I really really appreciate posts like this AP! I live in a pretty small apartment - 450 sqf - that still somehow manages to be a two bedroom. It is incredibly helpful to see some of the popular decorating ideas realized in a tiny space that I can relate to! Maybe by next year I'll be ready for Small Cool myself! :)

Might be a little much purple for me, but i adore the grey and white stripes in the sleeping nook!! It's such an unexpected little visual surprise when looking around the apt! Fab!!

I can't say enough how impressed I am by the wall colour you've chosen for this room! I love all shades of green, but I've always been wary of green for a large room. This looks fantastic! I'm inspired!

Such a calming environment! I just want to curl up here and unwind.

Sidenote: I believe my Mother has one of those patterned chairs, if there the ones from Anthropology. She had never even heard of that store...just walked into one one day and was smitten with that chair! Bought it right off the floor! LOL

If I could afford it, I would gladly pay more for a great view. Or rather, compromise on other apt features to get a great view in my price range.

My parents have a place on the 24th floor in a building in Rosslyn VA. They are right on the river and have the most amazing panoramic views of DC, from the National Cathedral all the way to the Pentagon! And the place has huge floor to ceiling windows in every room to make the most of it! At night I like to turn off the lights and just sit on the couch staring out the window. Priceless!

I love the idea of a solid turquoise colour on the walls, with maybe a slight ivory white trim.

But I don't know how that would work with the rest of ur blue rooms...

I may be the odd man out but I kind of love that little bricked nook over there. I think what you can do with it will depend on what you plan to do wit the room as a whole.

The pic makes it seem quite dark...are you planning on maybe painting over or removing the wood paneling? If the walls were a nice warm colour, you could keep the natural brick. Or if you plan on keeping the walls as is, you could maybe paint the brick a soft white.

If it were me, I'd paint it, put some corner shelves above it, throw in a big ol' bean bag or some large plush pillows and make it a little reading nook...

This is such a cute place! I adore all the old moldings and built-ins and I LOVE that kitchen!! This place is totally my style!

I would have loved to see a photo of that old stove you mentioned. I myself have a gas-on-gas stove from the 50s in my apartment, and I've designed my whole kitchen around it's enameled retro vibe!

This is a fantastic space and I love LOVE your kitchen! But yeah, those couches are killing me. They do look comfy though...maybe the same style in a different leather colour??

I am really intrigued by your brown bedroom. It seems so calming! I'd love to try something like that in my bedroom, but the walls are so horribly pocked and uneven...matte paint just would not work. :(
