@okmosa - glad you like the colors. The yellow on top is Behr Summer Field, and the color on the bottom is Behr Venetian Gold.

@SKATERJO: Made it! Tutorial can be read here: http://www.merrypad.com/2011/10/13/three-diy-ottomans/

Thanks for the nice comments!

@ANNAEUROPE: The curtain actually is medium gray, there's no 100% black in my home (the times I've tried, it's been too harsh against the warm colors) - must just be my white balance :)
@KATANNE9: The frame is actually something I made using real barnwood; I'd check around with woodworkers and maybe on etsy, I'm sure someone could duplicate it.
@COOKIESALAD: All of my shiplap was bought straight-up from Lowe's. No mitering necessary, the rabbeted edge was already cut in it. I just stained prior to install to make things easy. Glad you like!

Thanks to everyone for your nice comments, I'm overjoyed that you like the space.

@LOVEDECOR: The prints in the bedroom in the brown frames are Frank Black/Pixies concert poster prints.
@MRDRAPER: I find myself sweeping endlessly over here. How does the dog have any fur left, is my question.
@JULIE: The rosemary is a challenge - I'm glad it's not just me struggling to keep it alive. I'm just trying to remember to water it and keep it in direct sunlight as much as I can! A few more months, and it can sit back out on the deck.

Thanks to everyone for the nice comments - the couch was bought from Value City a few years ago.

@juliaf, Yes, directly on the white paint of the wall. Glad you like!

Thanks for the great comments, all. Really appreciated.

Love it! I used a piece of driftwood from the beach to make a centerpiece for the dining room table, and I added little silicone Sugru feet to it so that it didn't scratch up the table at all. http://www.merrypad.com/2010/12/05/driftwood-centerpiece-feat-sugru/

Awesome - wish I was there!
