@charlie26- I love you too.
@LauraC111- The coffee table is a knock-off plywood Eames table from Craigslist!
@Angela K- It's a Stendig Calendar...I bought it from a small shop near my apartment, but they're sold all over the place and online!
@House Voyeur- Funny you should mention that, I have a couple mobiles bookmarked! Maybe in the hallway, maybe in the living room or bedroom. Maybe I just need three mobiles.
@skoshi- the duvet is from Muji, but unfortunately I can't find a place that sells it anywhere online and I don't think the store stocks them anymore! I wrote about it here, and there are some good recommendations for comparable products in the comments section!

@abs- The kitchen table base is from a thrift store on the Upper East Side, and I pulled the top out of the garbage (it was originally from a CB2 table)...you can read about that whole saga here: http://manhattan-nest.com/2011/05/28/tabletop-swap/

In terms of finding something similar, it's basically a vintage knock-off Saarinen Tulip table, although I don't think I've ever seen another brass one. Usually they're white and vintage knock-offs are usually made by Burke and can sometimes be found pretty cheap.

@Magamibear- It's the Kartell FL/Y Suspension lamp, via Craigslist!

Thanks so much for the kind comments, everyone!

@fatcatpaulanne- The doors are Benjamin Moore "Onyx"

@pixelmeow- we contacted this Etsy seller and had one custom-made in a 96" length. It's just a black ticking stripe. http://www.etsy.com/shop/ModernFolkShop?ref=seller_info

@kellykato- The bathroom is Benjamin Moore "Graphite"—used the Aura Bath & Spa formula for a matte finish. It's almost black, with a bit of a navy tinge.

@shellydb- The light in the kitchen is the Icosa pendant from Areaware. I got it when it was on sale on Fab.com!

Your place is lovely and your garden is GORGEOUS, Cory! Thank you for sharing it—it sounds like you're loving your life, and we just don't hear enough stories like that. Those of us reading who aren't seniors yet should all hope to be like you someday!

To anybody tryna start something about "too much stuff": I bet you have way, way more. You just don't live in the equivalent of a 13' x 14' room.
