I agree with the comments about Annie Sloan paint. Perfect for this style and requires no primer. They have paint and glaze to give them an "antique" look. Personally, I think they will look much better painted. They look dated to me in their original finish. If your style is more contemporary, I would choose a very high gloss paint in a bright color like fushia or bright yellow. Even white or glossy black. But I would absolutely not spray paint. I would brush paint. It takes more time but looks much better in my opinion. Spray paint is so dry and chips and scratches especially on wood. I would use spray paint only for wicker or outdoor patio furniture.

LOVE seeing that Polygamy Porter six pack holder! Way to represent! Utah has some great micro breweries (believe it or not) and being as bass ackwards as it is it also has a plethora of humorous takes on its weirdass culture. Plus that porter is damn good beer... why have just one indeed! Oh... and your apartment is well done too! ;) Love your artwork!

So cute! The back splash is genius, love the blue painted dresser and the outdoor space is charming. Even with all the DIY projects the space doesn't look cluttered. Well done! Oh, and I love the white tufted chair and round button pillows on the sofa. Which brings me to the symmetry on the sofa: it keeps it looking very tidy and pulled together! And I love the fabric on the closet door ...Okay, I'm done now...

You had me at Fornasetti pillow ;) and plate ....

I like the striped rug, but I think it competes with the striped cloth at the (what I'm assuming is) the kitchen bar, and the green striped pillow and the chevron striped pillows on the sofa. I loves me some stripes, but I'd like to see another pattern thrown in as well. Also, love the yellow sliding table who who thingamajig on the sofa, but would like to see an end table at the other end of the sofa. I think it would ground the space better. I must say, best dog bed ever and cute pup!

Thanks for 'splainin', Lauren. I had sorta/kinda figured out where the bed was the closer I looked at the pics. Let me just say, I'm envious of your particular neatness! When I lived in a studio my sofa bed was more bed than sofa ... meaning I would leave it opened for days and loll around on it like a mental patient... but I've shared too much. I didn't mean to imply that your place wasn't darling. It 'tis. I think you have great style and I really like the bookshelves and the way you've incorporated the television in them so that the wall doesn't scream FLAT SCREEN! Thanks for the clarification and good luck! I'm going to channel your neatness now and go clean out a closet! Maybe later....;)

Very innovative... but I'm confused as well... where is the bathroom? Everybody poops.

Obviously I'm too late to be the first to say that I love the string curtain! But I do! But that's not all...also love the chandelier over the small island dining table. Is that hardwired into the ceiling? It's the perfect scale for the space and makes it feel like a real dining area. The whole place is designed very well...one of my favs! It's been said before but I'll say it again...winner, winner chicken dinner!

Thank you for showing a picture of every major room/area in your groovy pad! I like it, especially that pretty robin's egg blue tile in the bathroom with the flirty curtain. Perfect curtain for that space! Sorry you have to live with wtw carpet. Death to carpet! But you've done a great job disguising it with the rug in the living room. Nicely done!

Reminds me of the Lucy & Desi movie the Long, Long Trailer. And while I admire your restraint and am envious of your ability to live sparingly (an attribute I, unfortunately, do not possess), I still have to say I love NOT camping. But kudos to you for pulling it off with aplomb! Absolutely cool and damn small by ANY definition!
