The curved sofa is from Room and Board in Los Angeles, and you can pick your fabric as well as get it in a slightly smaller size.

The lighting on the high shelves is the 'Grono' lamp from IKEA - usually very easy to find. We ran one extension cord up a corner seam in the wall and hid the cords behind books.

I bought the blue lamps separately on eBay and they just happened to be a 'pointer sisters' pair. I've seen similar ones on eBay since so it's worth checking out. I made the shades though as they are difficult to find in decent shape.

Thanks for the nice comments!

Hi - the brackets were from Home Depot. You can likely find them at most home stores and they are definitely rated to hold quite a bit of weight!

We would definitely consider cutting the pieces for a credenza and shipping it flat. You can contact me at pollydesigns@hotmail.com.

The sofa is from Room Service in L.A.

The doors on the credenza are lightweight and slide easily so they don't require any hardware.

The clock was a gift from NYC as we say - it was left out on the street one night as we walked home from the subway.

The high shelves in the living / dining room are solid pine. The brackets are reverse hung so you don't see them underneathe and they double as bookends.

I would call Midlands (bedroom wall color) a medium taupe grey. It is definitely more of a brown/grey than a blue/grey so it makes the room feel warmer.

The headboard above Cyrus’ bed is built with safety magnets and is also at an angle so it's very safe. . . The sculpture on the dining room table is from Pier One. . . and my husband loves a challenge, and replacing our credenza would be a good one, so yes, we’d consider selling it.

The dining room table is from H.D. Buttercup in Los Angeles and the bedroom wall color is an old Martha Stewart color swatch from Sherwin Williams that I had color matched - 'Midlands', #8323.

Also, thank you so much for the very kind comments and for letting us share our home on the site!

P.S. I realized I used the word 'life' twice in my last post (ha ha) ... I of course meant to say, that we painted it white to make the colors in the cabinet 'pop'.

The white cabinet in the dining room was used in an elementary school in the early 70's and was gunmetal gray. We had it painted white to give it new life and make the colors come to life.
