Apartment Tour
In July of 2014, I was lucky enough to finally snag one of those swanky, industrial, "cool-kid" lofts everyone always dreams of living in once in their lifetime. After being on a wait list for at least a year, about 6 lofts became available all at once! I had my choice of different layouts, additional bedrooms, interesting views, and diverse buildings, but to my surprise a tiny (but long) studio loft caught my eye & wouldn't let go ;)
Empty loft from entryway
When I walked into this tiny apartment it immediately felt like mine. I saw myself cuddled up in my bedroom nook on a rainy summer night, entertaining guest in my tiny minimal kitchen/living room, and dropping my bag into some thrifted vintage chair in my hallway of an entryway. It was perfect.
Empty bedroom Nook
I've been in my studio for about 8 months now and I couldn't love it more. I must admit it was a little difficult to think of a functional furniture arrangement in a studio loft, and while I'm sure I'll adjust it many times, I think I've found a pretty good layout for now.
Entryway: chair- thrifted / table- target / pouf - home goods
Rug- Marshall's
My neighbor/friend/design partner Gavin helped me with this cool chalkboard wall. There's a post about this on my projects page. See the DIY details

I'd have to say this is my favorite part (as it should be)...my bedroom nook!
"Lucite"& gold tray- DIY
Chairs- Vintage family heirlooms (over 30 years old!) / Globe - vintage / stool - DIY / Rug -
(Ignore those unsightly cords and awkwardly placed side table, a replacement piece is on the way!)
Bar Cart - IKEA (yes, this has a post on my DIY page too, check out the details
!)
I'm liking the way things are for now, but any home decor lover would know, this could change ANY minute! I'll be sure to keep you guys updated on any loft updates :).
