  1. I once had a guy tell me his mom had always told him not to marry an accountant because she would not know how to decorate a home. Ha! I wish I could send them this post to prove that's not true. We (or at least you :) can decorate AND do it budget-consciously.

    This room is so beautiful! I love everything about it, and for the record, I have never heard of the 60-30-10 rule before reading this.

    1. Thanks, Marla! I'm not naturally crafty like you, so I have to take projects really slowly. :)
      And yay for natural light!

  3. How did you do the paneling and molding on the wall? I think that really adds to the room as well.

    1. Hey Amy! I'm glad you like it. Don't worry--I'll cover the wall panels and moulding in the post about the room's architectural detail. I'll try to remember to send you the link when I post it (it might be a while--I have some other posts I'm doing first). I saw you in a picture HolliJo posted recently--too cute!

  6. So this works great for most of the year. But what do you do in the summer when it's hot? Do you guys have A/C?

    1. Hey Ivan, our bedroom window faces east and has an awning so it actually gets very little direct light and only in the morning. So even though it's a thousand times brighter, it's still one of the coolest rooms in the house.
      We did actually break down this last summer and got A/C since I was hugely pregnant and told my husband if we were ever going to get A/C, now was the time. I braced myself for a huge electric bill, but was surprised how little we had to use it. But it was sure nice knowing it was there and being able to crank it up on those few crazy hot weeks we had. Thanks for checking out the blog! Our college savings post is one of our highest viewed. Must be because of your super cute son's picture. :)
