Apartment Love

I just love this apartment that was recently featured on Design*Sponge. Why do I love it so? Let me count the ways. First off, it gets incredible light. Having good light is very, very high on my list of necessities in a space. Also, I love the art and how the designer was able to put together a velvet camel back sofa, Eames chairs, an industrial coffee table and have it all work so well together. The whole space looks organized and clean and interesting and not at all precious. Wonderful.

Okay, I’m going to ask my 11 year old if he can do a nest painting like that for me. I think that I need it — one egg for each of my crazy busters.

Today, I clicked over to the smallest, coolest contest and saw this apartment on there as a finalist. I hope it wins. Though, I don’t know, I really liked three of the finalists. Especially this A-frame house that I mentioned last week, too.

Finally, I wanted to mention this house tour on Apartment Therapy. It is a loft space and is the opposite of the usual space on AT since it is 3000 feet. You know the second floor of old stores? I always look up and wonder what is going on with those spaces. Well, this family is occupying just such a space in a small Oklahoma town and it’s brilliant. Skateboarding in the living room? Sign me up.

I hope y’all have had a good Wednesday!
