apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Love the third and fourth photo. I wish the couch area looked more like it. The red wall and tshatshkes don't look as thoughtful.

I love the mountain picture mural in the bedroom. I can't wait to put one up myself! I agree that the seating arrangement with the yellow chair rocks. I love the red wall, though, too. It makes the space seem bigger because there are two different looks.

Great use of yellow, black and white retro but not too much.

Such a tiny space and there is still room for a bar...Priorities! Great apartment, great look. : )

WOW. You have so much going on in 500 square feet, yet it still feels spacious and airy. The yellow chair is so yummy! Is that a vintage chair? Did you find it on craigslist? I love the lines of it......GREAT job.

not the red room but the room wt damask & yellow accents is superb!!!! It looks completely different...Wish I could sit down & read a book in that chair...

I love this apartment! What fabulous character!

too crowded...

Snoopy!

uh, there appears to be a big rat under your coffee table.
oh, wait, that's a dog.

Like pictures 3 and 4. Make the rest of the apartment like that.

I like the rug under your coffee table, where did you find it?

two big thumbs up! i love the photos! you guys are so talented! i love the modern approach with the functionality you gave the book case (mounted to the wall) and instead of a kitchen table a bar... there is enough seating to have guests in this small space and the little doggy seams quite at home passed out on the shag rug. love it!

I agree with my gf the modern approach is great and its functional for such a small space. Cheers!

I love the busy red walls! It makes for stark contrast with the serene bedroom and the loungy bar area. Awesome!!

i disagree with people about the red wall; i think it adds a big dose drama and personality. the cluster of art on that wall has so much personality and character and defines the space as different from the seating area...which is adorable! putting the bar in the corner was a genius space saver as opposed to a dining area, especially for people who entertain a lot! this place really proves that craigslist is a goldmine

love the midcentury modern feel of this place. that blue lamp has an awesome shape as does the yellow chair. somehow all the bright colors really work and make the place seem bigger. the wall murals really cool too, where did you get it??

I reckon this is one of the best small apartments I've seen in this competition.

That black chair is super sexy! Where did you get it?

Super great. So many try this, but so few are bold enough to produce an effect this confident or interesting. I gave a thumbs up to 3 spaces in this competition, and yours was one of them. Nice!

I love the bedroom mural - it looks super cool and calming for the bedroom. The place looks functional, modern and unique. Nice work!

Charming!

Love this one! I wish I were bold enough to paint like you did!!

Amazing use of the space. Great attention to detail! You guys have surely paid allot of attention to every spot in your place! GREAT USE OF COLOR! You guys are awesome!

thanks for all the lovely comments! in response to your questions,

piffdos- the rug is from ikea, i believe. i got it from cl, but i havent seen it at ikea recently

nopornplz- designyourwall.com! very inexpensive!

andrew d.- its a barcelona style chair we picked up from craigslist.

Gorgeous space, love it!! Can you tell me where the couch is from?
