Hi Saltyc - It is a Billy Bookcase. It looks like they have discontinued the two shelf option for a slightly taller one with 3 shelves.

Hi ely2001 - the paint above the fireplace is Olympic China White and yes it's a parchment color so slightly off white (the ceiling is painted white as a reference for you).

Thank you for the encouraging comments!

This is absolutely my favorite thing on a weekend morning. It's amazingly simple and you can mix it up. I often add arugula or spinach under my egg with some parmesan on top. YUM!

Hey Jesse!
Thanks for the comment! You're place is great, especially inspiring as it's a rental and yet you've still made it your own. Congrats and good luck!
Dave and Melanie

Thank you everyone for the wonderful comments!
tikilicious - the color in the kitchen is by Vaspar - Lime burst
whytephoenix - the plant in the living room is a firestick cactus and would turn bright red if in direct sun, but it does great indoors with alot of sun as well
Courtnyleigh - the table is a vintage knock off of the saarinen tulip table...not nearly as expensive as the real version. :)

did you paint the floors yourself? it adds a nice playful touch to the space!

thekatieway - you are correct that is our Pointer Cash! He's just 11 months old and not nearly as regal or still as this photo would suggest.
Brozek - yes those are plaster cracks in the living room photo. The house was built in 1923 and every room had these which we as you suggest skim coated and patched to fix. We are striping and refinishing all the original wood trim in the living room ourselves thus it is not yet painted, but we like to think it adds character until its complete.

Hi everyone. The chair is a flea market find... and no it is not stuffed with catnip. The color of the walls is Ralph Lauren, Prince. Lastly the closet door was off because we stripped all the doors and hardware of old paint so they would operate as they were intended. Glad you all like it!
