ian's painting is really stunning.

charming & inspiring.

I love this apartment. So lovely.

Lovely space!

For those who want a similar schoolhouse map, they're called Denoyer maps. If you do an eBay search, you can usually find several, including ones on rolls. I've seen them used as windowshades somewhere (O at Home?)

This apartment is so cheery and lovely!
I aspire to have that kind of colour sense.

That pair of black chairs - Right up my alley!

Actually your house and mine are not dissimilar, somehow. I feel like I could move in and be very happy.

Lovely lovely.

Robin hearts books....ha ha ha. love the apartment.

Robin, just chiming in to say that personally, I love the clutter of books! My BF and I are bibliophiles, too. Books, to me, are a security blanket! Your space is so clean and clutter free, that the contrasting book-overflow gives your space a lovely lived-in feeling. I vote that you find an adorable bookshelf for those books currently living on your desk (with such an awesome desk chair!), and then place them in there any which way.

You really do have a wonderful space.

Hi Robin,

I was wondering if you could tell me where you purchased your bookcase in the living room (below the map). Many thanks.

hey! I recognize these pics from craigslist. We were this close to buying your sideboard from you. Your place looks great!

I love the slipcover on the desk chair. Did you make that?

Robin, I adore your apartment. It is everything I want my home to be! In fact, I live in Chicago and my bf and I just moved in to our first place together which is a bit awkward spacially, so if you want to help us decorate... :)

I would really love to know where you got your kitchen island, though. We are desperately looking for some extra storage/counter space for our galley kitchen and that looks perfect!! Thanks!
