Love TFA :) We live across the park. Yay for another St. Louis reference on here!

We have two Molly Mutt duvets and LOVE them. I used an old, stained feather comforter. Also, our Doberman likes to chew up fleece blankets and socks, so we used all of those.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions. I'm leaning towards chocolate brown (almost black) for the tables/bed frame, light neutral for the couch, and greens and or blue for the accent color. I'll probably paint the walls ivory.

I'll definitely post pictures of the finished product! (But be patient it might take a while ;)).

Casa, it's actually in St. Louis, in a neighborhood called the Central West End. It's above an art gallery and a restaurant.

I would have asked the Chicago AT but I figured NY would have more advice on studios :).

Oh! I forgot that I had a video of the apartment as well :) this might help to see the perspective a bit better.

I'm hoping to entertain people here so I would like to section off the bed. I would be open to leaving it visible if I found an appealing bed frame. I was thinking something with drawers underneath to add more storage.

The main room is about 20 x 22

here are a couple of other views:

Thanks for all the comments thus far. I cannot paint the exposed brick since I am renting. I may paint the closet and the opposite wall, but I would have to paint it back at the end of my lease.

I'm more concerned about what color furniture to bring in. I've always had more modern taste, but I'm not sure if that would match the brick. Do you think brown furniture would make the room too dark or should I try black for more of a contrast? I like octobermoon's suggestion of an almost outdoors-y feel adkmtngirl's peacocky green-blue color. I'd love to use bright accent colors against black/brown/or white furniture.

As for the room divider, I was thinking about the EXPEDIT shelf from IKEA:
