I used white milk paint for the floor of my sun room, but shoes and cat paws have turned it gray, and while I love the chalk finish of the milk paint, it is a nighmare to keep clean because it thins when I scrub it. Have you found the BM floor paint to be scrub-able? Whatever you are doing to keep your floor white and beautiful is working. Anna – This room is beautiful!

These are great whites for tying together white furniture and textiles that have different undertones!

Sometimes I will just search for a specific thing I'm looking for (like the Jacobsen stool, but that was almost 3 years ago), but I don't have favorite sellers or anything. The only real tip I can give you is to know the manufacturer of the piece you're looking for and try searching for that name rather just than the designer. Often the maker's mark does not include the designer's name, and the seller may not be savvy enough to list the item with both names. Nearly all of my finds come from making many trips to antique stores, junk/consignment shops, and flea markets. Craigslist is great, too, but the finds are few and far between - it's just due to diligence that I ever find anything at all. Believe me, I have plenty of fruitless weekends searching for great stuff!! Alicia: I don’t really buy much on eBay, actually.
