I really really appreciate all the sweet comments! It's been a lot of fun to be part of the contest. @mewtastic, I got this vintage rug from a little store called "It's About Time" here in Abilene. They carry both old and new stuff and it's beautifully curated. There's a spot on the rug that I cover with one of the table legs that helped me get it for a good price. Thank you Charisse, for noticing about my 2010 entry. So glad you like the changes! It's an ever evolving process...I really am wanting to lighten the walls again.

@spiffyonion I am so happy that you feel a connection with ou room and delighted to answer the questions!!

1. These are quilts that I found on Target clearance about 8 years ago. I love the no sew clip system for curtains that allow switching looks out easily.

2. About the table lamps and shades, both are from Target a few years ago. You may be noticing a pattern here. It's one of my major sources apart from thrifting. I think they still carry some interesting colors. I found the vintage shade for the floor lamp at a thrift store.

3. A teacher friend gave us Pat, the anatomical model. It was in the way up at school and she said we were the only ones she could think of who might want it.

Hi sueerneta--Thanks! The slipcover part that is red is one I found at Target several years ago on clearance. The pink part is a satin polyester quilt that I also got from Target about 4 years ago. It's orange on the other side. I tuck it in on top of the other slip cover and it stays in place fairly well. I plan to have a white denim slip cover made one of these days to replace this set up. Like you, comfort is of utmost importance so we're hanging onto our 80's couch that is so soft and deep.

this is super cute!

I think Jonothan Adler is very 21st century. It's retro but definitely with his own wonderful spin. Love this peek into his office!
