AT - can we PLEASE get floorplans? OK, so it's a loft, but floor plans help us to better visualize the space.

Which, in this case is fabulous. I especially love/am envious of/could never hope to accomplish so stylishly that open bedroom closet!

OH, and the blackboard paint on the storage jars is a great idea!

I love this post!!! This is about REAL style... not $$$$. I love the bed headboard ~ too cute. Love that the pictures hang askew. Love that the blackboard paint on the walls is rough around the edges. This couple has a true eye for design.

Love the open closest DIY project and the velvet looking sofa. The walls are really tall and it is probably a challenge to finish the trim on the red paint but that would make the space complete for me.

Funny I was going to post about wanting to see the floor plan too. I can't tell where the bedroom is in relation to everything else, and there seems to be a lot of furniture and stuff that I feel could breathe a little bit more as the space seems to allow for it. Other than that they have an amazing collection, and picture 13 is gorgeous not just because of the dog, but because the coffee table and TV are plain freaking awesome. Also, congrats on the DIY closet--looks worth at least a few thousands! The chalkboard headboard is pretty clever too. This place is oozing with creativity.

Cute place. Love all the pops of deep red. Was gonna comment about the AT house tour cliches in these photos (chalkboard, 4 foot high pile of books, bicycles in house, vintage typewriter on display....)--but then I looked around my own house & noticed the chalkboard, the piles of books, the bicycles in the kitchen & remembered that I've been looking for years for a vintage typewriter....

Well done! I love the use of color and light. The chalkboard headboard looks great, but I couldn't deal with the chalk dust in my bed!

It looks like a really fun place to live!

Creative style on a budget and beautifully done... Love it!

Such a charming place! One of my favorite house tours to date.

@Infinitylove: I was just gonna say that I love that the red paint isn't complete. It's fun, and I think it goes great with the the style of the apartment. I also love the use of those beautiful rugs to define the different spaces. This place is not necessarily my style (the mirror propped on the sink is driving me crazy, and in general there just seems to be a lot of "stuff" around), BUT I love it because it's clearly a reflection of who they are. They found some really great pieces and incorporated them in a cool way. I'd like to go to a party in that house!

So homey especially for a loft. Both couches have the right amount of wear and tear to make them looked lived in. Nothing is pretentious looking. I like the tile in both the kitchen and the bathroom. Doesn't look like you totally put everything away just because you were going to have a photo shoot of your place. The crooked pictures make me smile.

LOVE the closet. love the coziness. love the wabi-sabi wonderfulness of it all! superb job on turning what would be a cold and sterile space into a chic, adorable home. (and you guys are cute too!)

The headboard is so great:) I love this place...altho those crooked picture frames would make me crazy;)

kind of what i imagine would happen if holly golightly bought some furniture and gave the cat a name...

A rich eclectic choice of furniture and fabulous space. Even the dog looks very contented!

Nice, open space. When you're newly married, you can live without walls or privacy.

One thing I'd do is change "blinfold" to "blindfold" on the chalkboard. That really stands out to me.

Does that vintage television work?

LOVE.

I love the crooked picture frames! Did you choose to leave paint unfinished? The place is adorable. I could not get past that you live in LA. For some reason the place looked like Seattle or Portland - not sure why. You are a very cute couple and a wonderful place in your life! Enjoy every minute of it! Congratulations on being able to make simplicity into something that is beautiful.

Wish I had a time machine. I'd love to travel 20 years into your future to see what your style will be like.

Who's the guy in the kitchen with the hat? lol I am amazed at how definite they are in their personal style, and am shocked by how young they both appear to be. Although it is not my personal taste, I am thoroughly impressed with their space and what they have done with it. When I was their age, I'd have killed to live in that space.

Don't chalkboards come with spellcheck yet?

This place is adorable!
Not like so many posts that fill their home with junk w/o thought.

Money is not important but taste is! What great taste you have!

Love it! Your space is amazing and filled with great ideas for all of us to copy! I for one will be doing the blackboard paint on the jar thingy - smart! The Dr. Seuss column and the additional red accents throughout the space are wonderful! How did you two get so much taste and style - you're barely out of your teens... maybe you're still in them!

Love the ladder bookcase, pretty cool idea.

@Zazzu: thanks for pointing out the spelling error haha! We both are wondering how I wrote that on there weeks ago and never noticed it…now it’s driving me crazy!

Unfortunately we gutted the TV to make moving easier so it's no longer functional. To watch TV we project am image on the wall above.

@robertspeg: Thank You! I know some people hate the crooked picture frames but I did that on purpose. We did leave the paint unfinished, at first we planned to complete it, but after a few days it really grew on me and I think our place wouldn’t have the same feel if we had completely finished the paint.
I’ve never been to Seattle or Portland but I’ll take it as a compliment!

@ach: I’m not sure who you’re talking about...A guy in the kitchen with a hat?

@stevedave44: thanks! We appreciate your kindness ;)

@emm0607: maybe that’s something we can invent!

@SJay: The Ladder bookcase was mostly out of need! Where does one store a ladder in a loft? lol

I absolutlely LOVE your space! Incredible style and beautifully arranged!

My favorite thing about this loft is the lack of perfection...well done.

I covet your card catalog (the cuter terrier ain't bad either). I'm stealing your chalkboard paint on glass jar storage idea. Your open closet is gorg.

I so rarely comment here. But I think that the lack of perfection seen here (paint, spelling, framing, etc), gives this home so much charm. I think I get a sense of the owners personality, which I find is sometimes lacking. It isn't all my style, but I love that it is perfectly imperfectly you.

I love your "headboard" and your DIY closet!

oh so good.

they really took on the repurposing approach to do it yourself with the closet. it was originally a book shelf and entertainment center I think. I can't remember exactly but i know Giovan said it was built from another storage unit of sorts.

This place is so great! I might have to steal the closet idea, as mine is woefully small ;)

Hi,
I love lofts and you folks decorate like I do... recycle whatever you can find. I love to make something out of others throw out. You have put it together very well. I love your coffee table and was wondering if there is any way of getting more details of what you use and what you started with. I'm always looking for great storage for small places or dual purpose furniture. Thanks

I really love your bedding! And the personalization throughout the home.

So cozy!...

That looks like my old TV set. Seeing yours brings back good memories. :)
Very cozy place.

The closet is my favourite part.

in between the two "enter house tour" links is a strange picture of a guy in a hat in some other kitchen. I am guessing an error, but it is driving me crazy. and only one other person commented. am I missing something?

very cozy, creative space. when I can see what people like to have and do, it creates a sense of intimacy that is so appealing.

what strange guy in a hat??
am i missing this all together, you are the second person that has said so. can you send the image of the guy in the hat to me-- have no idea... bethany@bethanynauert.com Thanks!

now the strange guy in the hat 'thing' is bugging me too! please post the answer bethany!

i adore your home. im so happy you showed the photos of the couple because it all makes so much more sense getting a feel for their style. i love the bedroom! the headboard, the comforter, rug, etc. and all the red. bravo! very fun!

This apartment is so natural and unpretentious seeming--that's the charm. I like the rug hung over the door. Unexpected and cute--Well done! (incidentally, I see the hat guy too)

LOL - I think the photo of the guy in the hat is from another tour and AT messed up. I was thinking that too. "Who is that?" LOL.

I'm not sure why, but really only a few computers can see the image. My guess is that it's a glitch that's happening on old browsers? Maybe clear the cookies on your internet? not sure....so weird though! i see no man with hat??

can someone take a snap shot of this mystery photo?? and email it to me? ctrl + print screen or on mac shift command 4. thank you!

This apartment is about as adorable as this couple. Loved this tour!

the place is cute but a bit sloppy, the chalk board had spelling issues and is no one going to say how much this guy looks like lady gaga when she did drag?

I love the closet! I love the library card catalog table. I wish I was that lucky to find one! I have that same head scratcher! Great place, lots of inspiration!

I want to get a coffee at Le Cafe.

Well done!

he's gone now!

Refreshing and original, love it.

Oh my goodness, Chloe! Job well done. The bones of your loft are so similar to mine ... I am so incredibly inspired by this house tour! THANK YOU.
