We've highlighted homes from Singapore, India, the Philippines, and quite a few from Australia. But now we can proudly add Indonesia to our list of international house tours...more specifically, Jakarta, the capital and most populated city of Southeast Asia. Known for its colourful cosmopolitan character and a diverse cultural landscape, today's house tour reflect all these elements in a small space home which combines a sense of modernity with that of Jakarta's cross-cultural affinity for colours and texture...
>> AT Survey:
My/Our style: Colorful, vintage, but also hi-tech
Inspiration: Bits and pieces from everywhere. Cafes, pubs, furniture store, offices..
Favorite Element: Bricks wall in the living room
Biggest Challenge: Size! Its very very small! Can’t really figure out where to put things
What Friends Say: "CUTE!"
Biggest Embarrassment: the smelly watering system in the main bathroom. Can't seem to figure out what’s wrong. And, the fact that we have so many shoes, but no place to store it due to, again, a small apartment.

Biggest Indulgence: Spending time in the living room with playstation, dvd and lots of nibbles.

I love all the prints in this home! I am generally not a fan of too many prints and favor the clean lines of solids with texture. I fell in love with a leopard carpet when I had to redo my family room and have been wrestling with what to do with the room, and this apartment provides so much inspiration! The only things in my family room right now are the wall-to-wall leopard carpet, black leather hand me down couch, white and wood wall unit / TV and my disco ball! I'm going to print out these pics and head over to the fabric store to build a beautiful room of warm and optimistic prints! I'll also maybe get some more little disco balls to accessorize- so cute!
Thanks for his house tour. It really provided awesome inspiration!
I am getting the message below at some of the pictures in the slideshow. Is anyone else getting these too?

Pretty close-up photos of pretty objects, but I get no feel for how these are put together in the home.
Also getting server error
this place should be entered in the Small Cool contest!
Definitely thumbs up.
Server error on the 2nd through the 4th or 5th photo. You can see the others if you pull up the thumbnails.
Beautiful, modern papers. I would like to see how that entry hall is papered--looks like a strip up the wall.
this place looks fantastic but i agree with monroe that i'd like to see more rooms, to get a feel for the layout.
hello, I believe the reason for the error is because the filenames it has .2 and .3 extension which the server can't handle.
Wow this place is great, can you share where the various cushions come from?
:O
