You even have a HUGE Flat Screen! My DH is my contractor and I would love for him to see it! I know you will be much more productive with this beautiful room!

I rarely use the ceiling fan. It would be a problem when working with patterns.
I use it when I am using my light box. It puts off extra heat and when I use it for extended periods I tend to get a little warm.

Thank you!

Yes, I did make the curtains. All I did was hem them and put a casing for the rod. I used 4 times the width of the windowsbecause I like them full and ruffly. And again, got the letters from hobby lobby and painted them.
Let me see pics of your room when it's done.

I love white cabinets and wanted these to be white but my cabinet maker explained to me that to have white cabinets he would have to apint them white which would eventually need to be repainted but if he used stain I would never have to do anything else to them, so I went with stain. He used maple wood and I chose the lightest, whitest stain there was although I don't remember what it was called.
I can find out though if you really want to know.
