My Pad Has Been Crashed

I'm so excited that Sherry and John from Young House Love 
—one of my all time fave blogs— virtually crashed our small abode in New York City. I have no words to describe how honored I am by Sherry's insanely beautiful write up in their fabulous blog. She definitely has a way with words (doesn't she?). But you don't have to believe me. See the beautiful post here and judge for yourself. BTW, I also want to give a warm welcome to all the new fans that have found my blog through this House Crashing. Thanks for the love, YHL!

P.S. The response to their post has been enormous and everybody has been requesting to see a floor plan of the apartment and more details on our furnishings. Everyone is curious how we managed to include so many storage solutions in such a small place. So, not to panic. As a result, and by popular demand, I'll soon be starting a new series in my blog illustrating how to live in 500 sq. feet, and showing examples on how we did it. Stay tuned!

Another YHL fan-turned-DesignerPad fan here! I adore your place. I currently live in a 900 sf apartment that I moved into from a 1400 sf single familly house. If anything can inspire me to make great use of our space it's your home! I was excited to see your couch pillows. I recently made some for my own modern-looking couch and I used a mix of patterns in like-colors as you did. When my friend saw the fabrics pre-sewing he told me that they didn't "go together" but I pushed on with my creations and love the mix of patterns with a similar color scheme.

Beautiful home! It is inspiring to see what you can do in such a small place. Wonderful :)

[Kiran]

Wow - I have no words to describe your place. It is that inspiring! I am so glad YHL crashed your place so that so many of us could be introduced to your talent. If ever you find yourself north of the border (Ottawa, Canada), do let me know. I would love to work with you on my place. Or if you would ever, ever consider advising via email, let me know!

Again, thanks :)

HI Kiran,
OMG, you're making me blush! you are so, so very kind and sweet. Your words mean lots to me. I'm not sure when I'll be going your way, but in the meantime, I would love to help you (at least virtually) with any design question or concern you might have about your place.
XO

I had already bookmarked your site and didn't realize until I checked back today that it was YOUR place on YHL. Your apartment is awesome. So gorgeous! Very nice work with all the DIY and making such a small footprint seem spacious, homey, and beautiful.

I also saw your home on YHL and your bedroom curtains are what I have been looking for! Could you share where you found them?

[Nancy]

Saw your house on YHL. I just love it - everything was so well thought out. I especially love the desk in the corner idea, I am in need of an area like that. And the post mentioned that you made the pillows yourself?? Love them!

[Kari]

Eduardo-
love your space... I am another YHL viewer- and I have to say that your modern aesthetic is so great- streamlined and beautiful and functional with some whimsy thrown in. Just finished a huge remodel/addition to my home - my hubby and I did all the work ourselves from the structural framing to the tiling and finish work and now the fun part- decorating! Your blog is inspiring me! Bookmarking you :)

[VillageStreetBarn]

Popping by from YHL... LOVE the place. I have a passion to make my home look minimalist-yet-lived in. Very inspired. Will be stopping and checking in again!

[Kathy]

I also found your site through YHL. I love your beautiful home and especially your artwall. I will definitely be back! Great job.

[Mary G.]

So so glad YHL crashed your home! You are inspiring and I will look forward to reading your blog. I love your style and use of color. What a beautiful space. I am a southern girl with a big ole 3500 sf house and I am sure you will provide much inspiration! You almost make me wish I were space challenged so that I could rise to the occasion as you have so brilliantly done - XXXOOO

Simply gorgeous.

And you have a French Bulldog named Oliver??? You are PERFECT. lol
