What was one of the biggest challenges you faced in furnishing your small home? I found it most difficult to find small furniture that wasn't super expensive. Patience along with lots of thrift store, craigslist and estate sale searches has made all the difference.

Very cute!
A couple of the rooms remind me of something from a Doris Day movie.

I like it. It's very DC, actually, particularly the vintage finds. I wish your curtains were a bit longer in that last picture, but otherwise you've combined your pieces very well.

I love what you have done with color in the dining room and the kitchen, but I think the living room feels a little off. Maybe you could repaint that lavender pillar in a color that matches something else in the room? It also seems like you should use the pillar to showcase one of your large lovelier houseplants. That spindly one looks a little lonely. Just a thought. Thanks for sharing and good luck :-)

I like the small pieces of furniture you found to outfit your home, especially that little corner settee. Things are scaled properly so it gives the appearance of more room -- that's really hard to do on a budget.

Not many people have the creativity and imagination to do what you have done with your place. I have seen the "eclectic/parisian" style attempted before but never as successfully as yours. It looks ornate and antique but also comfy and inviting. Nothing you have seems randomly forced upon the space or out of order. I envy your abilities. I have about 1900 sqft where I live and my apartment looks like a crack den that I've been squatting in for the last two or three years. Ferrel cats roam around freely stealing unattended food and I start bonfires in the center of the dining room when I'm cold. Do they have a contest for that kind of living situation? Love your lion/cat. Very exotic.

i'm in the minority... I think it looks like my grandmother's house. i find it really depressing.

I LOVE this apt!!! I want a dollhouse replica for my children.

The petite scale is very cute, but I want to reupholster the couch and chair (grandma) and paint/refinish the headboard and mirror (hotel in need of an update) to freshen them up . The orange and green accents in the kitchen really bring it to life.
