apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Good example of using "design for the masses" staples without looking like a showroom. These folks make me think: "hey I'd like to befriend those nutballs! They seem like a good time!"

Source question: Where is the wood counter in the kitchen from (the one with two drawers that the mixer sits on)?

I have that same beautiful, Ice Blue Kitchenaid Mixer. Loving the teals throughout your place.

looks like they've made the most of their small space amd most importantly enjoyed the process and living there!

llbillz, it looks like ikea:

i absolutely love the wall color in Jules' room. Does anyone know what color that is? I didn't see it mentioned in the article anywhere.

Nice use of a Jessica Hische dropcap =)

Where is the blue jar set above the knives from? Those are adorable!

One of my favorite tours ever! Maybe because I could easily see nearly everything in your apartment fitting quite nicely into my own place. ;) Great job, guys! You're as adorable as your home.

The blue jars are from Martha Stewart Macy's collection. And Jules' wall color is Benjamin Moore ...not sure on the color...Jules is gonna look through the closet to find the paint can for you.

I love the space. Would love to know what grey you used. It's delicious!

I don't get it. Why has this attracted so much attention? Because their space is cool? Or because they are actors who are hustling to make a dime?

Seems like just a normal space to me. I don't understand what's so remarkable about it!

Love ALL the paint colors.
Can you let me know color in kitchen and bathroom?
I am thinking of Arbor Vine by Freshaire for either but would still like options!

Cogey88.... I totally agree with you. If they were my friends and I walked into their place, i'd for sure think it was cute and all... but 3 times on AT & on HGTV ? Maybe i'm missing something, but it looks like a glorified CB2 add. Agian, lovely .... buuuut really ???

not once, but twice, this article mentioned their taste in music...yet never bothered to reveal what it is they ctually listen to. Big writing pet peeve :(

*actually (ooops )

i think they were on Small Space, Big Style before. Looks like they're changed a few things - like having a dining table!

They seem like fun nice people and all, but what am I missing with all of the PR about this place?

waw...... looked this this is looking so beautifull. thanks for shearing a nice info,,,

I was looking at the photo tour and thinking how unbelievably the bones of this apartment looked like mine. Then I saw that they live in Astoria too! Many of the same issues, I found this apt very inspiring, would love to know the color of paint in Jules' room.

The song Jules and I were jamming out to was Bedrock, the paint color in the kitchen is Cornhusk from Behr, and the negative attitudes are from Cogey88 and KylieD
;)

abc123,
I think the song is Lil Wayne "Bed Rock" featuring Gudda Gudda, Nicki Minaj, Drake, Tyga, Jae Millz & Lloyd.
I mean it's a Lil Wayne song; either you are into that type of thing or not. Naming a house tour after it, though, does not make much sense.

Anyway, I really like the corked beaker thing in the kitchen and I was wondering if I could know where y'all got that from.

I think the place looks great! It inspires me to redo my apartment.

Someone above said you guys are "actors hustling to make a dime". I didn't realize you make money by doing this? If that is the case maybe more people will post on here.

The spice rack in the kitchen was made from test tubes and a test tube rack. I wanted the one from Dean&Deluca but was unwilling to dish out the $150. Indigo Industries sells a kit to make your own at:

Then I just printed label and stuck them on the cork stoppers!

To me this does not look at all like a CB2 or IKEA ad. Those ads are sterile - this place looks lived-in. I like how you have incorporated plenty of plants - especially snake plants that do well with low light - into the space. I was wondering if that CB2 lamp shown in your bedroom looks decent "in real life" and I am convinced from your photos that it does :)

Also propping the LACK shelf onto legs to make a credenza was a very cool idea. I think outfitting it with doors might make it a bit less cluttered. A lot of IKEA furniture would look a lot better just adding simple touches like legs, different hardware, etc.

I dunno - I think it's a great place, it looks fun and inviting. Though I must say that while I like the colorful "before," I really like the "after."
And thanks for posting where you got the test tube spice rack - really like that idea!

I love this place and am so glad we got to see the house tour. Love the colors, love the decor, love it all. I'd also like to know the paint colors -- especially the kitchen yellow and living room grey/brown.

Thanks for sharing!!

paint colors please!!! i desperately want that gray in the living room

I'm in love with those placemats! Does anyone know where they are from? Please?

wow, they drink wine! cool!

such a fun space! info on the paint colours, please!

Will have to get back to you on the paint colors! Check back tomorrow!

Cute place, great colors, adorable couple.
<3

The whole place looks like an Ikea walkthrough....

Where did you get the little drawers by the white desk? I am looking for something exactly like that! Any info would be great.

The black and white comforter set looks identical to the black and white shower curtains that I got at Target, that I am using a dining room curtains.

If so, great use of it!

So cute & cool! I loved your table accents, they had a bit of whimsey and the DIY bar great idea!

a cute starter rental - very trendy colors- safe decor .

I love this apartment! I could easily see myself decorating in a similar way. I love the paint color in Jules' bedroom, I can't wait to find out what it is!

i think this is great. as a fellow young person who does not make enough money to be able to purchase an apartment's worth of eames furniture, i can appreciate this post. good on you, Jules and Tyler (and AT) for featuring an accessible space that reflects a realistic budget.

Love the place. How cute is Tyler>

some good ideas here but can't say i love it. highlight for sure are the paint colors - bravo! would like to disassemble the 3 little blocks with the 3 little candles above the bed, not a good look.

I love the shower curtain! Where did you guys get it?

Am obsessed with the deep turquoise of the bedroom mixed with black and white bedding--just the inspiration I need. Thanks!

This is a true reflection of a home! it is warm and cosy...but i must agree with mellow yelloe design those blocks must go! otherwise the rest of the house is perfect for two and just reflects the perfect colours and is very inspiring! well done folks!

I like the mirror on the dining area, I love the way it looks on the grey wall with the dining table. Where did you get it?

I am also loving that turquoise bedroom and the carpet and the black and white bedding etc...

Love your place! And yes, Tyler is a cutie :)

ooh and i love the shelf-turned-bar ikea hack. any tips on how to recreate?

It's sweet decorated. I really love the amount of color in the walls. I think you should think again about changing the kitchen floor :)

Beautiful interiors! The bedroom walls are the same color as our living room - one of my all-time-favorites!

New, cooler colors suit the place much better I think! Even though it is obvious that you guys are having fun playing with colors and styles, this apartment looks like a HOME, and that is what is most charming about it. Thanks for sharing!

Oh, please tell me, where did the white metal headboard/footboard come from?

LOVE it!! questions - where did you get the spice rack - test tubes? What color is the kitchen paint? Jules's BR paint? The dining room paint? Just amazing.

Is the apartment 1000 SF or 500? It says that it's 500 on the episode of Small Space Big Style. Here it says it's 1000. Which does make a difference because 1000 really isn't that small.

Gorgeous colors, but I especially love the teal color in Jules' bedroom and the bright yellow in the kitchen.

I am LOVING this apartment. Beautiful, cute, cozy. Love it. Awesome job.

i think it's a cute place for the size and i'm sure they're on a budget. i do like ty's bedding though. it looks very put together, but not a "set".

Beautiful rooms, another request for paint colors!

Another request for the paint color in Jules room! Please!

Love it!

Hey all! Thanks for the comments!! I will check Benjamin Moore today and get back to you all on what the exact paint colors are! Those of you who commented that it is decoration on a budget, you were absolutely right! Point is, you can still have a fun, cozy place that makes you happy to come home to, without spending a fortune (you gotta save the coins during this economy!) With that being said haha, the bed frame is from IKEA.

the turquoise color in jules' room is benjamin moore BLUE SPA.

Dear Tyler and Jules, where did you get your blue canisters? I need blue or red ones. All I have are white ones, snore.

The canisters are part of the Marta Stewart Collection at Macys!

i'm wondering the same as bemyescape... looking at this place there's no way it can be 500 sqft. my space is just under 500 and there is no way i'd ever have a bedroom the size of one of theirs, let alone two, and still fit two couches in.

while i think the new arrangement and colours are great, definitely a more sophisticated look and likely more in tune with them now vs then (i think the episode was filmed in '05?), it's very misleading of small space big style to say it was 500 sqft.

boring...

highlight for sure are the paint colors - bravo! would like to disassemble the 3 little blocks with the 3 little candles above the bed, not a good look. reverse phone detective earth4energy grow taller jump higher Electronic Cigarette
