It's actually a cloth shower curtain and I bought it probably 4 months ago... Apartment Therapy San Francisco | House Tour: Frances' Light-Filled Haven San Francisco |

So now that I think about it, I found the owl piece on Little Paper Planes around 3 years ago. I just looked through all of the artwork on the current site and that one appears to be long gone. I also looked on the actual piece to find a name, but I must have sliced it off to get it in the frame. Sorry I couldn't offer more help.

Wow! Thanks for saying such awesome things. There must be friends in the midst. I'll attempt to answer more questions if I can. Kime is an artist friend from LA who gave me a beautiful parting gift when I left there. The majority of the other art was given to me by friends. The ceramic colored pencil holders are from IKEA. The metal bulletin board is from the Container Store. The paint colors in my main space are a combination of BM Gray Owl and Gray Mist. Oh, and those tiles are awesome. The design is based on Indian Carpets from what I understand. I love that you (thepictures) noticed the Night of the Living Dead poster in the mirror! Thanks y'all ;-) Apartment Therapy San Francisco | House Tour: Frances' Light-Filled Haven San Francisco |

Thank you guys for the lovely comments. Opening up one's home is pretty personal and I appreciate all the positive feedback. 1st off, Phillip's photo taking skills and wide-angle lens definitely make my space appear bigger than it is and do it a lot of justice. I''ll try to touch upon all that was asked, but forgive me if I don't answer everything. Let's see, I have clothes in the entry closet and behind the tree curtain in the office area. The color of the eating area is Pratt and Lambert's Deep Taupe, which is the closest I could find to that perfect brown with a violet undertone that you see in so many coffee houses. Unfortunately, I have no record of the artist who did the piece in slide 25, but I loved it so much that I bought 2 of them and gave one to a friend. The wood boxes I use as a bookcase are discarded wine crates meant for the trash which I've re purposed. The 'garden' out back is really a collection of potted plants that I've placed in my lightwell on tables and shelves. Oh, as as far as neatness goes - I merely cleaned up before the photo shoot - you should see my office now ;-) Thanks for letting me share.
