We did manage to take a few last minute "before" pictures; however, they were with Pat's camera phone and are a bit blurry. But I am SO glad that he took them because it is so fun to see the progress.

Our place is small (about 450-500 sq/ft) and old but we love it. We feel so lucky to have found it and to be able to make it our home.
Oh my goodness, I don't think there are words to describe your talent! Seriously, if you don't become a professional artist I'm coming after you. Much love :)
ReplyDeleteI had to look at these again. They are amazing! Come stay with me and help me redecorate!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE IT!!!!!! Can't wait to come visit and see it in person.
ReplyDeleteWow! So, so impressive. It looks amazing.
ReplyDeleteOH MY WORD! That is the most beautiful apartment I have ever seen. You are hired not only as a photographer but also a designer/decorator! I'm so afraid of color b/c I can't put it together, but you've got it girl! You can do anything with color!
ReplyDeleteOk, I've got to comment again b/c I absolutely love your apartment! I love the window treatments, the huge mirror, that awesome red chair, your coat rack, the 2 tone paint stripes in your living room, your ferret mansion, your yellow tv stand/boookcase, your awesome pillows, and on and on! Oh and I love the lamps! Seriously - come save my taupe and black house!
ReplyDeleteI am suprised you could paint it. how fun. you are extra talented. Where ever did you get it from!!
ReplyDeleteI am so happy you took these pictures because now I can show people what I'm talking about when I say my friend has the cutest apartment in the city. Possibly the cutest apartment I've ever seen! You are so talented! I LOVE your place. I would hire you as an interior decorator! Love love love your place. And I didn't realize you painted the inside of your door red! I thought it was already like that! You are a genius and I love it!
ReplyDeleteLindsay! You can't be serious! Your place is ridiculous!! You are SO talented. You should submit this into Apartment Therapy, and if you don't, I will for you! :)
ReplyDeleteOh my holy cows. Apartment therapy say what?
ReplyDeleteHI! It's Julie :) SO happy I found your blog. Come do my apartment? Yours looks incredible!
ReplyDeleteSeriously! I can't believe how cute your apartment is. You are good at EVERYTHING!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your apartment! Lindsay you are so good at decorating! Can I fly you back here and have you do ours? We miss you guys and I am so glad you are out there having such a good time!!!
ReplyDeleteI am in awe of your talent Linds! Your apartment is so warm and inviting. I was showing Matt the before's and then scrolling down to the after's and he was amazed.
ReplyDeleteWant to come to phoenix and decorate for me? No really?
ReplyDeleteChris and I have been back to look at this like 5 times. Your apartment is the perfect balance of color. I cannot wait to get into a place I can really call my own (paint, buy furniture we actually plan on keeping etc haha) but I am sure it wont be as awesome as this. It may very well be in new york tho so I may be giving you a call if you are still there! :)
ReplyDeleteI am in love with your apartment! Great color choices and fun accessories and decor!
ReplyDeleteLindsay, this is MAJOR eye candy. Seeing the before and after really made it sink in how AMAZING your apartment is. You are great. You should just quit your job and become an interior decorator. I feel like it fits you and Pat so well also, which is super cool. So many people's homes are really well decorated but it doesn't fit them. So, bravo! You did great!!!
ReplyDeletep.s. You are going to get SO many visitors now! Your place will be at the top of everyone's list to stay at!
Ok, wow. A BIG wow, is all I can say. You are incredible! I didn't know you had such talent! Does it come just naturally, or did you go to design school? Amazing.
ReplyDeleteOh My Gosh! ! ! You are as talented decorating as you are with your photography. I love the colors of the walls/wallpaper/drapes etc., etc. You did a terrific job. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHOLY COWWWW! are you kidding me? I was just catching up on your blog and there have been a bunch I've wanted to comment on but didnt out of embarrassment that I've made it this far back in your posts, but this NEEDS a comment! haha. You did such an amazing job decorating! I am beyond impressed, seriously. Lets make an organizing and decorating business together! ;)
ReplyDeleteSo, Abbie sent me your way and oh my!!!! It is beautiful! So impressive everything you did and in such a short amount of time. I've been in my house 3 years and still have such a long list. You are so very talented.
ReplyDeleteI, too came from Abbie White's blog... you've done an AMAZING job. I guess you probably already know that by now, but it never hurts to hear it again, right? :) Well done!
ReplyDeleteWow! I love every single thing about your apartment. You have such a great eye! And way to maximize your space! I absolutely love the stripes on your living room wall. How much of a pain was it to do? And where did you get your curtains? - nicole
ReplyDeleteThe stripes on my wall were SUPER easy to do. I just measure out the different widths of the stripes on the top of the wall and on the bottom. Then all I did was get paint-tape and tape it to the measurement on the top and pull it super tight and matched it to the measurement on the bottom. And that is it! And I got my curtains at a REALLY expensive store called...Walmart. haha
ReplyDeleteand the curtains in the bedroom are from Target.
ReplyDeletethank you! you are my DIY/decorating hero! - n.
ReplyDeletethis is unbelievable - your apartment is to die for! You must love coming home everyday. It's just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHi Lindsay, I came across your blog through a friend of a friends....hoping you can tell me where you got that awesome coat rack in your front hall, I love it! I love your taste!
ReplyDeleteHey Alison! I got the vinyl coat rack from Etsy found here:

Then I bought wooden dowels and painted them black and screwed them into the wall. If there are no studs in the wall you will need to buy drywall anchors (I think that is the name) so you can hang heavy bags on the dowels. That is what I did, but there may be an easier way!
love what you did with your place. It's really really impressive :)
