Small Cool 2011

Beautiful! The brick walls are amazing!

Love the nook in the kitchen for storage, great use of space

This has everything a couple needs, plus style.

I love your place and your style! You did a great job using the space to its best advantage.

1.The placement of those knobs in the kitchen seem unfortunate.
2. A lot of ikea boxes - whats in them 0.0
3. Awesome green skull

Love your kitchen!

390 square feet? Coulda foooled me.

Love:
1. Commitment to a singular color done well.
2. White kitchen against brick.
3. Mismatched chairs.
4. Ability to carve out all separate rooms a home needs.
5. Pug.

Makes sense to have the bigger kitchen/dining area for your needs. You did an awesome job, I love how it looks lived in but not over-cluttered nor over-styled.

Who and where did you get that couch? Looking for something very similar to that for my new space

Love your space-Looks so much bigger than 390 sq feet! Also would like to know where your couch is from, as well as the kitchen table!

Very classy. Uncluttered but inviting.

Love the easy, lived-in look of your home. It's very inviting.

390 sqf with dining space for six is pretty awesome.

Wowza KITCHEN!!!

Love it... but don't quite buy the square footage. Kitchen looks too big. Love what you've done with it!

One of my favorites. Excellent work!

Fabulous! For those who question the square footage, the floor plan has measurements. They add up!

That's pretty much the most perfect shade of green ever. I hate green paint. I love this green paint. It is fantastico. What's the paint?

Very very nice. I like the way you have confidently used patches of all sorts of greens, not trying just to match that wall - it really works.

Swoon!

Love the brick walls.

For real, 390 sq ft? Wow, it looks super huge!!! Nice job, the green wall is fantastic, I love the black and white kitchen....! Great space. Love exposed brick walls. I think a house tour is in order, no?

Awesome! Green is one of my least favourite colours, but I still think it looks great here! It's the perfect amount, and I like all the different shades of it in various accessories. The black in the kitchen looks so good against the white cabinets.

And of course, your dog is such a sweetie!

Great job, what a beautiful apartment.

Someone is obviously from Idaho. Love it!

looks so much bigger than 390 sq ft! love the brick wall and the gallery over the t.v.

Loooove the nook with exposed brick in the kitchen. Beautifully organized...made my heart pitter patter!! Oh and how cute is your pug!!!!

This is one of my most favorites yet! It looks roomy and so cozy - amazing job on decorating for the space!! :)

This apartment is so very well done. Congratulations!

Not sure if it's because camera angles, but god your place looks way bigger than 390sqft! amazing! so clutter free and bright! I have most to learn from you. you have my vote, Cammie! and oh god the exposed brick wall.. we need more homes like this in SF.. =)

Loving the mismatched-but-joined-together-by-white-paint chairs.

Love the black wall in the kitchen! Since my cabinets are white, I think I'll consider painting at least one wall black. Good job!

Practically perfect.

The kitchen/dining area looks like a great space to hang out!

Love how you have used your color palette, and yes, I am a big fan of green, too. Bravo!

Love the charming kitchen/dining area. It's so inviting. Fashionable and rustic at the same time!

Love!! Well done! The green, the pug, the exposed brick in the kitchen, drool....

My space is very similar to yours in the fact that I have two fairly big rooms. I went the other way though, have a combo kitchen/living, so the living area is small and a huge bedroom. Made a little office space in the bedroom. But thank you because, you've given me another option if I feel like rearranging in the future or want to get the office stuff out of the sleeping area (bad feng shui). Another thought was to possibly separate the office at night with a curtain using the full room ceiling track from west elm. Hmmm...

OMG, exposed brick makes me swooooooon! This place is SO dreamy! Instant favorite!

i'm loving the deep jade wall + yellowy-green accessories against the brick!

That is one beautiful kitchen.

Love the mismatched chairs...Thinking of something similar for my own dining room :-)

*heaps compliments* upon the Apt, contestant and pug !!

I want that pug.

And your space is lovely too.

Definitely my favorite...I love the teal/green color, exposed brick and black in the kitchen. It'd be cool to have some of it chalkboard paint for "to do" lists. Also, I love the mismatched chairs, and artwork collage. I LOVE IT!

one of the nicest i've seen here. bravo!

You're in my category and I still voted for you! gorgeous.

Awesome kitchen space, and I think it's a great choice to put a large dining table in the kitchen and put all the "living room-y" things in with the bedroom. You really have a wonderful public space and a separate wonderful private space. Since most friendly gatherings revolve around food, why not just put them in the kitchen? Your place isn't big enough that you'd ever be hosting the huge, cluster around the TV Superbowl/Academy Awards party anyway, so keeping the curl up, cozy intimate space with the bedroom makes sense.

I really love the white painted kitchen chairs, genius! Congrats fellow teeny-tiny dwellers.

the teal colored & brick walls are just perfect.

Something about the wood dining table and mismatched white chairs and white flowers in clear vases makes me want to swoon.

Love the green wall, and the pug.

1. The placement of the kitchen knob handles is quite unfortunate. I originally planned to move them, but didn't really trust my skills and have learned to live with them. We just extended the lease a year, so maybe I'll revisit that ambition.
2. EVERYTHING is in the Ikea boxes. DVDs, video games, extra bedding, art supplies, tools, pug towels and blankets, rarely used but important pug things, files, electronic accessories, etc. And there are even more boxes that you can't see in these pictures!
3. Thanks! The boy thought his skull piggy bank would creep everyone out, but it seems to be a big hit.

@azaleasmoke

The paint color is "dark teal" by Pratt & Lambert, found at my neighborhood True Value.

@dlach

I'm actually from Kansas, but I know lots of great people from Idaho! I found the map next to the recycling bin at my old apartment building. I had to rescue it.

@everyone else

Thanks!

Love your home ...
brick & wood are wonderful!
Great use of wall space for art display
Love your storage solutions in the kitchen!
- swooning over brick built-in
- food storage looks like art in that brick built-in
- black boxes in your kitchen are genius ... they just blend in (I almost missed them)!

You're so cute! You obviously love that great shade of kelly green, and just go after it with both total abandon and careful control. Well done, it's a fun approach!

I like the green wall.

delightful. so cool that you have been able to accomodate a big kitchen table. and the Idaho map is fun!

I finally broke down and voted for another contestant in my category. :) I really am in love with everything about your place - the teal is fabulous, the division of space is done really well, and I love that I'm not the only one who stores pretty much everything in the upper reaches of the kitchen!

Very nicely done indeed.

I like your home so much

it's amazing, love the green.
