Name: Melissa, Steven, and Rufus
Location: Vancouver, British Columbia
We recently moved from a very large one bedroom to a studio/loft apartment, so the tricky part was deciding what should stay and what needs to go to make the space not too crowded. Most of our furnishings are from Craigslist and thrift stores.
I am inspired by old things, natural materials, colour, nature, and art. I say "I" because Steven (and Rufus) let me do (almost) whatever I want when it comes to our home!
Thanks, Melissa, Steven, and Rufus !

Love the armchair in the first pic. Anyone have any info about it? I'd love to find one.
If you need to downsize, I'll take the pup!!! A-dor-a-ble!
Just when I thought I was decided on a simple modern sofa, your living room makes me want to go out and get a big squishy one.
Love that first picture! The house seems so cozy. Wish there was a photo of your bath and kitchen.

"Houses should be lived in.
Dogs should be on sofas."
You seem to have gotten it right.
