I've mostly been stalking my own post, but i looked at your and was super impressed so I had to vote. Your place is wonderful. It is full of all of my favorite things- MCM, color (your couch is killing me) and art. Love, love, love.

Thanks again, everyone. Taco Ted!
The sofa is the Corona sofa from Macy's. At the time I got it you could get a lot of different colors (I was torn between the green and the reddish) but now I think it only comes in 2 or 3 neutrals. I like it- it's comfy and the fabric is nice. I wish it was a little lower profile (it towers above my 50's furniture), but other than that it is great.

Thanks for voting.

I've been anxiously awaiting my entry to post, but now that you guys have entered the "small" competition I may as well hang it up. Your place is fantastic. Bummer :(

I love this place. I am a color fan, too. Your bike is great. Want to house swap sometime? I'm in Ann Arbor.

I saw a white-painted one on pinterest that someone had made. I need a free standing one that doesn't suck. That UO one doesn't quite fit the bill.

Hi, all.

Thanks for the nice comments. The cat curtains were from my friend, Jo. Her friend has a shop- I'll get the link for you. They are actually towels that I clipped to rings.

The loaf of bread was painted by me, and I will be selling original food guys and prints at our etsy shop later this month.

The loveseat/sectional is destroyed! The cushions are disintegrating- they leave yellow dust all over. It is so dusty I can't sit on it. My dog loves it- it is her couch. I love the look of it (colors and all), so it is in the living room, but someday it must be reupholstered!

To the poster that wants to see the outside, I it is gray and white and aqua outside, too. I'll see if I can link a photo.

Thanks again- it is so fun to read the comments!

funlinlin- the den is a bedroom that we put a t.v. a couch and a dining table in. trust me- its packed. however, you're right- this size is not cramped for the 2 of us, but we are short of storage and extra space, so there I definitely have to be careful about how much stuff we have and where it will go. If we have 2 kids we'll be putting them in here, so maybe I can update you with that some day. However, this is the "small" category and not the "teeny-tiny".

felttipjr: the paintings are by my husband. I can sell you some if you want :)

Wow, I'm really enjoying these comments. Thanks for the votes!

The china cabinet, and indeed much of my mid-century furniture, is from a great furniture consignment shop in my town. The name of the store is The Treasure Mart and it is definitely worth checking out if you ever find yourself in the Ann Arbor/Detroit area.
