No worries, thank you! :)

I MUST know where you found the nickel floor lamp next to your bed. I desperately need a new floor lamp for my living room and can't seem to find one with up-lighting that doesn't look like it belongs in a dorm room.

Love your place. :)

First and foremost - buy what you love and what speaks to you. Art doesn't have to be expensive to be beatiful or meaninful to you. The most important aspect of owning art is enjoying living with it; the possiblity of its value increasing is then just an added bonus.

Also, a lot of bigger cities have neighborhood-wide garage / yard sales in which artists in those neighborhoods sell their works dirt cheap. I live in Minneapolis and picked up a really amazing and GIGANTIC painting at the Bryn Mawr garage sales a few years back - it was $40, done by a college student renting an apartment in the neighborhood. It's one of my favorite pieces.

My favorite thus far.

The mirror on the easel is brilliant.

This is a beautiful space but there is very little color in it. Doesn't belong in this contest.

Hunt & Gather is probably my all-time favorite store, we're so lucky to have it here in our city. :)

LOVE your apartment. They layout and placement of every element is impeccable.

I never thought I'd see the day when people who visit a design blog would freak out over a Warhol Chairman Mao print. Get with it, weirdos.

What a dreamy home. Your backyard is breathtaking.

Who is the artist of the photo in image #16? Reminds me of Andrew Moore, a really amazing photographer, and I've long been searching for prints of his works to no avail...
