Chic, Small Spaces

Recently, I've been looking to move into a studio intown.  They're typically cheaper, but much smaller (duh), but I think that smallness forces you to be more creative with your space.  Here are some of my favorite chic, small spaces.  Enjoy!

eBay Finds of the Day

Dearest Blog-Readers,

I am back on my eBay kick. I'd been avoiding it since my work hours were cut in half which prevented me from buying lovely, vintage Hollywood Regency or Modern lovelies. Oh well, I'm still window-shopping per se. And honestly, there are so many fantastic things on eBay. It's like going to one of those stores where you love just about everything. Oh well, enjoy the eBay finds below. I'm totally checking out those French yellow nightstands and that silver headboard to be honest.

French Decorative Nightstand

*I really love this silver headboard. I have a duvet cover with a metallic-y sea foam green triple piping and these shams from West Elm:


*Anyway, my plan is to 'accessorize with some turquoise throw pillows and a blankie and I think really think yellow would make the turquoise POP! I don't know about the metallic on metallic though. What do you think? I'm not buying anything anytime soon, so I have time to really think about this.*

My eBay At a Glance....

I have been very busy this past week, what with working on my site, painting these dining room chairs, assembling an Ikea table and working and educating myself. But since my birthday was yesterday, I gave myself a little shopping spree on eBay and found some amazing pieces that I can't wait to incorporate into my increasingly lovely, though still spartan, apartment. Take a look at the love below:
