Mid-Century Meets Turn-of-the-Century in this Victorian Apartment


I came across this apartment tour today and immediately found myself crushing on the dweller's style and penchant for making small, awkward spaces work. Plus, it's a turn-of-the-century apartment filled with mid-century modern touches. What's not to love?

Above, industrial chairs take their place at a table that not only offers storage tucked away underneath, but also folds down and create extra space. 


The trim, tall windows, high ceilings, and this long hallway reminds me fondly of my own place - if only I were allowed to give everything a fresh coat of paint. (I need to ask my landlord about that...)


This glass paneled cabinet next to the fridge provides extra storage - plus it's pretty and shows off pretty kitchen things like white dinnerware, mint canisters, and that gorgeous mixer. Definitely has me rethinking my little cabinet with its solid doors. 


The kitchen is tiny (like mine) and she makes use of space in smart ways. A rod hung behind the sink is a place to hang buckets perfect for storing measuring spoons and other tiny kitchen items within easy reach. 


Such a pretty bathroom. What I'm really ga-ga over is the tray on the clawfoot tub. I really need to get one of those. 


Expertly curated eclectic gallery wall. Need I say more?


And oh, this dresser! I love the idea of keeping a minimal, clutter-free dresser top. ...But I'm just not that kind of decorator. :) 

I only shared a handful of my favorite photos from Megan's Mid-C + Modern Mix in Denver. Head over to Apartment Therapy to get all the juicy decor details and see more snapshots of her lovely space!

DIY Cat Barrier for Under $100 (See-Through, Climb-Proof, and Too-Tall-To-Jump)

ICYMI: I gave up Cotton after deciding that after trying so many things, my two adopted cats Dahlia and Cotton were just never going to get along. Long story short: I missed her. And Cotton's back. And Dahlia's not going anywhere. My heart is big enough to keep trying. And my apartment is big enough that if I need to keep them separated long term (or permanently), it can be done.
I'm going to write-up a separate post about some of the solutions I've tried, how they worked, who they worked on, and what I'll be trying next. But in this post, I wanted to share the main 'piece de resistance' of having both cats in my apartment: an un-climbable, un-jumpable, see-through barrier to separate Cotton and Dahlia.

Aniela, a lovely reader from Germany, sent me an email requesting advice on recreating the style of Penny's apartment on Big Bang Theory. 

Blair's Room | Gossip Girl Decor

Manhattan's debutante Blair Waldorf happens to be my favorite Gossip Girl character.  Her behavior and feelings vary from snobbish to sensitive, but she always (except for a few rare occasions) looks and acts totally pulled together.  Her luxurious bedroom is fit for a queen---and is as pulled together as her preppy fashion ensembles.
