sacha, to be honest, i didn't paint the bit down low by the toilet because i got lazy! :) plus, without having a center point, it would have been really difficult to get the lines straight. in the end, i decided that i didn't mind how it looked without the bottom half filled in.

thank you for all the wonderful comments everyone!

i just moved into an apartment with blue carpeting in the livingroom and i hate it! i got a nearly room-sized sisal area rug and layered my giant flotaki on top. there's still some blue peeking out and i plan to get one more sisal rug to completely hide it but, for now, it's actually not too bad. the focus has been taken off the carpeting and the room looks fresh and modern.

thank you to everyone for your comments! i agree with the criticisms of the keep calm poster (matting is on my to do list!) and the tv (it's a necessary evil). i know at'ers are pretty particular so i think i got off light considering. :)

fleababe: the gray is tricky! i didn't want something that would make the room too dreary. i didn't even realize there was a lilac tinge to it until i painted the bathroom the same gray; with different light, the pinkishness really comes out. if you're considering painting a gray, definitely bring paint chips home and see how they work in the room in different lights.

as for the straight lines in the bedroom, i used a ruler, a level, and masking tape. it took a little time but it was pretty easy!

if i had the right place, i could definitely see myself doing this. one of my favorite books when i was young was "the house book" a giant interior design book from the 70's, so i have a soft spot for rainbow wall stripes, flokati rugs and conversation pits.

i actually bought that table online from urban outfitters thinking i could paint over the ugly picture (it was a paint by number dog). come to find out, it was even better than i thought... it's a decal that you can peel right off!

i'm loving all the puns intended and unintended this rug has evoked! "falls flat" / "carbon footprint"... ha ha!

oh my goodness... from the picture on the front page i thought that pillow was a fake burrito! how awesome would it be to hide your valuables inside a burrito. :)

i dream of bed platforms! something like this would be great in a boxy studio: visual interest, deliniation of space and extra storage!
