Are you not doing Craigslist scavenger anymore? I really enjoyed it, but haven't seen it updated in awhile :(

This is like my dream home, I'm totally swooning.

I am dying to know how she came across Gerritt Vandersyde's "Gypsy Girl" -- was this thrifted? Did she have it printed out somewhere?

Since the photo from our home was used I thought I might comment - the tv in our bedroom is rarely used. It's never been a yes/no discussion issue with me and my husband, because I guess it hasn't been an issue. When we got married we each had our own tv's and with the purchase of the flat screen one tv just ended up going in the bedroom. It's good for occasions when I'm folding laundry on the bed while the news is on in the background or when I'm home sick and feel like watching the complete BBC Pride and Prejudice while recuperating, but if something were to happen to it, we probably wouldn't replace it or miss it.

I love this room - the colors are just so vivid!
I also had that same lamp and the activity board in the crib.

Thanks for comments, and thanks to Kristen and AT for letting me share my home.
To answer questions:
@ablevin5 - the previous poster was right, this is the Billy Jader bookshelf from IKEA. While I could've done the graffiti print myself, we just happened across it and it was on sale that weekend, so there you go.
@WrigleyHogsTheBed - the Chicago print was a thrift store find. It was a silk screened design on canvas, stretched over a frame. I wish I knew the maker or the artist.
@my_junktrunk - The pattern on the orange wall is a Eames dot print.
@Pipstar - The Eiffel tower lamp base was from Target about 5 years ago.
@coarsetalk - My next place will probably have much less, be sure to stay tuned.

Hey all, thanks for featuring us again, AT, nice surprise!

Thanks for the compliments too. @sturgeongeneral - the comforter is from Crate and Barrel circa 2002, I think. It's Marimekko.

@craftscafeonetsy & Tiainspace - it's not wallpaper, but a stencil, yes. I bought some mylar and cut it out myself, no it's not perfect, but I the print I was trying to replicate was kind of fuzzy around the edges too.

@FrauKeiser - the wall design stencil was inspired from an Motel 6 ad I found in an old National Geographic. It was a 60's/70's wallpaper and I just loved it's crazy geometrics. I put it on two walls and it took me like 10 hours total - not sure if I'd do it again!

"Nice monogrammed pillow cases. Everyone needs them."

Everyone? I've never considered monogrammed pillowcases for myself or as a gift. Is this a traditional gift?

I actually own one of these and it is my most favorite possession (although mine looks a little nicer). I inherited it from my grandparents who also lived in Leesburg like the seller, so I wonder if they were sold locally.

I don't think this is that bad at all. I don't care for the artwork on the walls or the flowers, but everything else seemed ok to me. What I would've liked would be to see more photos of the rest of the home. I enjoy pictures that show a flow of color in the entire home - you have a 3 bedroom ranch, why not show us the rest of it?

Loved this entry! So visually stimulating! The blue with the warm woods and whites is fantastic.

Another blik space invaders fan here! This looks like the type of home I would want to live in (if I didn't already have my own home).

I like for homes to be photographed neat and clean, but for some reason this looks like a model home to me, like no one actually lives here?

Holy Moley! This is fantastic! It doesn't even look like a real home to me but some funky cool shop that sells a lot of lamps. First picture is so cool!

It's funny that you work in the film industry because before even reading anything I thought the second photo looked like the quirky movie set. Very nice!

Love the bold colors selected - and I don't mind the string lights actually, they really make the second picture look amazing, contrasting the blues with the orangey lighting. The bedroom is great too. Love a home that inspires creativity!

I must agree I would've liked to have seen more of the rooms instead of the tight shots. I've never been a big fan of yellow, but I like how it came out and I also like the stencils.

So glad you entered, Psymonetta, as I recognize your home from a certain lj community ;)
These few pictures don't do your home justice, it is truly a lovely space.

Wish I could see a better shot of the green kitchen or the room with the blue wall that we only catch a glimpse of at the end.
