What was one of the biggest challenges you faced in furnishing your small home? We wanted to create a happy home with a clean look. We used a lot of color to make it happy. With the open space, all the color elements had to work and flow together. We found a company that helped us design a custom area rug that incorporated all the colors and placed it in the living room, thereby tying together all the colors in the space. To create a clean, airy effect and the illusion of a larger space, we chose furnishings that did not come to the floor (ie, a wall-mounted entertainment unit, sofa & chairs with legs and air under them) and 5 inch wood flooring for a long, wide effect. The best resources were the experts in the various furnishing stores, and making sure we carried all our samples around at all times!

I love your kitchen, especially that great clock!

I'm ridiculously jealous of your living/dining area. You made it so colorful but managed to keep it looking "grown up." And I'm totally lusting after that blue light!

This looks very similar to photos 2 and 4 for the "Chelsea" apartment on the website of a local architect: www.k-alanpayero.com.

Absolutely beautiful......I LOVE the picture arrangement on the wall in the bedroom.....guess that is why decorators make the big bucks, would have never thought to arrange pictures like that so low. Can't say I may not copy that idea!!! Claire

Nicely done. I especially love the bathroom rug. Please please please tell me where you found that!

It's fun to see someone getting their 1980s on. If the pictures had sound you just know that Katrina and the Waves would be playing in the background.
But the Van Gogh over the bed? Isn't that a little vulgar? It fits with the 80s fad for impressionist prints, but surely their decorator could have found something better for such an upmarket fit out?

Hey readers, thanks for all the great comments and your votes. We had great fun putting this project together. vlproducer wanted the architect and I to put together an apartment that was contemporary, bright and cheerful with LOTS of storage. Readers asked about some of the items in the project and I thought I would shed some light.
The wild dinning room chandelier is from http://www.crystalpalacechandeliers.com/
The beautiful custom carpet was from http://www.beauvaiscarpets.com/
The bedroom grasscloth wall covering was from http://www.phillipjeffries.com/
The rug in the bathroom was from ABC carpet
