Can This Nice-But-Dated Fixture Be Saved?
Good Questions

You could do an exact match as far as the width of the planks but paint it white, or gray or whatever color you choose AND if you don't like the curve you could cut the existing floor and butt the new flooring up against it in a straight line or maybe even just mask off a straight line and extend the paint onto the existing hardwood.

No written instructions but still a very informative and DIY-able walkthrough of Tom Rossau making an ST 903 lamp.

Did you try Ohmega salvage in Berkeley?

Also try Materials Unlimited (http://www.materialsunlimited.com/index.php). As a side note if I was your landlord I would deduct a considerable chunk of change from the deposit for the damage to the fixture. There is a reason why you are having hard time finding a replacement and why they're not cheap.

I think they will ship the tiles that make up the stoves facade and you can hire someone in US to build it.

Seems like this could be a business to go into.

I'm pretty sure that's an Alpaca fur blanket. I always see them for sale in Lake Tahoe.


Where Can I Find This Bedding?

I agree with arroyo. The curtains should be hung higher. Or you could put in some simpler roller blinds like they use over at The Brick House. Depends on the look you're going for.

You could also put a floor lamp in the corner opposite the windows for balance and a less "everything low" feel to the room if you don't want plants. I would also put different items on/declutter the console itself. If you add a few objects with heights similar to the tower speakers—I think they will stand out a little bit less.

Can you hang a pendant from the ceiling? That would definitely add another dimension, some personality and warmth.

Personally I'd say don't put the pink and black striped rug down. Maybe go for black and white if you like stripes and bring in pink with accessories. But if you have vision of what you want—trust it.

I like this pink Trina Turk Greek Key pattern rug (it's only 3' x 5' but you could buy two and put them together:

http://kristyleeinteriors.bigcartel.com/product/greek-key-hook-rug-pink

This has a geometric pattern with pink in it.

Gan has some really nice rugs (I think) and some KILIM designs that incorporate pink.

ARKITEKTURA IN SITU SF is listed as dealer on their site.

This etsy store has some fun colorful pillows.

http://www.etsy.com/shop/MaterialRecovery?ref=seller_info

I love these flamingo pillows:

Also these pink thonet chairs from abc home:
http://www.abchome.com/store/store/pc/thonet-chair-hot-pink-276p7579.htm

Which could be an easy diy with some paint and a thrifted chair.

I agree with fulinlin. Start with a neutral base and add in the color with accessories. I recently saw a living room in Elle Decor that immediately reads pink and turquoise but the only thing pink is a pouf and the backs of the built-ins painted turquoise. I think you can def. make a space using the colors you love and not have it look at all Disney.

I like this color combo. http://pinterest.com/pin/15812241/. Or you could do the reverse.

I think you could do just about any color above the white wainscotting.
