Small Cool 2011

i like your style so much!! very cosy and elegant... your coffe table in front of the sofa is great; i vote you :)

This is my fave of all the entries so far. Love it!

Would love to know where your pillow cases came from

i love how purple works in your apartment!

My very favorite so far! Love it!

Love your space! It feels very chic and welcoming... your lamps are perfect :-)

Love it all! Your place is my favorite of all. Do you do interior design?

it's the Bricks and wood that makes your space a winner - youre fortunate already, dont have to win a Prize, (you) already have something great =)=)

Love love, i feel! Favorite entry of all, so far!

Thanks guys! The pillow cases are just from HomeGoods (the TJ maxx homestore.) The pouf was a splurge and I can't remember the name of the store. On east 4th street in NYC. Will get back to you.

Oh my goodness... I love this! Great use of space!

Wow! I am really impressed! I love how well you kept everything to scale and how un "big box store" your place looks- very beautiful!

This place is so perfect! I want to live in this apartment!

This is fantastic! I love the details - lovely bedding, the lamp on that silver piece of furniture, and the Keep Calm and Carry On. Very cool.

Beautifully designed and great use of limited space. Bravo.

love it!

I love the flowers and the vases! Where are they from?

Great! Voted for you, but I think the last word on the best position for the bed has not been said...

Very cozy. I'd love to know what brand and model of stove that is.

This is the first entry I've "liked" - because I simply LOVE it! What beautiful style!

The only thing we could figure out for the bed was diagonal so I didn't dominate the room (it didn't fit against the far wall because of the fireplace, and the shutters made it hard on the sides). The stove is Avanti, the vases are Pier 1.

Missed the fireplace.

you did an AMAZING job with this! and to think i'm weary of sharing an almost 900 sq feet apartment with my boyfriend...if you can do it in this amount of space there are no excuses for me! :) gorgeous!

Would love to know where the couch came from.

Couch is apartment sofa at Pottery Barn.

J'adore.

For something this teeny-tiny, it looks so cozy and spaceous. LOVE LOVE LOVE what you've done with the amount of space that you have.

I absolutely love everything about your space except one thing....Does EVERYONE have that Keep Calm Carry On poster!? Holy crap I'm tired of seeing it.

WOW...that is TINY!!! Don't know if I could manage in a place that small...but somehow you make it work.

I agree about the "Keep Calm and Carry On"- I got it 3 years ago when I had never seen it anywhere- I have thought about switching it out- but I have to say it really does calm me down and I love the design of it. Maybe when I get my next job I will buy another piece of art!

The yellow pouf - where did you get it?

Wow. I mean, wow. Great job

The yellow pouf is from John Derian. They have GREAT colors! That was a splurge.

Inviting, warm and elegant. Well done.

Would love to know where your sofa is from! The whole space looks very cozy and elegant... wouldn't have thought to angle the bed like that, but I like it.

I love the kitchen. Wonderfull.

Very nice - and how fun to live in an 1830s house, even if it does mean having to be creative about the use of space.

Fan-freaking-tastic. Love it! I especially love how you've used the height of the ceilings to your advantage. Well done.

This is wonderful, great job!!!

Bravo!

Perfect. This is what I come to AT for. (And I still love Keep Calm and Carry On, even if it's a cliche, because it's a great... statement, somehow. I find the sentiment strengthening.)

I really enjoy this.

Lovely space but not my style - too many designs for me. Still, classy!

Gosh, that's a cute little kitchen.

Love it! I hope you win!!! You got my vote :)

I love your place! So cozy! I would love to know where you purchased your coffee table?

@Skylark1992 Thank you! I bet your dorm is cute! And as I said before I feel ya about the Keep Calm and Carry on, but I have had it for years and it does calm me down! Maybe when I make a little more dough I will buy a new piece of art.

@Sarah1215 I got my coffee table at a great Antique's store in Tiverton, RI called "Peter's Attic" - he has great stuff and great prices.

its so pretty and classy, such an amazing use of space. Livable and lovely!

So elegant!

I have never been more impressed.

I love it! And I love the Keep Calm and Carry On as well, I don't care if everyone in the world has one!

I kind of feel like this apartment is having a little bit of an identity crisis. The Keep Calm and Carry On poster, and the yellow print chair and yellow ottoman don't seem to fit with everything else. I think it's lovely, I'm just a little confused when I look at it.

You've succeeded in achieving the old school NY glamour....very lovely, indeed!

Impressive use of (very little) space!

So lovely! I think you did an amazing job with such a small space - it definitely stands out from the crowd. And I too am still a big fan of Keep Calm Carry On - keep it up!

I must admit I am not a fan of the diagonal bed, though totally understand you probably didn't have a choice. It just looks a bit odd.

But otherwise, love the yellow foot stool!

Have to give that lamp and small table some love. I also live in an 1800s space. Have the tall windows and high ceilings and room for art; also minuscule kitchen and no closets to speak of. It really is a trade-off. That tiny stove is adorable - any make/model info on that?

Love love love it!

The purple is beautiful. I love your combination of colors.

very charming space!

This is such a classy space - what a great use of proportion for each piece of furniture and decor, love love love. Each area flows so well into each other!

Lovely. Despite its small size and multi purpose functionality, it feel sophisticated and grown up. Poetic almost.

You have made a small space look big. I love it!! Where did you buy the chair? As for the Keep Calm poster, I had never seen it before AT and I for one love it. We can't buy the poster where I live so when you buy new art send it to me *kidding...well, not really*

Yes - a FLOORPLAN. Dynamite entry. Thanks, Arden! I learn so much from spaces like yours.

This one is my favorite. :) I keep staring at that living area hoping to absorb some of your sense of style, lol. Love the purple lamp and *especially* that coffee table. And I could definitely use that apt. couch for my small space, too!

It's de-lovely, it's delightful.

this apartment rocks my world.

Thank you so much for all the nice remarks! @S.J.P. We actually ordered the chair online from Target! They have a lot of great upholstered stuff online that looks a lot like Anthrolpology made it- but for a fraction of the cost!

A fabulous job on a challenging space! Love the eclectic mix [my style too], every detail and even the bed placement, which I actually find interesting... even if it was by default. :)
Voted for you!

Wow, this is so different from my personal style, but I am so in love with it! A lot of great unique pieces that somehow work really well together.

I feel your passion with this room, good job!

very neat

Putting the bed next to the fireplace: good idea, or BEST idea?! That's awesome! You found the coziest place!

I LOVE YOUR TINY KITCHEN

Very comfortable and liveable.

I cant understand why this hasnt received more votes - come on people.....this space is lovely. Well thought out and carefully and skillfully executed and most of all somewhere you would want to come home to. I'm hooked.

This feels cosy, yet airy and spacious - bravo! The pieces you've chosen fit the space well, and it looks very individual. One of my favourites.

It is my favorite in this catagory and I love the bed at an angle. Pretty colors you have chosen

Lovely space! And I like the Keep Calm and Carry On poster. I think it's a great phrase to live life by. I don't know if anyone asked already but where is the cream-coloured loveseat from? I'm looking for a loveseat that's comfortable and elegant - just like that!

can i ask where you found those purple lamps and the little silver nightstand?

oh and where did you find the coffee table?

ditto. love that coffee table!

i keep coming back to this piece. i cant forget how good it looks.

What a great job for such a little space. That coffee table is so cool! Don't listen to mello1, hang whatever pictures make you happy. that's the whole point of art!

LOVE. I covet your McCoy deco vases.

LOVE your place. Just so you know, you're the only entry I've actually voted for. And I've looked at tons! :)

Love what you've done with your place! It's very inspiring they way you've mixed old and new pieces into such a elegant but homey feeling despite the teeny-tiny space.

lovely home, you made your tiny little space into an actual home. love the hint of purple in your first shot and your full range of color. nothing looks out of place. nice!

You did "old school New York glamour" to perfection..right om! love the purple as well

This place is absolutely delicious...high end glamour - LOVE the kitchen

Just watched you on the Nate Berkus show. Love your design! Where can I buy the sticky wall paper?
