WOW!!! What you've done with just under 400sf is fantastic! So glad to see non-karate chopped pillows on the bed. The trundle bed is a great idea. Your use of color and big patterns works amazingly well in this space. It looks like you have loads of kitchen storage, too...always a challenge. Great work.

this home is absolutely gorgeous! love these small, smart & beautiful spaces!!

Favorited! Can I just say how much I love vibrant, saturated colors? I especially love it when I see them in shelter mags and it's not so out-there it feels unobtainable and therefore uninspirational. I'm really digging #3 and the fact that he combined mauvey pinks and greens with the bright red, green and yellow in the blanket.

I love this place. love it. love it.

I normally am not a big fan of purple, but the dining niche is beautiful!

Wow - Great place!

um....i have to ask...
how do you have "adult" time with your child right there?

This is really beautiful. That wallpaper, 18th century Chinese! it's just stunning. I would have liked to have seen a floorplan.

I love this apartment, and even more, I LOOOOOOVE that this is how House Beautiful's new editor Newell Turner chose to usher in his very first issue. He's definitely setting an exciting new tone, and I can't wait for future issues.

What brand/model is the compact stackable washer/dryer (image 11 of House Beautiful article) in his side of the closet?

LOUD PAINT. Otherwise, I really like it. I enjoy the chinese wallpaper. :-)

Just amazing, the colours are fantastic and the place seems much bigger than it is. Absolutely love it.

WOW!!! Incredible. I am so impressed.

Fantastic! Excuse the drool...

Yes, info on the washer/dryer, please. It looks perfectly small. Does the dryer work better than the one I currently have? (It, too, is a small stacked one.) It seems to take forever so I've given up and hang up everything to dry then finish it off w/5 minutes to fluff.

Wow! I'm seriously impressed with how he uses his space.

The W&D looks very similar to my Whirpool "thin twin", which I highly recommend.

What happens in a couple of years when the kid needs her own room? How do these people have sex if their kid is right there?

Kids need privacy, too..

THANK YOU David! I have used blue-purple in my bath, a similar pink and cream in my bedroom, and a similar green in my kitchen. I have been thinking it's a bit too sweet, but now that I see it here I feel justified. :)

SO frustrated that this issue of my subscription never showed up (or was grabbed by someone else in the building). . . . HB has no back issues to send me. Rats. I'll just have to enjoy online.

How do they not accidentally step on the kid? I'd forget and step on them in the middle of the night.

I second (or rather, third) Colleta and TwitteringBirdie's comment. I find it astonishing that the interviewer didn't ask about adult privacy, an omission made even more bizarre by the interviewer's comment that the apartment is "sexy."

Love all of it except for the childs bed by the parents bed. Not so much:(

I am guessing this is not a regular residence, that it is a city space. The child probably only comes occasionally for short visits.

Not uncommon in the city.
