apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Oh, I loved this darling Silver Lake apartment so much! Congratulations Greg and Em on the article in ReadyMade.

I'm falling in love with the sideboard/table between the speakers on the opening page. We're looking for something similar for our turntables. Can anyone source it?

Shannon - I think it's a vintage Bang & Olufsen hi-fi cabinet.

Cool! Did you paint the bathroom (since the Small Cool Contest)? I remember loving that shelf wall treatment. And I haven't seen your place on SSBS yet -- wasn't it coming up?

Heather: Thank you for the kind post! You're always welcome to come on over :)

pbphoenix: Since the smallest, coolest contest we've only painted around the tub. Are you referring to the scan lines showing up in the photos above? We're supposedly marked to be on SSBS on episode #402, so I'm guessing the next season?

shannon: Erin T is correct in identifying the original rosewood B&O stereo component cabinet. You can occasionally find them on eBay (I've seen them only twice). It's my prized online find :)

I love all the colors they've used. And all the little nooks look so cozy! Lovely!

First, I love the house. It has a nice fresh feel.

I have been seeing quite a few bedrooms similar to this one, where the bed extends all the way to the walls. My bedroom is very small, and I have to have my queen size bed up against one of the walls. It makes it a little difficult to make the bed, especially when I change the sheets! The one above must be double the work! Any tricks to making this kind of bed easier to make?

I love the yellow paint and the blue/grey in the bedroom. Can you reveal the paint colors?

Kudos on such a beautiful and compact pad!

Hey, is that suppose to be a plasma or LCD TV in the first picture, it's cool that they replace it with a clock and a mirror to reflect yourself, and watching who's behind you.

I need help on the same thing as Kate in Maine. My bedroom is wall to wall bed and making the bed is way too complicated and usually ends up with me sprawled out on the bed trying to get the sheets over the corners, after which I'm always tempted to just take a nap. Plus, the door to my backyard is through my bedroom so if anything's going on in my backyard everyone sees my messy bed.

LOVE IT! Yay for Greg and Em! Your home is so amazing...

The place has a warmth to it that I can't even put into words.

Kate & Rebecca: I recommend getting a platform bed frame, since moving a single topping mattress is much easier than the traditional 2-3 piece setup. We also tend to use layers of thinner, less fluffed up bedding (silk comforters are actually fantastic at retaining heat even with less apparent filling) to make it easier to make the beds.

Tara: We used a combo of Behr and Benjamin Moore brand paints (the B. Moore is so much better); I'll have to look back to find exactly which paint mixture we used from their swatch books.

yima: that's actually an old vintage mirror-clock with shelves. But it's been actually replaced recently with a flat screen as shown here:
