That's about all I can think of really.

Well there is one more thing and I don't mean it in a bad way but you might want to consider refinishing that dresser. It looks pretty good now but if it was stripped and refinished it would look awesome.
The cowboy riding into the sunset is a GREAT idea! I can't do it, but my hubby can! In fact, I saw how you do murals on TV. You rent a projector like they use at schools. And then trace the image onto the wall. Maybe a dark red wall with a black image...like a shadow?

I'm thinking reds and darker blues as far as colors go...maybe even some plaid in there...

The dresser, it looks much better in person. It's still dusty from the remodel. lol. In fact, it's brand new. It's a rustic pine with rusted handles. It came that way. That style is common around here. I think they make them in Mexico.
