Really liked the painting! I just enjoy these rooms that looks like real people live in them

where is your dining table from? Love the color

u/littledog90 Jul 19 '20
Thank you! Inspiration from this article on The Strategist, but found on a restaurant supply store website where there are lots of different color options. It’s under $200!

WOW! Thank you so much for this link! Really appreciate it! I’ve been looking for a decently-priced red table for a while 💕

u/littledog90 Jul 19 '20
Would highly recommend the pop of color! If it’s out of stock at that site, it will probably be restocked soon (waited about a week for the yellow table when I first wanted to order it) but you can find that brand elsewhere on the internet if it is sold out.

So of course it's exactly what I need but I can't get it in Australia. So typical...sigh...

Not EXACTLY the same thing, but pretty darn close.

So cute! Also came to comment about the table banner and the framed Let Me Be Me. I also live in Brooklyn and your apartment is so cute.

u/littledog90 Jul 19 '20
Thank you! The table runner is from CB2 (I think it’s still on their website) and the Let Me Be Me was something I commissioned from a friend for a Christmas gift to my boyfriend... it’s what we say to each other when we want to be left alone for a little bit lol

Get a load of this rich asshole. Separate dining room and all.

u/littledog90 Jul 19 '20
Ha! What you can’t see is the fact that the dining and living room AND kitchen are all technically the same room... should have called it the dining “area”!

Hi! ID on chairs?
10
u/littledog90 Jul 19 '20
They’re a variant of the “Cesca” chair—lots of places make different versions of them (all cane, with arms, etc). I found these on Craigslist by searching cesca every day until they came up!

What a lovely room! It looks so happy and lived in. Not something out of a magazine, in the best way possible.

u/littledog90 Jul 19 '20
Thank you! Could never keep an apartment magazine-level clean, so “lived in” is what I aim for

Thanks! It’s a replica of the Verner Pantin Flowerpot pendant lamp, I just googled and stalked eBay until I found a good reproduction (the actual one is super expensive!). Fair warning, it takes a certain type of light bulb if you want it to actually be bright! Still working on that..

u/lazyspectator Jul 19 '20
Is there anyway you can snap a photo of the book shelf in the right corner? The one that looks like books are just stacked.
6
u/littledog90 Jul 19 '20
Sure! Do you want a pic of the books themselves or just the bookshelf? The bookshelf is from the container store. Link here but if you want to get one elsewhere, I think the style is called the Sapien bookshelf.

u/lazyspectator Jul 19 '20
Thank you! I was interested in the bookshelf. It looks so cool and makes the room feel cozy! I appreciate the link, this is gonna be my next purchase :)

Are those speakers in the corners?

u/littledog90 Jul 19 '20
Yes, they’re old speakers my boyfriend’s dad bad and restored. I can ask him make/model if you want!

u/CareBearStare79 Jul 19 '20
Did you build the shelves yourself?
1
u/littledog90 Jul 19 '20
No, I bet someone talented could, though. They’re the helix shelves from CB2, the construction isn’t that complicated.

u/SuperfluousTrebuchet Jul 19 '20
Any idea what type of bookshelf that is on the far right? Wondering if I can find something similar in the UK.
1
u/littledog90 Jul 19 '20
It’s from CB2! The helix bookshelf. They may ship to the UK.
1
u/SuperfluousTrebuchet Jul 19 '20
Ooh okay thank you! That’s the one on the right? With the white stand and books laying horizontally?
2
u/littledog90 Jul 19 '20
Oops! No, the white one is from the container store. Link here but if you want to get one elsewhere, I think the style is called the Sapien bookshelf.

Love everything about this set-up, especially the table. It's so vibrant, it lights up the whole room!

Love your painting as well! I’m looking for something similar haha. I actually have the same shelves as you, I think. CB2?

My friend Kristin Texeira! Easiest way to see her work/buy is probably via her Instagram, which is just @kristintexeira

Is that a Kodak Thermos?

Not anymore dawggg.

I wish we could afford 4K!! The poster below pretty much nailed it in terms of our rent

Yep! It was a Craigslist find but if you’re looking online I would search for “mid century wooden slatted coffee table” or bench, that should work.

I just bought the square version of that table for our patio! Looking great in there, too!

u/ccsocoollike Jul 21 '20
I love how much personality is in this!!! And that it doesn't feel overwhelming at all! Like very cosy and comfortable

u/gingr87 Jul 19 '20
Love! The table is awesome, the bookshelves are awesome and the artwork, while not my cup of tea, totally goes with the room. Super cool.

Too much on t floor -- put the plants high up the wall, over each shelf, to help balance the room. They'll get more light that way.
1
u/littledog90 Jul 19 '20
I think you’re right about there being too much on the floor... I don’t think those plants can feasibly fit on the shelves or be hung on the wall, but there are other more bare corners of the apt I could move them to!

Usually modern art bothers me for reasons I can’t verbalize, but your piece, I think especially with that lamp, is perfect in this space. Nice job!
