Awesome art. Love the different pieces you have that just fit this space perfectly without overwhelming the small space. Like the storage opportunities built in under the bed. I imagine you have an ethnic background. For me, anyway, I understand the importance of these positive and inspiring images being displayed prominantly. For others it is simply extraordinary art.

Simple and lovely.

Corey,

Thank you so much for sharing your home with us. At first I thought clutter too. Although I tend to like clutter myself so I have to fight against the urge to keep things all the time. But understanding that you are a mature resident, it makes sense that you would have this much stuff and it makes sense to you and you can navigate around in it. Younger folks are more concerned with the appearance of self and surroundings whereas mature people just wanna be comfortable and tend to care not as much about what others think. Paid dues in life already.

Also love the fact that you say, "They should design sustainable homes for older people instead of putting them in "OLD FOLKS HOMES". Excellent way to put it.

I am just now realizing it's a repeating shape. I do recall seeing it and thinking it looked like a dinosaur foot print, only less rigid. It also reminded me of the word beginning - like a blob of clay that you can create a general shape and mold it into whatever you want. Much like the apartments and dwellings featured on this website. Thanks for the story.

It's something neat. Like a neat concept on the red carpet of a great fashion show. But I'm not sure that it actually translates to a piece I'd want to live with everyday for a long period of time. Maybe not a rug for a main room but maybe for a study. Better yet. I would much more appreciate it on a wall with a grouping of accessories in the same main color or color group.

Lovely!!! Excellent Reno! I tackled a completely paneled house years ago. Covering panels ain't easy. But it can be done with marvelous results. This room is now warm and inviting and you aren't distracted or engrossed with paneled walls. You can actually enjoy this warm room!

Some of these comments have been a little harsh. Something else is afoot here. It's a cute studio. I would love to see pics of some of YOUR homes...

Such a cute Studio! Would love to have this if I had to settle for less square footage. A studio is really all you need and the bathroom and gallery kitchen are just enough. She knows how to mix large and small to make everything fit.

I just ran across a cowhide and wondered how appropriate it would be since I probably can't get my hands on a zebra hide that's affordable and guilt-free.

But it actually works nicely in this space. I love, love, love all the knick knacks! Coming home to treasures you enjoy and making them part of the decorating is what it's all about. Yes. I respect clean, uncluttered lines. But in an age where unimaginative staging has run amok, I love this personalization. It's exactly what you'll find in my cottage.

Come home, see things dear to you that make you happen and appropriately blend in with your lifestyle and decorating choices.

btw, love the Prozac "candy dish" -- funny but also a sad commentary on our society's relationship with prescription pills. Like pieces, even accessories, that make a statement.

Although the purple lamp is not my taste, I can appreciate it's synthetic cuteness and size for a small table.

I'm a fan of french provincial. I adore tufted furniture and french prov-inspired reproduction. Of course, in taste, tufted should not be in every piece in a room lay-out. Readers who like AT's leaning towards Mid-Century decorating will find these pieces, well, disturbing and obtuse. LOL!

That chair is a masterpiece. Too much in my opinion for everyday living. Not sure that I could come home year after year seeing that piece. But if I had a large house or loft, it would be a superb have-to-have conversation centerpiece.
