Elodie's Fun & Feminine Studio
House Call

Name: Elodie
Location: Paris, France

I'm a fashion blogger, designer and interior architect and I recently did took some pics of my very little home in Paris — it's a 26 square meter (280 square feet!) studio where I had to find creative solutions to using the space. And I did! We have a little bedroom, a huge wardrobe, a desk to work at home, a dining space and a great living room.

I live here with my fiancé and my 2 cats. I'm very inspired by fairy tales and small British sailors' homes in France. I love when an apartment is full of little things. I bought all my furniture at IKEA and then accessorized with vintage objects found on eBay or in my grandparents' attic.

Here is a link to the post I made about it on my blog.

Thanks, Elodie!

I absolutely love this! The use of space is very inspirational. I've always felt that a small space can be enhanced by lots of accessories (even though it seems counterintuitive), and this proves it, in my opinion.

Very fun and bright space. It looks so comfortable and happy too. I love the Space Invaders tribute on the cabinets.

Great job putting a lot of things in a small space! It looks very functional and that you aren't going without any convenience including a useable kitchen and tons of storage.

Very nice... I really like it. Where did you find the pink Space Invaders for the cabinets?

Very cute! Where did you get that bunny in the 8th picture? Does it serve a purpose, or is it just cute?

Good job!

No, this is just too claustrophobic for me. I've lived in small spaces, too, but always tried to keep them uncluttered.

I love it. I could never do it.. well, I could... but it wouldn't look this good. This is adorable/amazing/wonderful.

What a lovely place. It's very small, but who cares it's in Paris!

So boheme, stylish and full of stuff! Beautiful. The small black cat and the invaders made me melt.

I'm a pack rat but this amount of clutter would drive me up the wall. I do LOVE the ceilings though. Absolutely gorgeous.

what? i'm getting agita just looking at it. in a space this small, i would have closed storage... or perhaps a storage unit! i find it cute but unlivable.

Whoa, medusa12120 et al. What's with all the harshing? You do realize that this is someone's beloved HOME, don't you?

@michelleinbrooklyn - I believe the bunny is actually a wi-fi transmitter. I've only seen them in France, but perhaps someone knows of a stateside source...

Say what you want about the clutter, but when you step out the door you are in Paris (the one in France). I mean, I like SF, NY, Chicago, but this is Paris!
