I think this is fantastic! I particularly love their kitchen. Tall open shelving just makes me happy.

don't see much design - just shelving everywhere.......

hipsters have shelving. w00t.

thats not very nice guys... i think its a neat little place! bravo!

It's a neat little place, but seriously, a whole article on their shelving?

Wow, some of you peeps are pretty dim.
AT has featured this couple's space before (I love love love the kitchen!), and they mentioned it again because an article about their space was recently in the SF Examiner AND AT got props in the article.

So no, it's not fluff or a whole article on their shelving.
You guys should maybe use your brain before you start being unnecessarily rude (and, for what it's worth, stupid) with your commenting.

Hellllooo, Danny!

I wonder why AT didn't link to their past post about this space. Maybe the poster didn't realize this space has been on AT before. Anyway here is the link
AT took much better pictures of the space...

Decent place but all they really did was add tons of shelving. Not really that creative.

Splaine, went through the link - it only shows their normal sized other areas.

I agree, we didn't get to see the DIY projects mentioned in the article, so it's hard to understand what the hype is about.

This place again? I think that this is the third time I've seen this place on AT. It's nice, but doesn't warrant all the attention.

This isn't knocking me out. It's OK, but given some of the creativity we've seen in the Small/Cool contest and other house tours, I fail to see what the excitement is about this place. Poor photography (vignettes, not the entire space) didn't help in any way.

I think the article was poorly written and executed, but that's not fair to this couple.

It looks like they have some nice little touches in here, that they have done some creative things on a budget, and they look happy in their little nest, and hats off to them. Sadly, the article reads more like, "wow, look at what the young peoples do with their teeny tiny places! Who would have thunk? Pillows and Ikea and Thrift Stores! And there's this thing called DIY where people actually make stuff instead of buying it at the Sundance Catalog. Wheee!"

Also, I've noticed a tendency in city newspaper articles like this one to unintentionally make their subjects into parodies and cliches by writing in a way that is completely out of touch with what many readers already know in their own lives. I mean, duh, who doesn't know about DIY, Ikea and Thrift Stores and that vertical shelving adds lots of storage to small spaces? Apparently the author of this article. Thus, we end up with comments like the "hipsters with shelves" one (which was unnecessarily snarky btw).

We get articles like this all the time in Portland, Oregon in our daily paper, and the never fail negative comments to follow. The article about the hip "creative" couple who remodeled their own kitchen on a dime (when in reality it was a 50K remodel), nearly caused a riot on the internets here and made the subjects look like spoiled "creative class" trust funder fakes.

So, the problem, as I see it, is not the decorating antics of this young couple, but the way the article utterly failed to highlight and show all the good things they praise in the article in the first place. That's bad journalism, not bad decor.

I also use a road map as a headboard (in my case it's the city of Montreal), and was thrilled to see someone else doing the same. Great minds. Round-up?
