I think blue dots would have been a bit more appropriate for a bathroom. The red is terrible!

@ jaelmancke-- The collection of Vikings started with one from my childhood home. Most of the rest came from eBay.

@ OhYea and LoveDecor--- The artwork that you are referring to (above the sofa?) is all done by an artist named Mark Coomer (1914-2004). The ones that I have are of buildings here in Chicago from the 1950s and of oil rigs from 1956. I just uploaded some close-ups of the work that I have of his to my flickr account.

Wow! Thanks for all of the responses to my place! I have to admit, I was a bit nervous to read some of the comments. I'm completely aware that I have a lot of things in my apartment, but it's all of those things that make me very happy!

I really wish AT would allow us to comment on each review where people might have questions about something, so let's see what I can do...
@ jlw0001---I found those little houses on eBay. I made the bases that they are sitting on out of foam board and covered them with green paper. I put white x-mas lights underneath to light up the magazine shelves below and put a few of the lights through holes I cut out to make the houses light up. Glad you like them! :)
@OhYea & Mid-C Frank---I found my Kent Coffey ad in the April 1956 Better Homes and Gardens magazine. Do a search on eBay and I bet you'll eventually find one. The three clocks are hanging on vintage fabric that I bought on eBay. I stretched the fabric on stretcher bars like you would a painting.
@suzee---Yes, I would LOVE to have a MC stove in my kitchen! But, since I rent my place, it's probably won't be something that I'll be doing anytime soon.
I totally agree with @OhYea...the photo angles do make it look more crowded than it actually is. I have more than enough room to get around and relax in my home.

Thanks again for your comments! :)
