Small Cool 2009: Will's Modern Retreat
Little Division #04

thumbs up

Who Lives Here: Will, 2 cats, 3 bikes
Location: Greensboro, North Carolina
Size: 800 square feet

What is your one favorite element in your small, cool home? I like the textures in my living room. I love the soft Rosy Angelis light with the Eames rocker.

Give Will a THUMBS UP if you think this home belongs in the finals!

What was one of the biggest challenges you faced in furnishing your small home? Oddly shaped rooms. My office is very narrow and long. I originally had no idea what to do with it until recently, and its still not 100% complete.

I want to see more. I wish you'd chosen photos that showed wider views of rooms and fewer vignettes. Still, I really like what I see!

i agree that photos are a bit lacking. vignettes that don't have context to the whole space. otherwise i like what i am getting a peek of.

Glad I'm not the only one in Latham Park with a sense of good style and taste. Nicely done! We are lucky to have Mark / Area in Greensboro.

I wish the photos were better. I don't get a sense of the space, though I like the choice of furniture and art. your use of frames is unusual and nice. LOVE the suspended bike! The colors work for me. Can't vote though, it's hard to tell how the space works...sorry.

midcenturymatt: were you the one walking by when Mark helped me load that in my house?

I stole inspiration for the bike rack from ikeahacks.com. It was in the best of 2008 list.

No one has commented on that super-cool Keith Haring poster? I really like this place. It seems like a real person lives here, rather than some kind of wannabe.

Umm this could be a great apartment. I dont know though because the pictures are crappy and are shot from a weird angle. Its really too bad because what I do see seems quirky but its too little to tell.

You totally know if this were my style I would have you decorate my place! I love it, have seen it in person...its even more than can be depicted here!

Yes that was me running down the street with my friend Tara dub c. The couch looks nice in your place. I have the same one in gray. Cool fixies too. I race bikes from time to time so I have the geared varieties...

Hope the roof doesn't leak in your place! I'm not entering the contest because I have a right old water stain upstairs! Good luck in the contest!

Amazingly enough, Will just moved into this space a few months ago. It's looking fantastic!

I love the way you use color and objects to make the room engaging. This is so far my favorite!

I like that this apartment amuses my eyes without feeling like lots of effort has been put in. Lots of shapes and colours but without being neurotic and matchy-matchy.

Creative use of paint for the accent walls. I love it!
