400' Of Cute Studio

Slightly over 400' sq feet studio

Borrowed treasures from home, some

film castoffs and craigs list 

and creativity = a charming space for DD.

I think she made a wonderful nest. 

Aunt Iva's old trunk (storage)

This IKEA couch has (storage) under the chaise area and there

is a pop up section, that turns it into a queen bed for guests.

DD remade the butterfly collection 

she found cheap in thrift store.

We found the shelves at Target

 for less than $21 total including brackets.

 Most of knick knacks are from her room at home,

and painted vases $4 ea at target clearance.

Boxes and tins hold desk supplies since she has no drawers.

Simple table used for desk

Divided cubby from Mom's hallway

 frees up limited cabinet space.

Vintage yellow cabinet from my

 family room acts as a pantry;

they secured it to cabinets behind. 

It also helps visually separate the kitchen.

Chalkboard back of cabinets backs up to couch,

and provides "leaning" area.

These were the two unpainted cabinets 

we bought from Lowe's and then we added a laminate top. 

This added two cupboards and two drawers to kitchen

as well as much needed counter space.

I found orange top canisters for $4 each.

Vintage cabinet on right from DD's room at home,

dining table from Mom's living room.

Chairs - We got deal from Target for $17 each due to 

metal caps missing from legs. Pays to "Ask for discount"

Linens from home

Stacked end tables $24 make another bedside table

and two bins inside act as drawers and hide clutter.

Rusty wire circle memo holder was

 found in desert dump in lala.

The trunk moves to the base of bed 

when couch is in pull up mode.

Bed on risers with end to end bins (storage) underneath.

Metal calendar purchased at BIG NSS sale,

 painting is one of DD's.

I just bought her the above sink drainer from IKEA,

since there is no other space to air dry dishes.

I thought it was so clever.

Except for fridge you see the

 entire kitchen provided by apt.

Believe it or not they could entertain 10 for dinner

with the seating inside and on porch. 

Folding table, two chairs from Mom's yard

sit on wee patio.

Atrium on bottom floor sends all this green up to her,

along with lots of hummingbirds.

The whole studio is rich with color- hard to tell here..

Blue tiled fireplace and wall mounted tv area

are the last space being tweaked (show when complete)

Two closets and a small bath complete the space.

I could live here so easy peasy.

Yes there is more purging, downsizing,

simplifying headed my way.

I am obsessed with the tiny house movement.
