Loft Love

I  thought I’d share some pictures of our loft that I took recently for Apartment Therapy’s Small Cool Contest. Sadly, I don’t think our place was chosen for the contest, although the deadline for submissions isn’t until April 18th, so maybe they are just sifting through all the applications and haven’t gotten to mine yet. I’ll keep you all posted and will be asking for your vote if I make it :).

As for my photos, I did my best with my trusty Digital Rebel (and lack of good photography skills), but I’m hoping to have some professional pics taken sometime soon that will hopefully do a better job of showing our place.  Without further adieu, here is a look at our 766 square foot humble abode:

“Guest Log” from our wedding.

Entryway table with vintage suitcases used at our wedding.

Another shot of the entryway. With only one closet in our place, furniture that doubles as storage is a must. Theres’s all sorts of stuff in those colorful Ikea boxes.

Close up shot – some Wazzu love I got from Etsy as a Christmas gift for the Mr., a painting of the Spanish Steps from a vacation in Rome, a lantern from Ikea, and some antlers I brought home from a trip to Austin.

Our DIY pipe/reclaimed wood dining table and West Elm chairs. Check out how we made our table  here.

Target leaning bookshelf (bought on Craigslist) turned bar, topped with a succulent terrarium.

Aerial view from our bedroom/loft.

DIY pillows and coffee table decoration. The license plate picture is an Aaron Foster design on canvas. We would have loved the real deal, but it was a bit out of our price range.

The kitchen and a peak at our ‘bedroom’. I fell in love with this cabinet from Pottery Barn and was able to score it for 1/3 of the cost on Craigslist! The storage it provides in our kitchen is great and I love being able to display all our goodies 🙂

Just up the stairs from our dining/living area is our ‘bedroom’. West Elm bedding and our personalized gallery wall. Our bed also doubles as storage with two deep drawers.

DIY desk used as a guest station at our wedding. I recently added a couple of fun finds since my latest pictures.

And there you have it, folks. We love our little loft and hope you enjoyed checkin’ it out too!
