Is that a chaise for a cat in the first room? How cool.
There are some I like more than others but I'll take any one of these rooms over a white wall.

I had that same chaise lounge for my cat and chihuahua....until someone...peed on it. :-) love the pink couch.
I like that you chose a good percentage of rooms that aren't just blatant, over-saturated hues. Color doesn't have to scream to be heard!
Hello, black and white rug from Photo 4. Come live in my home, and you will be loved and taken care of. Speaking of, Apartment Therapy community, I move to Brooklyn next week, and the landlord requires we put down rugs on our hardwood floors. Does anyone know where I can buy affordable rugs?
ahahaha, i didn't even see the cat bed at first. purrrrfect.
@lvzink Check out the canopy shag rug from Walmart of all places - got a few in runners for my dogs, and so impressed with the quality/price ratio that I ordered a larger one for the living room (at least until I see one that makes my heart race:-)
My dogs have a white leather Le Corb, but of course they never use the darn thing!
