Ha! My old apartment is #1 and my new apartment is #7. Glad to see I was able to make 2 small spaces work well and make a statement!

Could you give the source for the see-though media cabinet in the guest room? Lovely apt.

Hi all-
Thanks for the comments. The wallpaper is Graham and Brown. You can order it online. My husband and I did it ourselves and it is surprisingly forgiving bc it's dark and the attention is drawn to the pattern- not the imperfections!

The shower curtain is maremeko at Crate and Barrel. I think they still have it there.

Where did you get the shower curtain and the sconces in the bedroom? Are they vintage?

Incredible. Love the green and wood accents. It's fun, adult, organic and kid friendly at the same time. Absolutely gorgeous.

The shoe storage is ingenious! That's definitely one of the biggest challenges in a small space especially when you have big feet like me! I'm a size 13 women and my husband is a 12 men. Our shoes alone need their own apartment!

Great taste in selection of furniture and art. Adult yet fun and unpretentious. Very warm and welcoming.

This doesn't at all feel slick and modern. It feels cozy,warm and worn in.

Great use of space. I'm glad you splurged on the granite. When you have a small place, it's worth installing quality product because you don't need a lot of it. When I was redoing my floors in my 350SF apartment (Alex and Corey's pre-war tenement), I had a lot of people telling me to use the laminate flooring but it was so worth it to get hard wood. Makes a real difference!

Hey Underhill- We're looking to buy a bigger place in Prospect Heights. How do you like the neighborhood?

I have been so overwhelmed by all the votes and amazing supportive comments today. It is not easy to live in such a small space- trust me! I feel so proud just hearing all the feedback and praise. That is award enough- thank you. We really hope to find someone who will love and cherish this apartment as we have.

The bedroom color was from home depot and definitely from behr but I forget the name. Sorry.

I believe that when the building was an old tenement, they had shared water closets in the hallways so each apartment had a tub in the kitchen where they bathed. I've been told that families would put a piece of wood over the tub when not in use and it was used as a table. For more modern uses, it's great to fill up with ice and beer when you're having a party. And, you can totally monitor your eggs from the shower.

a few questions from commentors:
-The wing chair was something my husband found on the street and we reupholstered with fabric from Mood.
-The lime green paint was hard to find. I tried a few that looked like baby diaherria before I found this. It was a few years ago but I think it was a dutch boy color from Kmart.
