Thanks! Kumi did a whole series of similar paintings, this was our favorite. I would recommend keeping an eye on her!

The rug is jute, so it wears really well and really never stains (it has soaked up olive oil, wine, and orange juice without showing anything). We just have to vacuum it often to get rid of crumbs. - Ian

@masikfromcalifornia It's a semigloss.
@cpurnell It's Benjamin Moore's Baby Seal Black, the bedspread is from Dwell and the fabrics are unknown fabrics found at flea markets.
@calldoctorbison We picked those up at the Alameda flea market, there's a rug dealer there that sews damaged rugs into pillows and such. He's usually set-up at the point where I start begging Alexis to leave (midway through)

Ian here - Most of the animal elements are fake, Haha. @masikfromcalifornia - the fireplace paint was custom mixed at benjamin moore, Alexis just asked them to go as black as possible. This prompted me to make several Spinal Tap jokes.
