Without a doubt, this room has the best natural light out of any in the house. My favorite time of day in here is late afternoon/early evening. It's not bright anymore; there's just a soft, natural light that makes the room feel very cozy. The gold we chose for the walls enhances the warmth of the room. I'm so glad we didn't stick with the Roycroft copper red that we had... With all the windows, it almost feels like you're sitting on the porch. Now that the futon isn't blocking the windows, there's an even greater connection to the outside, and I can see the tops of the ferns in the bed in front of the porch. Right now there's hardly any traffic, and I can hear tons of birds singing.
Looks like the critters like it in here too...
Times like this make me wonder how I'll ever manage to leave this house behind... When we moved in, this room was straight out of the 80s. Now, it's like a little Craftsman oasis. I'm so very happy with the way it turned out. Just sitting in here, doing nothing, makes me feel so contented. Everything in this room just screams "home" to me, from the glowing pine floors to the homemade pottery. I can't wait til the rest of the house is done. I hope it feels as good as this room does.
That is a nice room! I love gold with nice wood trim.
ReplyDeleteThis room is beautiful! I have been checking out your blog, and it's been really helpful- my partner and I are about to move into our first home, a Prairie Box craftsman style home built in 1927 in Ypsilanti, Michigan. We're also focused on sustainable eating and living as you are- :) thanks for the inspiration!!
