A work in progress. . .

I had no idea that a rented loft would require you to build your own kitchen and bathroom/s. The way he tweaked this open loft to create private spaces for himself is genius.

I love the idea of the second floor cave like bedroom. I would imagine that in the main space with so many tall windows, there would be a lot of light coming in not to mention the outside noise making the bedroom a quiet, private retreat. Nice...

The Ballatore style seems to be about surrounding yourself w/the things you love. I feel like I just got permission to keep my 3, rather simple collections and minimal chachkes.

For an artist, it may be more difficult to let go of those things that connect you with your inspiration. My garage full of numerous professional collections will be easy to let go of in comparison. In fact, can't wait to let them go.

Can't stop smiling...

Uniquely Ballatore. A sense of freedom and FUNction is always apparent. Totally touchable. This livable, lived-in space makes the "do it yourself" novice feel like, "I CAN do this!" A truly stylish, yet, non-threatening design.

Being a person who loves working in the kitchen, I would want some pendant lighting because of the high ceilings. Those are details significant to the owner, I would imagine, not necessarily the design itself.
