Such a beautiful home! I love the pops of turquoise.

I should read the comments before commenting -

@old gator - I'm curious. How is the Noguchi incorrectly assembled? It looks correct to me.

@dirce79 - It makes perfect sense to me that a color consultant wouldn't have a lot of color at home. Perhaps after dealing with color all day she needs a respite from it when she comes home.

Your home is very lovely. I love all the white. You are also very lovely. Love your hair cut/color.

Leave it! It's ugly. It's in bad shape. It's slouchy so will not be comfortable. It's big so will be a pain to get rid of when you are tired of it in a couple of months. It might be cheap - but expensive in the long run. If you decide to reupholster, it can cost $2,000.

Keep looking. Vintage 50s is much better quality than this.

I actually really love this apartment. And I love that fridge! I wish I had a small fridge like this. Being a bus-walker, I only buy small amounts of groceries at a time anyway. I find this to work for me because I tend to eat fresh food, and not much frozen processed food.

Also, I love that it takes up very little space and is under the counter. My fridge is so large and takes up so much real estate in my very small kitchen.

I could live in this apartment.


House Swap: Small Things That Make a Big Difference

I was in Seattle recently, and I am in love with the city. I didn't want to come home. Your home is absolutely stunning. I would love to live there.

Two questions: I took a tour of Lake Union and the captain told us the difference between house boats and floating houses. Is yours indeed a floating house?

The other question is, can you feel movement? I am a person who suffers from sea sickness, so I wonder if I could live in a home like that.

Way too much stuff for my taste, but then again it's not my home. I love the airiness of the first picture, and was lured in with that. I love that light fixture! The rest just needs so much editing to let the real gems show. I couldn't tell which were gems because nothing is allowed to breathe.

So loving the concept of a pop up gallery. This is beautifully done.

Couple of comments to help the artists in their next model: Agree about the horse print over the bed. Either center it - or go for intentional asymmetry. As it is just a little off center, it looks sloppy.

The owl is totally creepy. Since this is a staged environment, I wouldn't recommend something as polarizing as taxidermy. Afterall, you want to help the management rent more apartments so you can keep staging.

And I must admit I was also offended by the young girl with cigarette, whether candy or not. I think that's because I saw a young teenager smoking today while waiting for a bus. Sad.

Omigosh - those white floors. Divine. I want white floors! Love how all the beautiful colors and textures pop off your floors and walls.

I love the crooked picture frames! Did you choose to leave paint unfinished? The place is adorable. I could not get past that you live in LA. For some reason the place looked like Seattle or Portland - not sure why. You are a very cute couple and a wonderful place in your life! Enjoy every minute of it! Congratulations on being able to make simplicity into something that is beautiful.

Wish I had a time machine. I'd love to travel 20 years into your future to see what your style will be like.

Though not my style, I think it looks great. You did a great job. I am having a lamp attack. I think I need that lamp in the second picture....

Love the second kitchen (why aren't these two posts instead of one?). Would have loved to see both the backsplash and the wall paper wrap around the corner and extend to the end of the wall. Right now seems a tad disjointed.

I also wish the counter top, and the island top were white, and that the bottom of the island were pink. But, I know I'm asking a lot, it's a rental. My kitchen looks no where near this good. I have a long wish list I'd love to do with my very ugly rental kitchen.

Still a huge improvement and kudos for taking a chance. Would love to see the rest of your apartment. Do you have a lot of hot pink?

Kelly, I am so insanely in love with your place, I'm speechless. That never happens. What's not to love? 3600 square feet work/live space oozing with creativity. You're awesome.

Oh my gosh, I am so jealous. What a beautiful home. Congratulations on incorporating simplicity, beautiful color and an environment where a child is welcome. It's stunning. Love the windows. Can I move in?

Oh to be living in Paris! I am so envious. I adore your darling space, you've done a lovely job. Love the color, love the large window. I love that you have proven that style can be done in a small home. Do you have plans to travel to other places? Do you have a blog? I'd love to follow your adventures.

I absolutely adore your home! I love the organic nature of it, the art work, the pottery, the simplicity. Nothing looks mass produced here. It's all very fresh. Congratulations on a lovely home.
