If you keep your door locked no one is going to come in and see you sleeping in bed. You may not be used to it but there is nothing wrong with it. Everyone had a bedroom, after all, and you can always keep your bedroom door part way closed if it really bothers you.Misadventures of Widowhoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17262709452281226620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7267296850244884919.post-70146949824469541192016-02-13T00:13:48.662-05:002016-02-13T00:13:48.662-05:00But then, were would I put that heavy, big, long c...But then, were would I put that heavy, big, long couch?

Currently I'm in the "less is more" phase. It feels more serene to not have "stuff" everywhere. I have one wall in living room to hold art. No curtains or valances on windows, just cellular blinds to keep out the heat. My kitchen lines up with front door, so my every day junk is off to the side and out of direct view (coffee pots, paper towels, cutting boards, knives) I keep the island clear. <br /><br />I suggest a curtain in the little hallway closing off your bedroom (and whatever else is back there) which might make it easier on your eyes. Especially if you could find similar fabric to what is on your living room windows. <br /><br />So many ideas ....<br /><br />So you should just do what suits YOU. You don't entertain or have more than one or two people over at a time, so make it just how you like.

Smaller than I would like, actually, that's why I try to keep "stuff" to a minimum and rarely pull the blinds on my big windows. I want an open feeling. Yes, I will wait until I get the new unit. Just pondering in my head. :-)Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03399435237919718544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7267296850244884919.post-43311415968508706742016-02-12T21:30:00.809-05:002016-02-12T21:30:00.809-05:00I toyed with a folding screen, but thought the cat...I toyed with a folding screen, but thought the cat would probably knock it down. I saw a back-less bookcase in Wal-Mart, made of weathered barn wood, simple and wonderful, but I think I would have to use Oak to go with everything else.

There's so many new things out now, that might be possible or the cable outlet move might cost a lot less than you're guessing.<br /><br />Another idea for your space to keep people from seeing into your bedroom is a folding screen room dividers. They come in lots of styles and sizes.Misadventures of Widowhoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17262709452281226620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7267296850244884919.post-88627753634485314742016-02-12T18:35:50.904-05:002016-02-12T18:35:50.904-05:00That sounds like the perfect way to spend your tim...That sounds like the perfect way to spend your time during a Canadian Clipper or a Polar Vortex, and make some soup. <br /><br />John sounds like the sweetest man. Some gal with really good blood work, good bones and just the right weight would be smart to snap hime up. :) I'm only kidding. I know it isn't like that, but he does sound so kind-hearted. <br /><br />I don't mind the openness back to your bedroom.

A wonderful depictions of the Godsends that flow into my life. How large is it?<br /><br />A room divider coming that far into the room is a wonderful idea. Though I agree, the piece you've pictured might look too busy. The nice thing about your cabinet, when it was there, was its simple, solid mass. If you don't need the additional storage, maybe a folding screen as a room divider? (Though that could look too flimsy.) What about a tall corner display cabinet? <br /><br />Have a good weekend, too, Judy. Brrrrr. I'm closing all the curtains and keeping the bird feeders full. Supposed to be -8 here.
