Thank you so much for this comment by the way (just coming back here to see some of the images). It's so nice to have you on FB now too :)

Not sure if I responded to this, now that we can reply to individual comments but I had it custom made. Most contractors should be able to do it for you! :)

I LOVVVVE this idea, I always give this advice and no one ever does it, but it's so smart and such a cool idea. Thanks for posting!

@bobbihuffman, the Buddha lamp is vintage. The frames for the photo wall were custom made for the photos LizzyL4. I thinK i answered your question via email regarding the carpet. Was that you?

Lifeabundant:

The office shelving are actually wood which I had painted in a metallic color. They were vintage.

The living room ottoman is upholstered in a vinyl. I have drawn on it with a ball point pen and rubbing alcohol takes it off (good with little kids).

Dining room art I cannot remember for the life of me who it's by. We bought it a while back and I never got any info on it. So sorry!

Dining table: Succulents

Hope this helps!

Hi aminasmama, here you go!

Okay Okay, will answer a couple more questions :)

Pearlmelon: The entry light is Remains Lighting. The sofa fabric is a cotton/velvet that really does well with staining (It's from Crate & Barrel). We've spilled everything possible on there, and it wipes right off. Great with kids (especially cause the kitchen table is right next to it and 90% of the time, my son's dinner ends up near or on the couch)

Apple473 - the mirror was an antique I found on 1st dibs. Hard to find a large vanity mirror but I found it!

K.K. the clock broke on us within a month of having it and we had to replace it. Will post link, but wouldn't recommend. Has bad battery life too: http://www.amazon.com/Karlsson-Clock-Double-Sided-Aluminum/dp/B000I8OBCM/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1320450012&sr=8-7

MelissaM: I lived in 9 apartments in 10 years and have done wallpaper in many of them, even the rentals when allowed. To me wallpaper is not an overly expensive option to transform a space. First, hire the best wallpaper hanger you can find, it's worth the investment (believe me, I have stories) because you will end up having to redo and it will cost you more. Second, bathrooms can handle wallpaper IF you stay away from natural fibers and fabric wallpaper. My kids bath which isn't featured here is in a great modern animal print and it has held up fine. Our master, also has it on the ceiling and it has been totally fine. I think the smaller the bathroom, you probably have more risk, but in my many years of designing, I have had zero issues with wallpaper in bathrooms and most likely they're all covering their a**es.

Hope that helps!

Thank you to everyone for all your comments! I won't be checking the thread for questions but if you need anything else or have any questions, please feel free to post on my facebook page or shoot me an email and I'd be happy to help you.
