here are a few glimpses of our new space! keep in mind that we're now in a very small studio space - less than 700 square feet, to be exact - with a completely open floor plan. coming from a home that was twice as large, this has created some interesting challenges to say the least. but it has also given me a golden opportunity to consider what we really need, and what we really don't need. a very cleansing and organizational process, to be sure! here is how it looks so far...
dining area (taken from the kitchen)...

dining area cabinets...

kitchen (i'm missing my beloved maple cabinets!)...

maya's bedroom area...

nature table, eames chair and rug...

our king size bed...

the studio is basically L-shaped, with the front door opening directly into the kitchen and dining area. the bedroom area is just beyond that, with a smaller area opening out and to the left - which is maya's bedroom space. the nature table, eames chair and rug occupy the easeway between these two bedroom areas. a small closet and bathroom are also adjacent to this space. we painted the walls, throughout, the same color as the kitchen and master bedroom in our other home - a soft lemon-lime green - which perfectly suits this small space and keeps it light and bright.
more photos and details to come as i get a bit more organized...
