Hi! The piece with my name at the bottom is by Phil Frost. Not actually sure what the wall paint color is. I mounted the banjo and guitar by tying a string at the necks and then hung that from a nail. :)

Hi!
@Suem16: It's actually an ethiopian towel but I got it at Lost & Found (owned by a good friend and one of the best shops in LA), http://www.lostandfoundshop.com. The towel is by Scents and Feel.

@Secondscott: We moved to Austin last summer and I kept my position at New Image Art in LA. I commute back to LA every few weeks but in truth much of the day to day work just requires a laptop. I have a store in Austin (opened Nov. 2011) called, Busy-Being and I do most of my gallery work from there.

Thanks again for your comments and noticing Angelo's chair! I am especially proud of this piece. I love that Pigeon has so many fans - and we did recently chang her food to Honest Kitchen's "Prowl" formula and she is hooked (and possibly lossing a little weight?). There were a lot of suggestions about the living room, but it is true that this is actually a pretty small room so I opted to keep it as open I could. Someone asked about the "lazer eye cat" and I meant to answer, it's a Date Farmers print that was done as collaboration between New Image Art and POW (Pictures on Walls). http://www.picturesonwalls.com/Art_Artists.asp?Artist=The%20Date%20Farmers&Offset=0&PageNo=1

Thanks again! Answers to some of the questions: the throw on the couch I found at an Urban Outfitters about 3 years ago in Sherman Oaks, CA. The cowhide I got off Craigslist in Austin, TX but I had been looking for a long time for one to show up for under $100. Ikea currently has them for $200 as well. The basket on top of the fridge I found at a little shop in Point Reyes, CA, I don't recall the name. I've seen them around a lot with varying prices, even at Whole Foods. Here's a site: http://www.blessingbasket.org/store/?action=details&id=1120&cat=%

Thanks for the suggestion about the contact paper on the couch legs and all the other suggestions mentioned :) Yes, Pigeon should be in every picture! She definitely tried.

Thanks for the comments!! Yes - that is our place on Kirkwood! (And I'm pretty sure the owners redid the linoleum floor in the kitchen when they bought the building some years ago)
