International Finalist: Bryan and Stef's Green Loft

Name: Bryan and Stef

Size & Type: 817 sq. ft. owned house

Who was your favorite entry and why?

There are so many great entries it is hard to choose just one. The colour used in Midwest #4: Kimberly's Happy Niche was just great. East #3: Luca's Surplus of Storage & Light was also very slick. Plenty of other cool small space to draw inspiration from!

What's your next improvement?

Things are always changing! We bought it only 10 months ago and have been customizing it since day one. The next major project is to wallpaper the downstairs washroom with metallic Cole and Son wallpaper with trees on it. Following that we will find a new home for our framed photo collection (currently in storage boxes), and beyond that who knows.

I like how you hung the bikes. How did you do that?

That green is luscious and I like the little birds. Are those decals?

Man, how lucky that the view's industrial equipment is in bright colors. And very smart of you to photograph the view with similar bright happy colors in the foreground. Your whole place is smart, really. Smart, but not stuffy. It's got a nice sense of humor. I missed your place first time around, and am glad I got a chance to see it this time.

Where did you get the little birds? Are they removable? Thanks!

To hang the bikes Bryan screwed 4 bike hooks into a 2x4, then bolted the 2x4 to the underside of the loft. It saves a ton of floorspace!
The birds are wall stickers from Ferm Living (http://www.fermlivingshop.com/stickers/).
Thanks for the comments, especially the one about our space having a sense of humour! That's the whole idea, just to have fun with it.

The clock was an (amazing) x-mas gift from Bryan, I'm not sure if the store he bought it from has it anymore. Try googling Obsessions on Water Street.
