apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Adlersson's kitchen is small but streamlined...it has the narrowest built-in fridge we've seen yet. Plus, it uses one of our favorite kitchen combinations: glossy bright white cabinets with butcher block countertops. Not to mention we'd love to have a sunshine-yellow espresso machine in our kitchen...

Lately, we've been taking a break from showing mid-century modern furniture in our posts in favor of more eclectic interiors, but we really liked how Aldersson used a mix of styles for her dining room. Mid-century modern chairs + industrial table + DIY glass bottles-turned-candleholder centerpiece = a comfortable, unpretentious space perfect for entertaining.

Just beyond the kitchen area is the office area, which is probably the most inspiring space, especially if you are looking to put a cozy office nookin your own home. A shelf is mounted to the wall with extra storage thanks to an Ikea locker on wheels. Also, behind that pair of awesome vintage striped chairs, is a radiator cover with perfectly spaced circles cut out for a more fun, creative look.

And speaking of storage, check out this narrow bookcase: each cubbyhole is a different size to fit a variety of books and boxes without wasting as much space as a traditional bookcase. Also, have we mentioned how much we love sliding doors / secret entryways? Wonder if that bike seat attached the wall opens the door (probably not).
