I absolutely love FLOR tiles. I just installed them in a bedroom for a client. They are perfect for those who have pets and/or children.

I also love how crisp the look is. Their precision cuts make them perfect for those of us who have extreme OCD.

Kudos to FLOR!

Congrats to Beth and Heather!

I had the runner up room to Beth's living room. I completely enjoyed this experience. I entered on a lark and got some great responses. I appreciated everyone's comments and support.

It was exciting for me and my friends and family when we got to the finals. My mother was a wreck, but secretly she had a good time. We reconnected with old friends and family and my 8 year old nephew worked on his math skills as he gave me updates of the differences in the vote count every five minutes.

Thanks for a fun weekend AT!

I agree with the last two comments. If you find a great tenant, let them have a say. It will give them more sense of ownership and they'll probably stay longer.

I do agree that the trim should go white. A darker trim than the walls usually dates the room a bit.

One thing I will add, stay away from swiss coffee. P.U.

Benjamin Moore has some fantastic off-whites. Also, I'm kind of in love with Pratt & Lambert's whites.

And finally, where in LA is this rental? I'm looking for a new place!

Thanks for the kind words, ryumama. I'd be happy to let you know where I got those items. The dining table was made by a friend of mine, inspired by the Saarinen table. And the chairs were from an old prop shop in the OC that was getting rid of stuff.

I think you can find the chairs online if you google, "swivel cup chair."

SwedishChef - it's an old Milo Baughman bench that I found for $100. One of the legs is broken and I've always wanted to get to restored and refinished. But in this economy...you know the story. You can find it online if you search "Milo Baughman bench."

Again, thanks to everyone who voted. I'm overwhelmed by your comments!

To answer some questions, all the furniture was either thrift rescue or craigslist finds. And then, you gotta give it up for Paint. Let's hear it for Paint people.

Really cool. Fantastical. It reminds me of Tony Duquette's Dawnridge.

If it's text art you like, the good stuff is here. www.equatorbooks.com

One of the owners is an artist and he does prints like this. Really good ones. I'm looking at one in my apartment right now. I love it. Check him out. His name is Michael Deyermond. I think you can see some of it here www.takeonart.com

Wow! Thank you everyone for your kind words!

I never thought it would get this type of response.

To answer a few questions, I did paint the stripes myself along with a good friend who encouraged me to finish.

The sofa is vintage. It was rescued from a thrift store and I had it reupholstered.

I am not an interior designer by trade, but would love to be one. To all who would like me to do their place, I think I can fit you into my schedule.

And yes, my total bad. I apologize for my orthography. I meant "palette" as in color palette. Not "palete" as in the misspelling of palate, AKA the roof of one's mouth.
