My San Francisco Apartment

While I try to decide how I want to decorate my new apartment in Los Angeles, I thought I'd share a few pictures of my old San Francisco apartment. Unfortunately, I didn't decorate much as I was always busy with work and school and hardly spent any time at my little tiny studio apartment but my favorite area was this one wall where I displayed my favorite shoes and a bench I had designed and built. It also happens to be Charcoal's favorite spot.

I love how crisp and refreshing the walls and furniture look, and then you splash a bit of intricate pattern with accented decor here and there. And the tufted sofa that you had in previous posts is gorgeous

Love that DIY wall decal babe! I'm sure as renters you're always trying to find the latest and greatest in design and decoration that's easy to apply and remove when the time comes...this is such a great idea! Charcoal sure is loving mama's bench...Hope to see the rest of the space in a future post!

Fantastic bench! You're very talented! I always admire people that are this crafty. Love the space and some very nice pieces there!

Your dog is so cute and the apartment looks great. I look forward to seeing your newly decorated digs.

You did a WONDERFUL job decorating your old apartment. I hope you share your new apt when you're all settled.

Also, you know I love that bench! I hope you brought that with you to LA.

Also also, I guess I missed when you moved to LA? How long have you been there?

so adorable i just love it. so chic and understated.

Waiting to see your LA apartment! good luck with settling down.

I never thought to make shoes a decorative piece on the walls, but it looks great! If only I had really nice shoes to display, haha.

That bench is insanely nice and even greater because it's under rows of gorgeous shoes!

I love everything about your apartment... putting your shoes on display alongside with your favorite items was genius. Been a follower of your blog for quite some time, but didn't make my mark until now. Can't wait to see what you do next!

Wow, your old apartment is gorgeous! I love how your shoes are on display like art (because they totally are, of course). What kind of guitar? Good luck with decorating your LA apartment! I'm sure it'll be stunning.

I love that wall and how you've chosen to display your favourite shoes. It's so inspiring.

Gosh your apartment's beautiful! I like how you placed the shoes, they're like mini sculptures :)

absolutely amazing!! love what you did with the shoes :)

the colors, the intricate and unique furniture pieces, and the collection of shoes? damn girl you have taste.

This looks like a photo spread in a Home-Decor magazine! I love the simplicity of it all. There doesnt seem to be much clutter!
That wooden bench seat is fab- although it doesnt appear that comfortable, it looks great. Similar to a pair of stunningly-uncomfortable shoes!

Love xx

I liked the light of your aparment and the idea of putting shoes on the shelves. People put their most valuable items on the shelf, nice point :))

I love decorating with my fav fashion items! I like to display vintage hats and I think keeping a garment rack of inspirational clothing items can also add an interesting touch to a room. Love your shoe wall!

I’m a new reader and have been very impressed with your recent posts. The way you displayed all the things is great, specially your boots and sandals.

For "not designing" your flat, it looks pretty stellar! Sometimes the minimalist take speaks volumes more. Looks fabulous!

it looked great ! love the idea of putting shoes on shelves ! <3 the guitars :D your dogg looks a bit scary tbh ^^ xo

The stencil (?) on your walls were are they from? Or is that paint?

a seriously gorgeous apartment!

I'm sure its not intentional, but gotta mention: its considered extremely disrespectful to put shoes in front of Indian gods or any other for that matter. Thought you should know. Lovely house though.

I love your blog ♥
It's fantastic! I love it!I love it!I love it!I love it!I love it!
I follow you from now ;)
See you soon in my blog :)

Thanks

I am currently searching for those exact shelves for that exact purpose for my bedroom. I love your interior style :)

http://fashionbosca.blogspot.com

what a fabulous little display of your shoes! great job with the picks too, all of the shoe colors work so well with your decor. i can't wait to see the photos of your new place!

I just came across your blog for the first time, its really great! Your SF apartment is so charming and full of character, with great splash of colour!

Your apartment is/was wonderful, and inspirational! Everything is so bright and airy, and I love that you incorporated your favorite shoes as part of the decor :)

I'm trying to decorate my own tiny SF studio right now - it's tough incorporating new, unique pieces with my existing Ikea furniture (yay for college furniture =p), while avoiding clutter at the same time!

I actually love your wall, it's so refreshing to look at. It was a perfect interior design for me. Your skills in designing was totally superb! Great Job Song of Style!

I love your wall decals, where can I get my hands on those?

i was reading your blog from the most recent posts.. so i didnt realize until now that you moved to la and weren't visitng! welcome to la! i live in la but from the sf area, so it's exciting to see your style in both places with the weather change and all!! :) look forward to more posts

Since your apartment was a studio unit, meaning it was small, it was better that there wasn’t a lot of decoration. Besides, the minimalist style is totally popular nowadays! That accent chair underneath the open shelves is pretty cool, actually. It really draws the eye.

J. Wang

I love how clean your apartment looks. I think it has to do with the white. It’s so clean and pristine that it makes the entire apartment seem open and airy. When walls are that white, it’s best to keep décor to a minimum to keep that uncluttered theme and feel going. I’m also loving the green frame of the mirror because it really pops above the light blue gray of the pattern behind it.

Christian Hou

I love the subtle animal theme/motif going in the entire apartment. I have to agree with Christian – the stark white of the walls makes the place looks so neat and clean. Joachim also made a great point about the minimalist design being ideal for the size of your unit. That bespoke bench is brilliant, by the way! Congratulations on your move to LA!

Lakisha Zimmerer

The design and arrangement of your room is perfect for minimalist living! Having shelves assembled in a vertical position can save space and can allow you to place your stuff in a proper order by simply utilizing the walls.The simplicity of the interior design makes your room an elegant and comfortable place to live in.
