apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

That was really a joy to see.

Oh, my. This is stunning. I love how carefully curated everything is without looking fake or staged, and how the colors all create a very calming, harmonious palette.

The family portrait with the cat is just adorable

Nice Martin!

Wow! What a lovely place! I too adore the family portrait with the cat.

one of my favorite house tours EVER. almost exactly my aesthetic. every little detail has been thought out and executed beautifully.

This is one of my favorite house tours, too. Thanks for sharing. You two are masters of the vignettes.

That cluster of keys stole my heart totally.
And oh-how-much-do-I-love-paint-by-numbers!

When can I move in? Seriously, I am in the midst of getting our new place set up, and a finished result such as this seems decades away. I love this house!

fabulous...thank you kelly & jonathan for sharing your lovely home :)

So gorgeous! I love the colors, the airy feeling, and the craigslist finds!

i'm in love. i only wish i were as successful on craigslist and ebay as you two!

wow beautiful place! it's clean, and love the accent colors here and there. the portrait is so awesome, and your cat is so awesome!!

Oh wow...I love the style, the color palette, all the modern retro finds!

This is one of the best house tours -- personal, eccentric, stylish and comfortable. the apartment looks huge and delicious! i would be happy to be that kitty in the family!

Love the artwork. Anyone else have popup ads that couldn't be closed? Almost ruined the House Tour!

Absolutely beautiful. I love all of the very well thought out little touches. And, the artwork is perfect. Thanks for sharing your lovely home.

this place was great! i loved it. nice work

very pretty!

I LOVE the gray and white patterned rug in your bedroom!! Where did you find it?

great looking apartment! it looks really comfy and fun.

in agreement with everyone here. love how you made vintage look classy and modern. definitely one of my all time apt therapy favourites!!!

Wow, WAY TO GO! You'd never know this was only 850 square feet. Kudos to you. It feels spacious and large. But you haven't cleared out ALL the clutter and I love it. Plenty of personality shows through.

I really enjoyed this tour too -- except for the annoying pop-up ads another poster mentioned! Especially with the details and vignettes of accessories that Kelly & Jonathan created, I felt robbed of fully exploring each picture -- can someone at AT help?!

this is my favorite house tour of all time. i could and would live here.

Gorgeous colors and light. One of my faves.
P.S. My cat's name is Marco, too!

I absolutely love the Murano lamps. This is a gorgeous home, one of my favorites.

Ah you have a Hatch Show Print in the foyer!

I really love your color choices. The yellow artwork over your bed is wonderful.

This is a very lovely home... So much beautiful light. I especially love the marble dining table and the way you've chosen to hang your wall decor. It looks much more interesting than if you couldn't see how it was hung.

Love the statement pieces of furniture, use of color, and creative artwork. Beautiful home.

As an avid House Tour'er that was one of my favorites in quite some time.

The horse lamp is beautiful. I can see why you were sad to have had one broken. Where did you get The Catcher in the Rye poster? Also do you have 3 couches? Maybe one is an upholstered piece. Is it a chair? Your house is just dreamy.

I registered, finally, just so I could comment on this house tour. This is just stunning. I wish I could kick you guys out and move in. ;)

The effect is lovely and subtle but clearly put together with an experienced hand (or hands?) so it never looks "kitchy" or over done. Love your place and love your stuff!

Absolute perfection!

Perfect blend of style and comfort. There is so much personality in your home but yet I don't feel it is over done. Really great tour. Dp you have a Flickr account or a blog so we can folllow your home. I am nosey, I know.

Oh this house is gorgeous! It feels so homey also because it's small. The natural light plus the use of accent colors on top of white makes it look so warm!

yep, perfect.

i loved every single thing about it. beautiful, stylish and really fresh and clean looking. uncluttered, but full of wonderful collections. thanks for sharing!

Beautiful. What colour are the living room walls painted? I'm looking for the perfect white. Thanks for sharing.

This house really deserves to be called eclectic -- in the best sense of the word. The couple mentions Jonathan Adler, who is in evidence, but doesn't mention Eva Zeisel, whose pieces also show up to great advantage.

The only change I would have made would be to take the glass knick-knacks off the bathroom cabinet. There's already a lot of visual music being made.

Love the red pumps by the Deco dresser.

really nice place!

Wow, i loved all the robust and soothing greens (i.e. The curtains in the kitchen, the guns, and the beautiful lamps) The mirrored dresser in the bedroom is truly - and forgive me for lack of a better description - to die for.

Does Ashley Goldberg do commissions for the meek of the earth? I want a family portrait of me and my two kitties!

The white wall hangings/shelf/accessories in the kitchen are a dollop of creaminess i want in my own life.

And last but mos def not last, the outdoor space makes me hate you, just a bit! If I were you, I'd never move.

Thanks for sharing your home.

T

awesome place! one of my favorite house tours ever!

What huge rooms for a one bed. Nice.

Love it! Love it! Kelly and Jonathan, can I hire you to hop on over to Potrero Hill and help me with my place:)

How freakin' precious. Did you see the peep toes artfully arranged outwards? Puhleaze. The palette (which is quite nice) and space (and $, too, of course) are what keeps this from merely being a compedium of the all the cliches of a certain socio-economic cohort. (The one just above the "Keep Calm" poster folks!) The tchatkes are particularly awful. And those keys.

Well, I like it!!! I LOVE the tv cabinet!!! And, yes, of course, that dresser.... sigh... beautiful!
this is an inspiration to me. After just moving house, and still lots of DIY that needs doing, it's nice to see something to aspire too!
Thanks for sharing!

I love how everyone in the US decorates the top of their dunny. Cute!

(Oh and I *hear you* about the cat fur. My place too!)

I would like to hang plates on wall, too. How do you do it without "plate hangers" showing?

The (toy) guns and the antlers were the only 'off' notes for me.

Well, that and the rather lifeless palette.

On the plus side: love the old stove, the glass lamps, the way they framed and hung the art, the pops of yellow in the kitchen, the wall-mounted vintage fan, and the way the place shows the owners' personalities.

This is definitely being bookmarked. I love how beautiful your home is, and the family portrait is just too cute! I definitely wish I had as much luck with the great vintages finds you two have. Everything just fits so wonderfully and does an amazing job of making your space look much larger than it is.

Simply beautiful.
Light, airy, fresh and oh so stylish.
Just love it!

love the blue and green print curtains.

My mother has the same heywood-wakefield vanity in her dressing room!

I love it so!

Wow - this is fabulous, I love everything about it. Never worry about cat hair when you have almost as beautiful a cat as mine.

I agree that this is one of the best house tours in a long time. You feel you really know the house and the personality that went into it. The cat is a ham (in more than one sense of the word!), seems to love to take pictures. The natural light gives this home an airy quality and it seems much bigger than stated.

So many lovely touches! I was about to wax eloquent about the blue and green drapes but then I had to swoon, nay, SWOON I tell you, over the stove. I love it to a ridiculous extent.

I love it! The curtains are amazing - retro modern for sure! Love the bedroom area rug. Very clean and open feeling! Thanks for sharing.

Also - the family portrait is adorable!

This is probably the nicest living space I have seen on Apartment Therapy (minus the guitars – not my thing). There have been bigger apartments, more lavish living spaces, but this looks both cozy and stylish, and what a gorgeous balcony.

I always have a hard time with yellow when decorating but you guys did a fantastic job with it. Cheerful without being cloying.

those lamps make me weep

ditto on all of the above comments. it makes me happy and enriches my day to see such a lovely home.

I love it!

WOW! Thank you so much for all the kind feedback! I promise that our apartment looks much bigger in these photos than it does in real life. With regards to the red pumps, on any given day, much to my husbands dismay, you can find many of my shoes kicked off in all kinds of directions all over the house. (:
-The grey and white rug was from Anthropologie 3-4 years ago. While they don't have it anymore, they have many that are similar. And some that are on sale!
-The plates in the kitchen were hung with string through the scalloped edges and then tied in the back.
-Ashley Goldberg DOES to portraits for the general public. She is such a joy to work with- just contact her through her website (linked above).
-The Catcher in the Rye poster is a reproduction that we had framed.

Not sure if I may have missed this, but I wanted to tell the person who asked about Pop Up Ads - you absolutely have a virus and/or bugs on your machine.

srivanis!!!

Please go to Cnet's download dot com or somewhere and download - free - ccleaner.com (everyone should use this, honestly) and I don't know what you are using for protection (sounds naughty!) but the AVG free is great for many, I buy a package.

I really would go on and on, but I am saying enough I hope; I just worry!

Also, not to ignore the lovely, lovely home: you folks amaze. Finally seeing someone use the rail to hang art is fantastic, and I do love your art. (I really want to hear Crime in Choir perform LIVE. I'm more of a noise/drone/metal gal than prog- but what the heck. Sounds fascinating.)

Thank you for any patience given for my being so off topic this morning. My coffee machine is broken, though I shouldn't offer too many excuses. Off to get a cup now. (With my own cup, finally.)

You can also hang the plates using something like these adhesive plate hangers. You won't see the hangers as long as the plates are not clear glass.

I absolutely adore the vanity in the bedroom. One of the best house tours in a while... definitely to be bookmarked.

so much to love! the credenza in the living room, the rug and vanity in the bedroom, the vintage stove... *le sigh*

there's something so thoughtful and humble (I mean that as a compliment) about the way this place has been done - I can't help feeling I'd really like the owners.
I don't usually like too many light colours, but I find myself surprised by how much I want to live here!

I'm in love.

I really enjoyed this house tour. I like the neutral palette with the understated pops of color. it definitely looks more roomy than the stated square footage. Thanks for sharing!

The horse lamp is quite intriguing - any idea what company made it? I'd love to try to track one down for myself.

Just lovely!!

just beautiful! can you tell me about the print with the numbers (by the entry) that is hanging on the wall?

well done!

oops, sorry. i meant the piece with the letters. i really love it and would like to find something like that for my home.

Do you mind sharing your paint color choices?
I love the warm, but still fresh, effect that you've created.

Hi there.
-I have no idea the maker of the horse lamp. If I did I would totally be looking for another one myself! It came from Canada, so who knows.
-The print downstairs is a Hatch Print from Nashville, TN. I believe they sell them online, but if you are ever in Tennessee you should check out the print shop, it is amazing.
-The walls are all Raffia Cream (Behr) which I love, but I think it looks whiter in these pictures than in real life. Hope that helps.

Definitely one of the best house tours I've seen on AT. Great job.

This is such a cute space, I like the quirky accents and all that happy color. Their bedroom reminds me of my grandparents bedroom, almost exactly the same decor and colors but in a fresh, modern way of course. This is charming!

Fantastic. How do you make all those wonderful little arrangements of objects looks so detailed yet sparse at the same time? Great balance of sleek and warm. Love the marble top table. Is the dining room a bedroom? Great use of space!

Very charming place

This is a beautiful and excellent home. At first, I was thinking what a great eye either/both of you have, then I was thinking how much it reminded me of my grandmother's color schemes (by the time I was around, of course), and THEN I saw my grandmother's curtains hanging in your dining room! What a (pleasant) shock to the system! She had these hanging in her living room with a turquoise couch that she had specially commissioned in the late 50s. A woman of great taste, I have often often wondered what became of those curtains as I'd love to have had them for myself.
So glad to know that you have the same ones on your windows. Thanks for sharing.

I have the same Wegner chairs, but mine had original black leather on the seats. Since the leather was falling apart, I had them recovered with new padding and black leather. Super comfy!

Does anyone know where the blue gun decorations came from? I love them! I am always picking up random little odds and ends like that to put on my bookshelf.
