What was one of the biggest challenges you faced in furnishing your Small Cool home? Biggest challenge, which is still a challenge today, is keeping clutter at bay and utilizing our limited closet space wisely. We work through this by editing things we find out we don't need after a while and the wonderful use of Space bags that are now living under our bed. Apartment Therapy's extremely helpful articles on small space living have really aided us in staying organized and edited.

Oh boy, the pink tile in your washroom is giving me all sorts of envy! Love it!
I totally want to hang out there. Neat space!
I would have liked to see the wall of windows...
What a great space! It's small but you actually have a den and room for guests. And that yummy rasberry ice cream tile in the bathroom is lovely. Thanks for sharing. Also, love the look from the kitty on the bed as you are interrupting his nap!
Love the pink tile and the small kitty on the big bed...
Simply delicious!
May I ask where the breast-like lamp is from?
It's Jonathan Adler.
Gorgeous!
Please - what's that lovely bedroom paint color?
i've seen this place before, and loved it. thumbs up! i love the gray and cute decor.
Wow, this place has a great layout.
Bathroom is very cool. Would have liked to see more of the eating nook.
lovely, lovely colors. What's the bedroom and den (I suppose? The grey 'guest bedroom') paint color?
the colors in your bedroom (with the light) are dreamy...good job!
love love love this.
would be really appreciative if you posted the grey bedroom wall color. great job!
i recognize this home! ... the house tour was featured just last month.
Hi!
the bedroom color is Benjamin Moore : Shabby Chic and Den is Ben Moore: Silver Lake.
If you need any other info Jess did a fantastic house tour for us. http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/sf/ariana-and-andreas-downey-street-tree-house-house-tour-111373#comments
love the bedspread...where is it from?:)
It kind of sucks how many people in the contest have posted links to more photos of their home. It's basically cheating, and it says it's not allowed in the rules. In past years people got on that, and the links got deleted, but it seems to be sliding by this year...
I guess you're right, SanFranna, but I so wanted more pics and I can't resist. Already voted so I think it's OK.
wonderful light in this place. love the open kitchen. can't believe this but i love that purple bathroom tile. i'm sure it would be awful in a bathroom with no natural light, but in your sunny br it looks great...
