i'm SO jealous! this is exactly the set up i'm looking for.

Fabulous apartment! I'm jealous too!

Your place is pretty awesome! Especially your balcony. I'm left scratching my head as to why there is no oven? It looks plenty enough space. Love the under-counter fridges, though!

Wow, what a beautiful balcony! Love the way you've set up the outdoor space.

And in the it's-so-funny-the-things-we-notice category, doesn't the landline phone on the column in the kitchen seem so retro? :)

LOVE that terrace.

too bad we don't see these statement curtains

I love that you have a huge shower and have replaced a traditional oven with a toaster oven.

The balcony is wonderful, too. I'd spend every warm weathered second out there.

I love that outdoor space.. it is perfect!

Where is the rug from?

This works if you are single, but would be a tough place to live if you are married,

That is one heavy duty toaster oven- wow!

Chaya, I don't recall Sabrina mentioning a spouse.... And in NY, I'm sure many a married couple are rocking the small cool studio thing.

Sabrina, I love your home! The settee is beautiful, I do agree a larger mirror (or art piece) would look great above it. You must've been estatic to find a place with such a great terrace, I feel I can be very happy in a small space as long as I've got enough closet space and a nice dining area outdoors (it's your west coast vibe coming thru.... I'm from Hawaii so prefer a little indoor/outdoor myself).

I second the rug question. In my inspiration book, I have a picture of that same rug and I want it!

Nevermind, just found it. Here is a source for the rug: http://www.gaiam.com/product/turkish+pattern+reversible+all+weather+floor+mat.do

Love it! Can I ask where you found those folding outdoor patio chairs?

Love it! Mind if I ask where you found those outdoor folding chairs?

Spacious personal terrace...in Fort Greene..Brooklyn. NICE. Can we trade? Please????

yes! thank you, Portobello, exactly what i've been looking for!

Full hour tour, please!

Love it! The outdoor space is a bonus.

Fabulous, but I'm curious; why not utilize a sofa bed for a studio? I have a very comfortable one from (gasp) IKEA. I often sleep on it in lieu of my bed.

The bathroom is divine.

@Sonje: some activities are less suited to a sofabed. I wouldn't want to pull one out for "visitors" -- it's not exactly the mood I want in that situation.

Wow. A studio with a decent sized kitchen and a terrace? I might have done Brooklyn if I could find something like that. I got a really good deal in JC, but the PATH is so annoying, I may start looking in Brooklyn. I hope I find something like that!

Thank you everyone!

@spectrogram: some good tips for small spaces. The mirror looked bigger online, but I was supporting my friend's Heart of Haiti line at Macy's so I kept it. It's a placeholder for an original artwork coming my way (that's bigger!)

@xand83: Actually, the previous owner had the kitchen renovated with only 120V available. My options were to bust open my walls to rewire, or use this half-size industrial strength oven. It's by Waring, and does everything a conventional oven does (even rotisserie!) while using less energy and generating less heat. I figured the half-size works with the half-fridge and half-freezer in a studio apartment.

@DCGirl33: that landline is connected to the doorman's desk!

@LadyJ: whoops! Will have to wait for the house tour for the curtain shot, I guess. ;)

@medusa12120: thank you! I bought this place because of the terrace, but it is quite popular on airbnb, probably for the same reason.

Rug was from here: http://www.amazon.com/Turkish-Mat-Aqua-Mad-Mats-Outdoor-Area-Rug/dp/B0018M3PZ6

I wish I knew where that patio set is from! Previous owner left it for me.

Sabocracy - I don't have an oven either, I opted for a combination microwave/convection oven (looks just like a microwave). Haven't regretted it, have baked cupcakes, chicken and a ton of other stuff in it.

Another west coaster (Oregon) now in NYC, you're tour made me smile. Well done. And, that's it. I've pined (or birched) over the Cole and Son wallpaper too long. I adore it. It's time. I know it's crazy expensive but I have one wall in my wee Astoria 270 sq ft adobe that is screaming for it. :-) Where in NYC did you find it?

See, this is why I log in to Apt Therapy. I have a 928sq foot home and the fact that people with less than 700 sq can make their homes appear uncluttered...just clean lines..is awesome to me....you all give me inspiration and hope. I love your home, your bathroom is to die! Good Job!

The terrace is great!

Great use of mirrors and space! I have to agree with everyone else on complimenting the terrace. Beautiful work!

Best terrace ever!!

Great place. I would love to know where the duvet cover is from? I'm looking for something like this. Its lovely.

@bear: I ordered it from the UK, company called Fabrics & Papers. Beware of the shipping, it cost 43lbs!

@PhotobugLA: http://www.blisslivinghome.com/ Great duvet, beautiful quality. I got it on sale.

Love it!!!!

Thanks for sharing Sabrina. I will keep a look out for a similar duvet. Can't see it on that website at the moment. They may have sold out.

I also have a small place in Hollywood that I refer to as a treehouse. I work from home too and I'm always trying to keep the clutter under control but I'm losing the battle. I'm very impressed you've kept the messiness away from your home. I also have a huge balcony which is the main reason I took the place. Its my cats backyard and has become a storage area.

You've inspired me to hit the de-cluttering harder over the coming weekend.

I love the Marie Antoinette UO settee!!! Also, fabulous wallpaper and I am jealous of the space in your kitchen.

It's so nice to see small spaces made into a 'home." It shows that you don't have to have a huge place, rather outdoors or in, to make where you truly live and putter :) beautiful!

I LOVE the tile in the shower. It's just beautiful!

Love your Ikea things and dont let anyone tell you are wrong for doing so!!

The patio area is so great. Cute little studio!
