That's a great idea, and one thing people don't always know about caring for older people is that depression can be a factor. I dare anyone to get depressed in that bright room! I like how Emily gave Fran lots of storage too, for all of her stuff. Before & After: Emily Henderson Transforms a Senior's Studio Space |

Nice, I like how it is a very masculine, young man's place but the gray brings some kind of cohesiveness (unlike many young men's places which are just . . . white walls, black electronics and maybe some random posters). Daniel's Style Experiment Small Cool Contest |

This has sort of been said already, but it's important to make a distinction between a well known/famous brand piece and a good quality piece. That having been said, I can certainly understand the mindset of a collector who only wants the piece with the name on it. The problem is - when you say, "I couldn't afford it so I bought this other thing," if you can't afford it, you can't afford it. You probably would have been actually happier though if you had just bought a basic table, even something from Craigslist, until you saved up. I think the problem here is that you bought something so close to what you wanted, but not what you wanted. Coming to Terms with a Knockoff: Original vs. Reproduction Furniture Design |

Love it - I had to look through twice to realize, yes it IS a tiny place. The way you have arranged it seems so comfortable, and the big closet is a luxury for sure! Christopher's Non-Negotiables Small Cool Contest |

Wowowow!! Every single detail is thought of. I am not super impressed with grand traditional homes, but for some reason when I see it recreated in a small apartment, I just love it. Ditto to everyone who says they want to see the sleeping lofts. Jason's Luxe Factor Small Cool Contest |

I have my living room decorated in all warm colors, and I love what you have done. These colors aren't trendy at all but I love living in a cozy space and you have done an awesome job! Elaine & Adam's Cheerful & Cozy Small Cool Contest |

Yep, keep a copy in two different places. And occasionally do a restore, just for practice. It will make you feel better. :) 3 Ways I'm Working Through My Biggest Tech Phobia |

Ashley, what is your style? People are giving you very modern stuff but the couch is not all that modern, so here are some other ideas. I was thinking of a metal/glass combo, a metal/tile combo, or a printed ottoman with a tray. Everything is so neutral so far. Maybe warm it up with a little color? And this time of year there is a lot of fun outdoor stuff. Best Style Coffee Table To Suit Preston Sofa? Good Questions |

Very cute, and I disagree with those who say to section off spaces in studios . . . why pretend you have walls you don't have? I love how you use the space here. Mallory's Icing on the Cake Small Cool Contest |
