First of all, you win for Best ScreenName. Second, here are the colors I listed in my original apartment tour from August 2012:
• Office: Behr, "Sly Fox"
• Living room: Glidden, "Natural Linen"
• Bedroom: Behr, "Evening Hush"

Hope this helps!

Thanks! Yup, it's the Tillary, and I'm pretty happy with the way the cushions stay on...even when I push them around. Totally recommend.

And: Why isn't anyone saying anything about the floorplan? (Fishing. Totally fishing.)

Good call, I had a hard time picking photos out, and knew I might get this feedback. I honestly can't believe I never got a professional, wide shot of the office!

Ned isn't worth it, @Jodi101.

@Lindaa Thank you! That office chair was a vintage find, I think from the Rose Bowl swap meet in Pasadena. It goes with the desk (which is new-ish) like it was made for it!

YOU'RE jolting, @Eco Gal! Kidding. Thanks for the advice, I've actually been thinking of switching them out for mustard ones, and your comment just tipped the scale. Thanks!

Also, Ned's kind of a jerk.

Thanks, appreciate it! As I also mention in the tour, a lot of the notes were found in Los Angeles, so of course those all have to with parking drama.

@sarahlovesapartmenttherap: Haha, yes, I actually forgot what it was called. They sell larger tension rods suitable for hanging draperies at larger hardware chains like Home Depot and Lowe's. Your landlord will love you for using them.

@Genifer: Never been to Boston, don't get out to the East Coast nearly as often as I'd like
@Chrisgreencar: The floors are from Innovation Floors in downtown LA (213)612-0942, they're a laminate, I think called "Exotic Walnut"

Thanks for the compliments and feedback, y'all! @Skaterjo, I can totally see what you mean about the vintage dental tools on the commode...I can't deny that they're there for shock value.
@1952Ranch, those curtain walls are a signature touch I like to do to hide ugly walls or bizarrely-framed windows. For renters, I really recommend a spring-loaded pole (like an oversized shower curtain pole) to hang curtains on...no hardware needed!
I'll post a few more pics later this week on my blog, I'm eager to show the inside of my medicine cabinet!
