Small Cool 2011

tidy, simple, clean, so so nice! i love it!

So nice!! I like every space of your home!

I agree with everything you posted about your space and I can relate. It just goes to show you that good things come to those who wait. You are well written, you must have gone to Harvard...
Great style.

love that green kitchen wall and that great chair in the living room!

hello, I really like the atmosphere, I´d like to see more pics.. work area and that beautiful blue aisle I see

those floors are fantastic and the paint colors/furniture really set them off. Like the painted cabinets in the kitchen as well

OoooOOOoOOoOh! Love that orange wall with the cowhide rug!

I, too, am resisting the urge to complete my home in a hurry. Now I have inspiration to look at whenever I feel the urge to do so.

Handsome pad. It doesn't look quite lived in yet, but it still gets my vote.

Very nice. Love the colors. Especially like the green kitchen. :)

So orderly and clean. Love it :)

LOVE the grey on grey! I have the same issue w/ patience! :)

beautiful space - may i ask where the couch is from?

where did you get that amazing chair in the living room?

You got me with the first pic! I love the clean, serene feel of the space.

You had a great canvas to work with the the floors and windows but I love what you've done with your canvas. Styled to a T without looking over-styled. And what a great couch. Well done!

Great apartment. Love the minimalist approach, it allows the space to breathe. Well selected furniture pieces, that living room chair is just the coolest.

Thanks everyone for your great comments and support. In response to to a few of the questions:
1. The couch is Room and Board, I can't remember exactly which model
2. The living room chair is a Z-chair designed by Poulsen for Selig that I found on ebay (this one required substantial amounts of that patience, but I really like it, and am glad I waited for it)

Love the colors!

I don't know if it's the lens you used to take these pics, but the place looks a lot bigger than 744 ft. Nice place.

Where is your bedding from? Very nice.

i like the spare feeling of it - seems peaceful

Great apartment Dan! I would LOVE to know what the color is that you used in the living room. I am on the hunt for the perfect gray and this looks amazing. Thanks!

A couple more quick answers:
1. Correction - the chair is Jensen not Poulsen (I'm getting my Danish chairs and Danish soccer players mixed up)
2. The bedding is CB2
3. The grey is called Voyage by Valspar

good job!!

"It really became about balancing the feeling of being settled with the enjoyment of the process of getting there."

Very well put and as a first time flat owner I am currently going through that.

Nice results with your place, really like the lounge feel.

That chair is amazing. I did a little research and found this one at auction.

I loved the couch, but I couldn't find the colour (did you have it reupholstered?) and could you confirm that it is this one:

@Kelvin K you're right, it is the Reese. I didn't have it reupholstered, the color is Salt, under the Tatum fabric option. Up close it is salt & pepper, but from far away it looks grey

Your place is so light and open. You've done an amazing job of keeping clutter in check.

Lovely, so tiddy and bright! Not my fav colors, but nice.

I love the colors, especially the bright next to the gray.

Beautiful. Really stunning. I love that you've worked on this over time: it shows. I can see that you've put in the time to find just the right pieces.

May I move in?

Wonderful character to the basics..the floor is beautiful. Tastefully decorated and love the color.

I am absolutely in love with your kitchen. I love the pop of green. It looks fantastic.

i think the couch is from the Reese collection at Room and Board.:)

Never Mind, Dan already answered that.

Love the living room

Dan, I love the space. You should have put your cat in more pictures. What is the picture of that is above the fireplace in the living room?

@M_Sqrd Its hard to get her to sit still long enough.

The picture is the front of an old boat on a new trailer, I like the contrast of new and old in it. I got it from a great photographer I know:

Really nice.

What color is the blue paint in your bedroom? I need it in my life.

Very nice, I like the use of color throughout.

An orange wall and a cowhide rug...i am hooked.

@lemonade the blue is Soft Skies by Valspar

really serene, peaceful, clean! Love it.

Your workspace is electric. Well done.

Cool, calm and chic........you've mastered the art of knowing when to stop! Want to share your secret?

Looovvve your couch and the black chair in the hallyway. That chair would be perfect in my space so if you ever get tired of it...

The green backsplash in the kitchen is so cheery.
