I am reading this post lying in my bed with a dog either side - our morning ritual and the only time they get up on the bed (though our gorgeous old Toby would LOVE to stay there all day if he coul...
We are both pack rats. But I have to agree that keeping things is not just about sentimental value. There is definitely a degree of laziness or lack of time (it is important to assign time to sort...
There was a 130 sq ft apartment for sale in Sydney for a year. I was very tempted to buy it, mostly for the challenge. I still sit down with drawing pads designing HOW I would live in it if I had ...
When I was in the US working for a while, I met up with my family in LA. They were flying from Sydney, me from Miami. Before leaving, I checked the route from the airport on the map, and worked ou...
I am jealous. This is a beautiful apartment. And I LOVE the Eastern Columbia Building. I saw it last year when I was in LA (from Australia). Truly beautiful - you ahve done everything justice.
if you're feeling creative, consider wool felt, hanging by crocodile clips (or something more robust and attractive?). While I have no idea how to incorporate - industrial thickness wool felt would...
I am often amused, when in the US, how often real estates advertise houses with more bathrooms than bedrooms. And how real estate shows say "you MUST have a bathroom on every floor" at least. To m...
I just love this. It is my idea of a perfect space to live in. I looked at a 12 m2 apartment in Sydney and spent weeks planning how I would design it to live in it, if it were mine. This is special

I started a denim patchwork quilt about two months ago, It is fun and easy to do, and it will look cute when it's finished. I only want to use clothes that are too worn out to be used again, so I ...
If you can find a low and shallow and plain book case that is wide enough, you could use it to create a head board shelf, without building anything into the wall.
I would turn the bed and put the bed head up against the wall on the left if you can. Leave the chair where it is, and bring the side table to the bed side that is then closer to us.

OMG I'm having flashbacks. I lived in a house with the exact same bathroom colors - that fleshy pink with bright blue. ICK.
I was relieved when we eventually went back to a simple bla...
Is it possible to put the bed against the wall to the right of the entry door? under window? (I am not sure what the beige-orange thing is in your diagram?)

That makes me feel so much better....
ah yes - my thoughts exactly - allows one to break things in a monumental rather than simple fashion...

Brilliant and beautiful!
