I feel so thankful to live in such a creative space. I get to work somewhere that constantly inspires and surprises me (sometimes those surprises are spiders, but let's overlook that!). We've taken a glorified basement style loft and transformed it into a place we call home. Twinklelights everywhere, because why not right?! Sometimes it almost feels like we live in a planetarium.
I can't wait to have a normal sized hot water heater and a bath tub, but for now I'm happy with our concrete floors and "everything is dusty within 15 minutes of wiping it down" home sweet home. It fits our current situation and we're happy to have a roof over our heads.







The lighting is far from ideal so it's almost impossible to get decent photos but these will serve as a little taste of our home. Excuse the random boxes, giant softbox, and plentiful Honeybean shoes... our home is our office and our storage shed! We've got an always-stocked bar, wicker furniture perfect for a garden party, and an antique pink couch that I can't seem to get rid of. (It's kind of like the girls' couch [obviously!] but I'm hoping to have it reupholstered eventually!) Home sweet home, here you have it! xo
Are you decorating for the holidays?
OMG OMG OMG it's seriously like a dream land!! I loove everything, you've done a great job :)
ReplyDeleteIt looks sooo cozy!!! I love all the lights and they definitely brighten up the space :) and of course, cutest pooches
ReplyDeleteI love your loft! It's adorable.
ReplyDeleteIt's so inspiring. :)
I'm working my way to get a cute little loft/one bedroom apartment. I can't wait!

Oh my gosh, your loft is so gorgeous! Twinkle lights are seriously some of the best things ever. My boyfriend's apartment is currently filled with them for Christmas and I'm loving it :D
ReplyDeleteThis is the type of home I want someday! Personal and unique! You rock girl!

I always meant to ask if your floors were always cold. I imagined it cold. and I miss bathtubs too. In my future house, it will have a bathtub I comfortably fit in. But like you, I'm grateful it is what it is.

The twinkle lights are SO magical. I love the pictures of your furbabies that you snuck in at the end too. They're so sweet! Obviously they're quite happy at your home-sweet-home too.

i actually really love the lighting...it looks really natural and pretty. i love all of the twinkle lights everywhere too. you've done a great job, i know how hard it can be to decorate a loft, i used to live in one as well...especially with two people.
ReplyDeletecan i come over and play dress up now?
I love love your loft! We want to put lights around our air duct in ours but we need a ladder
ReplyDeleteTHIS is your home?! Oh my gosh, it's freaking GORGEOUS... Jen and I have been thinking of moving into the basement and this totes reaffirms that thought!
ReplyDeleteLovely! Some of my favorite memories are from when we lived in a room in a very crowded house D:
ReplyDeleteI love my loft but I have the same problem, ice cold concrete floors and constant dust bunnies! The upside is the ability to break down and build up as you please. Ours is everything from a play area for the mastiffs, to a music studio, to a proudly displayed shoe closet :) its the first place we've lived that's felt like home
ReplyDeleteI love all the lights!! :) I just got some for my dressing room a little while ago. They hang over the top of my dresser mirror and look so pretty at night! I can't wait to have my house all decorated and just the way I like it. Hopefully it will be all done early next year and I can finally take some photos!

I've always thought it would be awesome to live in a loft! I love your space!
ReplyDeleteYour apartment is so lovely! And your shoe collection is to die for! :)
ReplyDeleteOMG!!! This is totally amazing...however I would expect nothing less!
ReplyDeleteI am excited for Christmas as well...its mine and my hubs first Christmas together. My mother in law sent us all the vintage handmade ornaments from 79-82. I was ELATED!
However I still need a tree skirt, topper, and a few more ornaments... I am super happy with the results!
I posted a pic on facebook...and Im your friend there. Melissa Saul. If you want to check it out!
Really diggin' those lights! Your tree looks wonderful,too. I do have a question. Is that a window or mirror where those white curtains are in the first photo? :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a truly dreamy space <3 I absolutely adore the fairy lights - every day is like Christmas!

ReplyDeleteI saw a preview of this on my Bloglovin' app on my phone and had to come and get a better peek! Your place is so lovely!! I bet it's a really inspiring place to create things!
ReplyDeleteI am majorly jealous of all your twinkle lights. Stupid dorm rules. I want my twinkles! Oh well. I've put up a tiny little white tree with teeny ornaments in my dorm's common area, and that'll do for now.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your place! To me, it looks perfect, I love seeing what people do with one room/loft places. I'm just sitting here at my computer thinking how beautiful it looks.
ReplyDeleteYou can never go wrong with twinkle lights, IMHO.
i love your house! it has such a big space but it is super cozy! most of people I know who have big space have awful homes, I feel in them cold and.. weird.. but If I could visit your house I'm sure I would feel like home.. sooo colorful! <3 ;o
ReplyDeleteI adore your space! It has so much character. It's absolutely adorable. :-)
ReplyDeleteIt's literally like my dream apartment! I love how cozy and homely you've made it! Looks like it's got a real Kaelah and Mike stamp on it! beaut!

ReplyDeleteCute space! I like how you'd made an industrial loft look so cozy. My friend is looking for a place in Nashville like this...I'm hoping she can find (and afford) something similar. If you know of anywhere off the top of your head, I'd love to pass on info to her :)
ReplyDeleteAlso, I love your chest/bar. And your babies always look so adorable. I don't know how you don't just sit and stare at them all day...I would never get any work done!
Aww that is like my dream house! I love loft style apartments. I love the lights! I'm rather jealous :P Hopefully one day I'll have a house like this :) xx
