Small Cool 2011

it must be the colour..im very attracted to this space =)

ack

What a cool bathroom. I like the originality in the use of the first aid kit. Swell.

Incredible attention to detail - bathroom is out of this world!

I'm looking for a "low-loft" bed similar to yours ... where did you get it? Or if you built it, specs?
Thanks!

Inspired.

love the loft bed with the storage under! Great!

The 80's colour scheme makes the place so playful and unique.

I love this! Great layout and all of the cool trinkets really add a lot of character. Nicely done!

Love the bathroom. Kitchen feels too much like 4th of july...... But hey... It works for you!

I love the bed! Is Like my bed when was a child.

Love that sofa! Great find!

INCREDIBLY charming!Great attention to detail.

You did a great job on adding umpf to such a small bathroom.

The idea of a high bed with just a regular step ladder to climb up on is so cool. Do you feel like Tom Hanks in the movie Big when you climb into that thing? I stay in hostels and when I end up in the top bunk I always think "I am too old for this crap!" Do you ever feel like that when you climb up there?

Wow it is hard to really make a kitchen look good when everything is out in the open but you made it look visually pleasing.

Really cool and fun. I love those motorcycle towels in the bathroom. This place rocks!

I love the closet hidden under the bed. :)

I love the kitchen! Really, the whole place is adorable!

love it! So well designed, and in such a small space!

good job! although... you might think about something more like this for getting to your bed

Thanks to you, I am going to hang the first-aid kit.

@heatherC - that is so cool! thank you for posting! of course i'm always looking for things that are multifunctional, and i've never seen anything like that before!
@besscake - the apartment came with the lofted bed. it's really like a built-in because it's the only storage in the apartment.
@housevoyeur - you know i have to be honest that when i first looked at the place i wasn't sure about the lofted bed, but it's the perfect height....it's really just a couple steps up, but just enough to feel like a bedroom up there! i've come to really love it.

I love your place.

So adorable! And I agree that bigger isn't necessarily better!

it looks so much bigger than it is!

The use of vintage and functional items for their design is wonderfully executed. Love the punches of color from these elements. I liked that you didn't avoid showing the bathroom which is so tempting to do when there are dated elements. Brave and Bravo!

Where did you get your couch? It's great.

I love this. So small, yet so full of style and stuff without looking crazy-cluttered.

You made great use of such a tiny space. Lovely.

Kudos, you did a great job with this small studio.

Awesome bed and closet area.

The rug in the first pictures looks super familiar, but I can't place it. Help me out? :)

There is so much personality in this space! Well done!

Very snazzy! Great job making this small space look airy, hip and inviting all at once.

Great use and placement of colors w/in the house. I especially enjoy the bed/ladder and under-storage concept.

love the sofa; was it a thrift store find or something more widely available?

@pamelaL and @brianmac - the sofa is from west elm!
@smuckleness - the rug was custom designed so i hope you haven't seen it anywhere! :)

I love this apartment and the styling of it! I like the vintage meets modern feel and the little splashes of color. I especially like the picture of the baby playing in the clothes rack!

Very neat! The robot on the living room shelf and the toilet paper made me laugh :) The bed is really cool and I love the kitchen.

It's so hard to make a studio livable but you're right -- the layout separates the living areas really nicely and you've taken great advantage of that. Nice light, too, especially for a ground floor, that you've maximized with your color and furniture selections. Bravo!

I love the coffee table. The repetition of color is fabnificent. Lipop approves!

Cool bed!

Great use of your space, and I love the splashes of color everywhere. The best thing is that is so unpretentious and liveable.

Perfection!

great apartment!

Love the apartment, I'm completely enamored with the bed!

very well done! great use of the space and that built in lofted bed would've totally sold me on the place. I get a kick whenever I get the chance to hop into a lofted or bunk bed lol.

Love this space! Pleasantly eccentric items that aren't overdone, but complement each other and the apartment beautifully. Well done!

Love your place, Jason!
