What is your one favorite element in your small, cool home? I love my light up bench seating.. I used mainly recycled materials and they are actually really comfortable!
Give Chris a THUMBS UP if you think this home belongs in the finals!

What was one of the biggest challenges you faced in furnishing your small home? I hated the door leading to the overpriced laundry machines... I disguised it with an art piece I made that was designed to be taken out places and photographed as "naturally occurring art", but I just keep it inside now and I like it that way.

What's that colorful tray/drawer thing in the third picture? I'd love something like that to organize art supplies in my workspace.

An aquarium! Kudos for showing it unapologetically.

Love the desk, hate everything else. Edit, edit, edit.

I have to give props to Chris for trying, I really, really love the orange, brown & white art piece and your desk/table is rad. I just really like pic 2 and your repurposed seating is something you don't see often.
Just one question, how do you get into your bed, project yourself from the end?

I love all the fluid styles and art here. And that counter top/table thing in the 2nd picture... did you make that? The pattern on top is great.

Thank you for the comments, my place is all DIY and I probably spent around $120 on everything I used to decorate and make the art shown.. I am your typical starving artist/musician and just like having a nice place to hangout when the rain is pouring. I am extremely stoked I even got in and it is an honor.. But I really aspire to have a place like the top ranking contestants.. Peace!

Your headboard / nightstand / aquarium stand / dresser combo is clever. I love that quirky artwork above it as well.

I think you did alot with the space and resources you have and it defintely has style . If it suits you, then thats what a home is.

I love the countertop.
I am planning a sort of decoupage thing for my coffee table, which your counter reminded me of.
