Thanks for all your comments -- this has been a great experience!
DAISY -- the curtains in the living room are called string curtains (www.shopwildthings.com/stcuwi18stpe.html), the dark grey upper curtains are bedsheets. i was amazed to find that them in the right color and length for our ceiling height!
shasha8 -- the rug is from jonathan adler.
meowlady -- good catch! i painted the inside of the closet in a bright yellow, not grey. i was surprised how big of an impact it makes in an otherwise grey room.

wow -- thank you guys for all the great feedback. guess i did a pretty bad job with my source list, so here it goes:
EBRON -- the throw is a sheepskin and i ordered it on ebay. they come in different sizes, ours is a quarto.
PI -- that chevron thing is a rather chunky heater/AC unit. i used ductape to create the pattern.
GISELA -- these are string curtains. you can find them at (www.shopwildthings.com/stcuwi18stpe.html)
ZOSH -- we use double-sided tape for the pictures on the gallery wall.
DUANE -- we have a corner where we keep all the girl's books/games/crafts supplies. they usually take over the entire apartment, so instead of dividing the space, we've all learned to share and play the "clean up" game with them at the end of the day.
kepierso24 -- i used a regular black sharpie. the ink got absorbed right away, so there were no smutges.

hope that helps! cheers, hakarl

Thanks guys! Mavoo16 -- i stenciled the wall. It took some planning and if you look closely, you see some parts are a little crooked. My advise for stenciling such a big area is to splurge and get the biggest mask available (stencilease.com) and make sure to wipe the paint off the film frequently to keep the lines crisp.
