I echo everything "Asticat" and "Miami's Elaine" said...

I never stop liking certain color palettes, but I outgrow my ardent obsession for them. My color phases correspond to life phases, as well...and I do mark these as milestones in my head.

click212 ~ THANK U...your comments are refreshing. :)

Gorgeous...to both the Airstream and dude. :)

Beautiful and functional, and I assume your particular guest appreciates hand-crafted things? I think that adding beautiful, special touches to pragmatic creations is something that the Japanese do by custom, and it's really lovely when people choose to make the ordinary, extraordinary! <3

In response to SFview's comment, "You have got way more time on your hands than most people I know," my one-word response: PRIORITIES.

It was only a few weeks ago that I realized one of the upsides to interminably rainy days (I live in LA, where it never rains): NO DUST!

Apart from the areas of the kitchen that are affected by grease splatters, I reckon that in climates where the air is dense w/ moisture, dust accumulation's not much of an issue (relatively speaking...).

OH, THE MYOPIA...

I also agree w/ MsDonnaGirl: "It's interesting that such creative/artsy/interior design junkies can't accept an aesthetic other than their own. "

It seems that some of the (snarky) commenters only see what's before their eyes, and nothing more (i.e., taking things LITERALLY).

What I see are sound design principles that translate to other design styles, should Kristen decide to redecorate or work w/ a client whose aesthetic is something other than her own. I also think (and this is only through inference) that this studio apt does not define or encompass the entirely of Kristen's aesthetic preferences.

Some people are SO quick to make assumptions and reach firm conclusions w/o first asking the questions which would give them necessary insights...it's called IGNORANCE, but such is Nature. :)

OF COURSE Kristen should be proud of herself!! She's organized, resourceful, allows PURPOSE to guide her decision-making (always foolproof), and has everything she needs in a small space...qualities the haters on this page DON'T have...otherwise, they wouldn't question how she manages to live (happily) in a small space.

As one who also relishes small-space living, I completely understand the appeal of not having to WASTE my time and energy on maintaining a home, much of which doesn't get used (i.e., why is it the necessary [for all] to have a HUGE bed taking up a room that remains empty except when you're unconscious? Is it worth it for everyone to work and earn all that extra money for that amt. of space?). Some people need McMansions to fill up their (possibly) empty souls, while others are quite content to comfortably live in a trailer, boat, or studio apt. w/ only the beautiful and functional things that they need. <3

I could see that a whole lotta love's gone into this place...very charming, and I love the little vignettes that you've created all around the apt. Beautiful photos, lovely house tour. <3

How about a trompe l'oeil mural? Or a silhouette mural?

All of the dogs are ADORABLE! <3
