What I Love About My Home


It's the details that make up, many of them found in the flea markets in others waste things of my friends. See that every day the light that fills my space gives them a new look, new life, giving me the feeling of space changing, different. I like the variety of things and how they blend into each other. The charm of the fullness of light reflected through the windows, the comfort that each element contributes to the space, I do adore my nest.

Biggest Challenge in Furnishing My Home


The biggest challenge has been accommodating and furnish this small space and make it to my taste, my touch, getting everything ready there will be selected specifically for that space, taking the time to get everything that was going to drop. Apart from this, learn to manage such a small space, with many books, clothing, accessories. The more difficult it was to make things right clearance to make the place look spacious and uncluttered.

Charming. And my god, what a bed! I don't normally go for pop art style, but the way you do it, I'm loving it.

My favorite places are the ones like this that have me craving more photos. This place is really small yet I want to steal so many ideas.

I *love* the tufted ottoman/couch too! I'm sure a lot of people will say, "Well, it's probably not that comfortable", but I bet you can make it comfortable, and in a really small space it's a great, streamlined solution.

This small space produces a pleasant feeling of simplicity, unpretentious, no elements or sophisticated organizers. Unintentionally transmit the spontaneity that characterizes it.
It also has a consistency in his configuration due to the nature of its elements and their disposition. It feels very human, does the trick of not feeling cluttered.

I love the old flooring, the stacks of books, and the boxes and the birdcage and the trunk. It's unbelievable how people with good taste can make something this beautiful with flea markets finds or friends unwated furniture! Really makes you think! My only suggestion would be: maybe you should consider replacing the plastic kitchen shelves brackets, even ikea has few cheap options like EKBY STILIG or EKBY KÅNNA. But again, great job!

The fact that none of your pillows "match" is incredibly refreshing. Thanks!

I love your place! I really like how "accessible" it is. It's stylish, charming, and comfortable without being sterile or over-done like so many other entries I've seen that use super expensive designer furnishings, etc. I'm about to move into a new apartment and I see a lot of ideas I'm going to "borrow" here! :) Nicely done!

I think there's plenty of style and cohesion, and I too love the tufted whatever-it-is.

Funny, I assumed 90% of comments would be about the impracticality of stacked books, yet not a one! But seriously, if you wanted quickly to refer to something in one of the lower books, wouldn't it take an awful lot of time and effort?
