This wallpaper is pretty, don't you think? That blue is gorgeous paired with dark red and maroon. I'm loving the curtains over the bed, and the patchwork bedspread. Very romantic. Okay, lets talk about how wonderful this coral color is. Coral is great on it's own as a solid wall color, and it's equally as…
Ever since I began interning at Frolic!, I have been going crazy for all things garden inspired. Chelsea is an amazing floral + prop stylist, and has been teaching me a little bit about floral design! Flowers and plants are a great way to add color to any room. I find that my mood is…
I have to admit, for a while I wasn't so into forest green. It's funny how all it takes is an image like this to completely change my opinion of a particular color. This stove is amazing! The blue drawers and shelves are a brilliant complement, and I just can't get over the gold accents….
Hello again! It's Lauren here with my second guest post for Design Sponge! Today I thought it would be fun to check out some interiors with neutral colors… I think this idea of organizing books is so cool! Sure, it might be a little time consuming when you are looking for a particular book, but…
Hi! I'm Lauren Willhite from the Color Collective blog. Grace kindly asked me to be a guest blogger here on Design Sponge, and I couldn't be more thrilled! If you already follow Color Collective, then you know that I collect images from designers, photographers, and artists that inspire me, and create color palettes from those…
It’s Tiny-Ass Apartment’s last day here on the Design*Sponge guest blog! *Sniff* I’mma miss you all! I want to thank Grace again for giving me this opportunity, and to thank you readers for welcoming me onto your computer screens. There are SO MANY more TAA tips and tricks to talk about (*cough*Visitmysite!*cough, cough*), but today…
As someone who works from home, I know that having a separate home office often seems not only luxurious, but necessary. But ha ha, too bad, you live in a tiny-ass apartment! You don’t even have a separate room for your bed. What are you gonna do now? If you’re a good lil’ TAA-dweller, you…
Unless you’re a vampire, chances are you have a bed in your tiny-ass apartment. (Come to think of it, interior design for vampires and their coffins seems like a pretty lucrative area these days.) A bed is arguably the most important piece of furniture in your home. You can go without a couch or coffee…
The numero uno problem with living in a small space is that it feels, well… small. Your bed is steps away from your desk, which is right next to your kitchen, which is butted up against your closet… Packing everything one needs to LIVE THEIR LIFE into one tiny area makes it feel crowded and…
Hi hi hi! My name is Simone, and I’ll be guest blogging for Design*Sponge from here at Tiny-Ass Apartment. A few years ago, I was back on the ol’ apartment hunt. I wanted a space that was all my own, and I couldn’t afford much, so I ended up in a 300ish square foot studio…
This is my daughter Viola, she turns five next summer. She is not much into toys. I ,on the other hand, love toys and have tried several different approaches to get her interested. But she loves to pretend and go into role play. Dress up like a king or a cat. This is what she…
An absolute must if you are coming to Stockholm sometime in your life (which of course you have to) is a visit to Junibacken. Maybe you know Astrid Lindgren? The creator of great Pippi Långstrump aka. Pippi Longstocking. Junibacken is her world and also the world of other great Swedish childrens book authors. They have…
I have siblings who live in Lincoln, Nebraska. Me and my family try to go visit them every year. It feels a bit like my second home and I get so much inspiration from our visits there. One thing I really love about being in the US is grocery shopping. I enjoy walking up and…
Today we visit Isabelle’s apartment , located in Stockholm Sweden. She lives there with her husband Erik, Daughter Della and baby boy Beppe. Enjoy: Isabelle’s casa: -I like to mix. -To fall in love with the things that surrounds us in our home. -The imperfection of something old. -And the perfection of old design. -Memories…
Good day! I am Jenny Brandt from the Swedish blog Dos Family. Thank you Grace for inviting me and my blog partner Isabelle Halling McAllister, for this guest blog opportunity. Isabelle and I have been blogging together for a year now. I photograph homes for our “Dos Visits” and Isabelle creates, crafts and alternates stuff…
I love that our son is getting to the age (3 1/2) where he loves to draw and craft. I try to foster this as much as possible and have a few favorite products that I thought I’d share here today. First, we keep a standard toolbox of all his crafting supplies (I originally saw…
A few months ago we threw a birthday party for our son, Ike. The folks over at Real Simple kindly posted it but I thought I’d share some of the details here. Mostly because I wanted to show that you can do a creative but stylish kid’s party all on a budget (and a little…
I’ve got a serious love for Japanese design and draw a lot of inspiration from it. The simple, natural and timeless designs really appeal to me. I also love the use of linens and natural fibers – something I’ll never tire of. For today’s post, I thought I would share some of my favorite Japanese…
I thought I’d share a quick, behind-the-scenes of designing and printing a letterpress product. SIMPLESONG is home to two (soon three!) printing presses including a Golding Pearl (c. 1906) and a tabletop Chandler & Price Pilot (c. 1940). I occasionally use metal or wood type but primarily use photopolymer plates allowing me to print pretty…
Our 3 year-old son started pre-school in the fall and I quickly became aware of the need to figure out what to do wit the artwork he brought home on a daily basis. I thought I’d share a few things we do to keep it clutter-free but still display and appreciate it. Hang on Ikea…
