hi everyone,

thanks for all the feedback and the votes! i am just so thrilled to be on this wonderful site. to answer some of the questions:

i used the free version of the software at floorplanner.com to do the floor plan.

yes, this is off grand avenue near lake merritt -- good eye!

the chairs and slipcovers are from ikea, as others pointed out; the chairs can be really hard, so i would suggest ditching the seat cushions the chairs come with and getting foam cut to fit instead (it's relatively inexpensive).

i agree that the string lights don't look that great in the picture (lesson learned). i think in real life they look a bit better, though -- they have beaded shades so they look more "done."

it was really interesting to hear what people liked and what people would do differently (especially in terms of furniture arrangement). i wish you could all come over to have a glass of wine and meet the pigs! their names are chloe and olivia, and as it turns out, they are mostly white, so they match the room perfectly :-)
