ECUADORIANA1- believe it or not I really do use the desk and am writing this message from it right now : ) I guess I live more edited and tidy then most people? This is just how I like things. The only thing that was "staged" in my apartment was the cheese and crackers which I had made for the photographer as a snack... which we ended up using in the shots. If I really wanted to stage things I would have taken away my vanity but I NEED it to store all my bathroom goodies. That, or a ton of money to give the landlord to remodel the bathroom! Any donators out there??? : )

KATHIEC- Use a level, lots of painter's tape and tons of patience! Good luck! It's very rewarding when it is finished.

MOSESKNOWS- Wow! I'm surprised you noticed that was a Morrissey quote! I'm obsessed with him and The Smiths. It is a page from a book of The Smiths photography I have.

KATHRYN1029- Thanks! It's called Granite Boulder by Behr. It's very calming.

PIDGIE- Thanks! I like the texture too! It's a very old building. I believe it was built in 1918! I do move the side table. It's on wheels! It can go behind the bed. That is the place where I can store things and keep my dirty laundry ; )

BELLABEEBOO- I got the light bulbs from a store in Santa Monica.

JUKESGRRL- like i said in the interview...if something is "trendy" and you like it, who cares, get it anyway.

LAUREN C.- Thanks! The maxi dress is vintage. It's from my friends store
www.oct18th.com.

NONIE- The deer head is ceramic not cardboard. "The whole in the wall with the curtains" is a closet. It had no doors. The apartment is a rental, so not ideal. I had to work with a very, very small space and create a functional bedroom. The cabinet is a ad on for storage being that the apartment has little and being that I could not replace the whole sink for one with a vanity for storage.

NORTHERNKATE- I'm glad you like it! The patio set is vintage. I go it on craigslist by searching "mid-century patio furniture" and spray painted it in marigold.

Also, everyone, please check out my friend and mentor, interior designer Gidget Grimaldo 's Pasadena company lemmonhill.com. You can also contact her at mariag@lemmonhill.com . She helped style the apartment for the shoot.

Thanks everyone for all the nice comments!

ROXY72 - I got the print from an etsy store.... http://www.etsy.com/people/ThePrintMakers

LYONSTILL- There is a socket on the side wall where I can plug in the lamp.

RESIDENTGEEK- Yes, I do like color and it may not be for everyone but, I think it's fun. I kept the bedroom less stimulating so it would act as a relaxing, peaceful atmosphere.
