@JenChung: the link on How To Make Books has a little something to do with the book... The OrangeBeautiful Studio+Shop carries Esther's books - that's probably where Meg & Brad bought it!

(side note: as a bookbinder myself, HTMB is a *highly recommended* book for novice binders and professionals alike!)

As you might expect, I can answer a lot of the 'where'd you get that?' questions with one "word" :: IKEA

The curtains in our sunroom/dining nook were made by me out of IKEA fabric.

Our couch w/ the floral pattern is also from there - but, unfortunately, both that sofa style and the vintage-y fabric have been long-since discontinued.

Same with the chartreuse dining chairs... they used to be in the meeting area of OB's old studio, but - again - are no longer available at IKEA...

The kitten pillows are custom (modeled after our two real-life, orange cats) and were made by Etsy seller, Brokesy... those are definitely in my Top 5 favorite things in our entire apartment.

And the "moose head" is a Feltidermy Jackalope, by Chicago artist, girl savage!

thanks so much for your comments about our space, everyone...

in response to the weirdly awkward comments about how this isn't a tour (or maybe you meant that our house isn't a house, nik111?) - I actually really love the way Jason featured our place. I won't apologize for not having predictable space-planning - we're just not those people. Our apartment (as you can see from the floorplan that Jw posted above - http://www.joshuawentz.com/floor_plan.jpg ) is a very tight-yet-long layout where it's actually really difficult to achieve full room shots.

@AcrossThePond - I think your comment really hit the nail on the head. The focus of how our space is presented here actually gives a great sense of the way in which we live there.

As for not showing our bedroom - honestly, I've never even thought to share pics of the most personal space in our home with anyone. And, seriously, you guys totally don't want to see our kitchen... trust me ;)
