanks!]]> In reply to krkrkrkr.

Also add a coffee table. Agree with others that putting the sofa agains that wall actually HELPS toddlers climb to the pony wall??!!

Two of my biggest worries when looking at online resources are: (1) What is the quality of the furniture, will it last? and (2) scale.
It’s very helpful and illuminating to see the thought process behind your creative and effective advice.
