Thank you everyone for the nice comments and suggestions! Way more sweet things than I expected! Please give us a thumbs up! I really want that book! (I keep my expectations low :)

THE COUCH: The couch is the "Melia" sofa from a store in Studio City called DWELL FLOOR FIVE, they also have a location in Pasadena. The fabric is called "Linato Gold", and I think the legs are "espresso". We love our couch and we love the shape but we do not reccommend choosing that particular fabric. It is a little difficult to see in the pictures, but the fabric gets some really odd discolorations and we have had it for less than a year. With that said, the store has about 700 fabrics to choose from. The store had a standard size, but we had it customized, and got it extra long, and added the chaise. The chaise was my husbands idea and I actually resisted it at first because I didn't want a sectional. I now eat my words because we watch TV every night on that chaise and we love it.

RUGS ON CARPET: At first I wanted a rug, but we just haven't found the right one. My husband doesn't love the idea of a rug on carpet, he says it seems "gross". I kind of tend to agree. However, we are open to suggestions!

ORANGE SHELF IN KITCHEN: this is cheap metal shelf from Ikea that we spray painted. We looked everywhere for something to fill that really akward, ugly space. We found this for about $15 and we really like it for now.

MAP COLLAGE: This was a fun project! We found the atlas at an estate sale for a buck. We got the frames at Aaron Brothers during the penny sale, so we only had to by half of them. We ended up going back to the store about 4 times to keep getting just 2 more frames...we just couldnt get the placement right :)

I am amazed that no one shredded us for our mini-blinds! That is our next project.....

Mikey1234: Yes, its a rental. Agreed, however the tile could be worse, at least it was brand new and clean when we moved in.

Does anyone know who makes that kitchen cart that is show between the stove and the counter top???? I have a similar gap in my kitchen, and I think that cart would fit perfectly!! Anyone?????
