Note to Self: Remember this for when you move to Brooklyn.

 
When all that turns up are cramped, dimly-lit, depressing living quarters in my regular New York apartment Craigslist searches, it can really do a number on one's spirits. But this breath of fresh air apartment proves there really is hope! It just takes a bit of decorating magic. Bright colors, small-scaled yet dramatic furniture pieces, and creative use of space allowed designer Nick Olson to transform this 300 sq foot Brooklyn studio into a beautiful, livable home. I love every detail from the purple chair to the green-trimmed drapes to the photo-smothered refrigerator. What a cozy place to call home.

This is gorgeous, and truly inspiring! I just moved to a studio and have been looking for small-space inspiration. Thanks for sharing!

I could not agree more - how great is the light in that place. This post made me start rethinking where I put stuff in my little apartment in the sky. I'm inspired to start moving things around tomorrow. :)

The place is great! Like the flashes of colour - the green zig-zagged stripes and the huge piece of art in the living room, these pics have inspired me to create a New-York style apartment using mydeco's 3D room planner, thanks for the inspiration!
