these guys are killing me with their cuteness and bethany, great photos as usual!

One of my Small Cool favorites, and I remember volunteering to be Adam's roommate. I guess three's a crowd :-) I have a question about that shelf with the plants that separates the bedroom. I really like the set-up, but isn't it tippy? I would imagine something that tall, thin and narrow needs to be wall-mounted. Anyway, glad to see a full tour. I recognized that shelf from Small Cool right away. I think these pictures have better lighting, too.

Hooray for love! Beautiful home.

Love it!

seriously cool, both the space & its inhabitants!

I love the media console. Can you share some info on the legs/spacers?

Many of the plants look etiolated to me, you might consider moving them closer to the window and giving them a bit more fertilizer. :)

Ha! It makes me so happy to see that I’m not the only one with a decoupaged Ikea bookshelf (pic #11)! Yours is so tidy, and doesn’t feature the crumbling old book pages that make my Expedit so… um… full of personality?

This space reminds of me of two kids' clubhouse - and I mean that absolutely as a compliment. I especially enjoy the chevron wall.

I *adore* it all. I especially like your "plant wall" and the rug on your wall. Bravo!

Lovely!

Gorgeous flat. Love the yellow (block printed?) wall! Could we have more info on that?

I love, love, love it!! I have tons of plants in my house too, makes me want to get more. :) Keep up the good work!

Wow...they managed to make their place feel HUGE! That open shelving room divider is a great idea.

My favorite details are the USPS mail bin (hilarious...I just love "found" items like that for the home) and the decoupaged bookcase.

Nevermind, I just read through the comments on your small cool entry page and found out about how you painted the wall. Very inspiring! Love it!

Hello! thanks for the comments! the bookshelf/media shelf is made of 2 10"x10' doug fir planks resting on pipe framing i configured. it's cool too because you could keep going up if you wanted (I like the low profile).
the shelf between the room could stand to be a bit more deep. i've bumped it pretty hard a couple times. it did scare me a bit but i think i'd like to do the pipe/plank shelf there built higher.
the chevron wall was taped off and painted.

thanks again!

i absolutely adore the space. i just painted my living room the same color as their bedroom. now if only i could get a similar blanket made like the duvet, my living room would be complete!
i will be taking a cue from their paint choices for my bathroom.
thanks for the amazing post. we dont often see eclectic loft spaces. they're normally very modern, cold and sparse.

I was just in LA a few weeks ago, the layout of your place looks really similar to my friends place downtown. Your not on main st are you? Above Cole's?

QUESTIONS about the rugs (incl. the dog cushion): Did you make them? If so, are they hook rugs? Or are they woven? If woven, what type of setup did you use?

Beside the rugs, I esp. enjoyed the generous use of wood in the space (including boxes, presumably for storage), and plants.

hi @digger61 I made the rug on the wall and the dog rug. they are both knot rugs. the wall rug is fleece and dog rug is felt.

Love. The sumptuous colours work so well with the industrial architecture and the masses of plants make it feel like a really nurturing space. Really homely and really cool. And I love your bedside lights! Did you make those?

Ah - sorry, I should have read your resources note more carefully. They're genius!

That picture with the whole family on the bed- soo cute!
Nice apartment, love the originality and uniqueness.

I love love love this home! The lines are clean and open, but the great use of texture --- textiles, wood, pottery, the lushness of the plants, and that painted chevron wall with its beautiful imperfections --- gives it such warmth!

I see a lot of lovely homes on AT, but this one has me taking mental notes: Adam and Daniel's example can teach me a lot about balancing spareness and texture.

Great airy space. Modern, but homey. I especially like the fabric (or is it wallpaper?) on the wall.

Cute! I love the yellow painted wall and all of the plants. We have the same kitchen island!

so fun and creatively lived in...N I C E !!!

i love the tons of plants allover!

That is too cute! I adore your kitty cats and the big smiles!

LOL Sissy Spacek!

Very nice! Love all the plants and all the pets! Love it that the cats don't make an appearance until you get to the bedroom....typical cats!

What a happy home and an adorable couple. Thanks for making me smile!

Those bedside lamps are genius.

Very nice atmosphere boys, I love it.

WEll you talked about the couch but then there wasn't a picture of it except from very small angles. I wanted to see it. Is it from patches of jeans?

Loving how homey and personal it all is. I am so sick of "curated" homes, and this one feels vibrant and alive instead of contrived. I swear I'm not meaning this in a bad way, but the word that popped to mind was "hipster". Hipster love!

Two gay guys in a 'pier one' studio in downtown LA, quelle suprise! Actually, reminds me of my first partner and I when we started out :)

I love the guys the best and their animals. I wish my cat was dog friendly. The flat is put together with love, you can tell. Love it for that reason alone.

Oh how I wish I had a green thumb. Love all the plants. Don't your kittys try to eat them all? We had a big ol' Mainecoon that would even try to eat our aluminum Christmas tree. He did manage to get some tinsel one year and, well...I won't go into details but he earned the nickname "tinsel butt" for a while. Not that it matters though, I can't keep plants alive, cat or no. I got a big brown termite chewed thumb.

Mr. Modtomic

I love this; one of my favourite tours so far. It's so cosy and homely and you just know that you'd have a great time visiting Adam and Daniel. The plants are brilliant and, if that wasn't already enough,they are fans of Nick Drake, too!

I missed this in the Small Cool competition, otherwise I would have voted for it! Love the plants, the DIY and the cute animals.

I was also hoping to see the couch since it was mentioned so much.

Nice to see a home with so many plants!

Love the dark wall and colorful quilt in the master! Nice job guys, great casual feel to your home. Very inviting!

Love the yellow wall and the patchwork quilt but most of all I love that your screen name is Pogue Mahone - genius! I wish I'd thought of that!

Well, this just about the cutest couple. Ever.

I love the *feel* of this apartment. It feels warm and lived in, well curated with happy, healthy pets and plants.

Wonderful, much loved home- thank you for sharing it with us.

Love love love this place. Adam wrote on our small cool entry that our apartments should hold hands and march to the top together! I STILL would be honored to do so. I love a place that shows the personality of its owners. Even without the personal pic, I pictured who lived here, and the pic just solidifies it. Super dooper guys.

Love lives in this house! It is so refreshing to see a home filled with coziness. Adore all the plants (my daughter has 80) they seem to warm any place up and I envy anyone who can sew. The duvet cover is beautiful. Did you not show the couch because it is a work in progress? AND what a cute couple!!

Ahhhh Hipsters. You gotta love 'em!

I definitely dig that yellow wall, and the dark paint in the bedroom is gorge. Love that color.

Thanks Rich!

Sorry to comment on the pets, your home is sweet too, but how gorgeous are your tabbies? Could be the world's happiest family :)

What is the blue color you used in the bedroom? Love the dark colors!

Do we get to see the couch?

not sure why the couch didn't make it in the tour, but i took a photo for the small cool contest. of course its not as great a photo that Bethany can take but...http://community.apartmenttherapy.com/contests/smallcool/2011/entries/1155

You two look like you are having entirely too much fun :-). I've found very well-priced, extra-wide fabrics at seattlefabrics.com. I especially like their washable natural nubby muslin for around $10/yd. I've seen people get synthetics in the theater district of LA, too, but the extra wide stuff can be very pricey. I'll bet you can even paint on the fabric. Your place is really enjoyable.

OK before I even look at the tour...coolest cat names EVER :)

Frank Stella in rug form. Nice!

I love the painted wall too, just wanted to point out that it the pattern is pretty similar to a Joel Dewberry fabric, just in a different color.

http://www.joeldewberry.com/MMSunnyDay.html

So if you like the pattern but don't want to commit paint it on your wall, you can just make yourself a cushion :)

Very awesome job in transferring the fabric to a wall though, serious taping skills!!

everything everyone else has already said: warm, balanced, full of love... but the detail i keep fixating on is the wrapped cords on your bedside lamps! well done! what a simple way of making something ugly and un-disguisable into something fun and beautiful! did you use embroidery floss?

Boys I know plant collectors when I see them, you guys so are! The greenery is fabulous, what a lovely vibe you must have in your home.

If you boys were in Australia I would post you some cuttings!

Thanks so much for all the kind words everybody. And thanks for allowing us to share our home and ideas. Thank you!

i spy the new bill callahan record! sooo good. both the album and the house tour.
