Name: Lisa and Ames
Location: San Francisco
Size & Type: 350 square foot 1-bedroom
Favorite resource: The Street, Thrift-stores, Craig’s List, Flea Markets, Vintage Shops, Ikea
Pitch: This 350 sq. ft. apartment is rented by 2 eclectic women. The challenge has been great as the apartment is very small and is on a major street -- it can at once feel cramped, loud and exposed to the outside world. We like neutral bases for furniture, and have added in spurts of color in our artwork and decorative items. It’s important for us to have a mix of furnishings spanning decades, styles and cultures.
I would say what’s great about out apartment is exactly that-- we love art, color, lighting and feel that our place reflects this. We love mid-century modern but also feel organic and rustic styles reflect our taste as well.
i understand doing the two-photo-in-one thing if it's demonstrating how the room changes... but this is just two views of one room, right? not a "door open," "door closed," pic? then one has to go.
otherwise... i like it. there is a lot of stuff, but it's still comfy and the lines are pleasing.

A larger picture of the living room definitely would have helped, I think you have some good things going on with your choice of a warm color pallet there. I might have used a different photo than the one of your bathroom - it just looks like a strange grouping of pictures and stuff.

Has a great feel to it! Looks like it has some personality, and definitely doesnt look like a white box/furniture showroom. I think you'd have done better just explaining the separation of the rooms and focused on a single larger photo of the livingroom.
And this is just my opinion, but try bringing the things/art in the bathroom a little closer together. It will make the grouping seem like a single unit. Right now it feels a little like each item is floating off in space. Bringing them tighter will create cohesion and will bring some interesting narratives/connections between each item. :)

The consistency of your accessories (pots, tables, vases, etc.) is really inspiring. One of my favorites so far!

I enjoyed the art in the third picture, espcialy once I saw the toilet paper and realised this was the bathroom.

Lovely! It seems comfortable but also very well thought-out. I wish my apartment looked like this.
