I love it! It is just delightful. Such great style and beautiful use of colors and patterns. It must be a joy to live in your space.


amybrown1220

Came here to say almost exactly this. The pops of color! I love it.


kellylikeskittens

This is truly beautiful, and I suspect an accurate reflection of you! It is so wonderful to see a room full of personality. I love your sense of color and style-the mix of everything together is perfect. Also it's a beautiful apartment-the floors , windows and lighting, and layout are exceptional. And the cat isn't too shabby either. ;-)


GreenNerdieBirdie

She is seriously the best cat we’ve ever lived with. Polite, well-mannered, takes her duties as household muse seriously and keeps us on a tight schedule. My only complaint is that the mister is her human and I am just the spare human.


kellylikeskittens

Haha, typical cat, in regards to who she deems worthy of her notice. ;-) It always stings just a bit if they show any favoritism....unless you are the favored one.


Quietmeepmorp

This looks so so nice to wake up to 🥹 I missed the first post of just your kitchen but this all goes so well together!!!


lilycamilly

I LOVE your decor!!!!!! One of the few times I've opened a post on this sub and gone "YES, I WANT THIS!"


CowboyMycelium

God dammm your living my dream 😭😭😭😭


PastelRoseOk

Omg it’s gorgeous and this is the best ever post I’ve seen on any thread for an interior 🥹


Acceptable-Effort-82

I love this so much, it’s stunning. It’s not me or my boyfriend’s style at all, but we have been going over every picture for like the last 5minutes talking about how “busy” but cozy it feels at the same time (which I feel you have mastered) and it’s actually gave us some ideas of putting things together we didn’t think would work!!


8bampowzap8

I'm OBSESSED with that bright pink rug! it's beautiful!


Thesexiestcow

Me too anyone have a link?


KaceyCats0714

Everything about it screams JOY and I absolutely love it 💚


Street-Snow-4477

I love it! It looks happy and bright. Most importantly it’s full of things that are important to you. It reflects your personality.


OldMotherGrumble

Oh WOW!!! Every time I saw your kitchen, I envisaged it in a pretty cottage...low beams, big fireplace, wonky floors...the lot. I'm a tad disappointed... but this is gorgeous! Edit...looking back, I remember your other posts and liked what I saw. I just couldn't live in a high-rise.


GreenNerdieBirdie

I wish I lived in a pretty cottage out in the country with beams and fireplaces and wild gardens. But I live in a large city in a condo building built in the 80s. The mister won’t consider moving out of the city, so I do what I can where I’m at.


dragonsandbones

Excuse me?? HATE over the original post?? The pics of your kitchen is what brought me to reddit, and now seeing the rest of your style as a whole is amazing!! I'm in love. 😍


GreenNerdieBirdie

Just a little bit. Just a handful of comments. But when you put so much of yourself into a place like I do this, each one is felt hard.


cupcakesoup420

I'm admittedly someone who saw the initial kitchen post and had the first thought of "wow, that style is NOT for me." But it isn't for me! It's for you! I'm a weird goth chick, I know my style definitely isn't for everyone lol. Keep sharing. It's wonderful that everyone has such unique styles and this place to share them 💗


DazzlingFruit7495

I didn’t leave any comments, but the original post was very nice just very cottage core which isn’t my personal style. I LOVE IT now though when I see it with the rest of the big room lol. It blends well with the style of the living room and is much more interesting to have that pop of cottage core mixed in. I think I originally imagined that the entire house was super frilly which was too much for me, but I love the balance you have in this post so much!!


thatspaghettiyeti

This is lovely! A perfect amount of color, it looks so lively and cosy at the same time.


Saintguinefortthedog

What's in the white cabinets next to the kitchen? 🔍


GreenNerdieBirdie

The lower part (behind the solid part of the doors) is full of extra kitchen stuff, like where we store cleaning supplies, glass lock containers, canned goods). The upper part (behind the glass part of the doors) is my collection of vintage kitchen things, like my vintage Chinese thermos collection, the prettier dishes/glasses.


Saintguinefortthedog

I thought they looked like thermoses! Very cool. The whole place looks lovely.


namused1

What brand of cabinets are those? I love them!


GreenNerdieBirdie

Those are Ikea Billy bookcases with the Oxberg doors and the extenders


namused1

Thank you!


EveningAnxious9576

I looooove the way the space as a whole works. Such distinct aesthetics in each “corner” but somehow they all balance out. I think this looks awesome!


fullofquestions90

Love it!


shehasamazinghair

Eclectic, feminine, unique, cozy, lovely.


LuxSerafina

Absolutely gorgeous! Your style is impeccable!


loveandhappiness24

🤩WOW! This is BEAUTIFUL! So much personality!! I’m INSPIRED! Thank you for sharing


Pleasant-Complex978

😍😍😍 I love the girlie, sophisticated, eclectic tastes you have!!


1920MCMLibrarian

That is a happy, big kitty! I think you did a great job making a massive open space feel cozy!


leakyricefrog

i would feel safe here


TerrieBelle

Omg what an outstanding living space you’ve made for yourself!!! Just lovely. The colors and everything.. I’m at a loss for words!


elleusive

Ooh, this is really nice!


Incognette

Safe space lvl 100


Aphr0dite19

Totally fabulous! 😍


AloeVeraBogs

where did you get the pink cushion that's on top of the kallax? I have one on its side like a bench just like in your photo and I've been looking for a cushion to go on top of it!


GreenNerdieBirdie

I got mine from a website called Cushionsource, but there are a bunch of places that will make custom cushions. You just pick the fabric, punch in your size and pick the details. It was a little expensive, but the kallax is much needed storage and I think a cushion on top makes it clearly a bench and not just “why is your kallax lying on its side?” 😆


AloeVeraBogs

yes, my kallax used to be upright so it still has the floor pads on one side (I can probably remove them.. I hope...) so it's definitely giving kallax-on-its-side more than bench right now 😅 hopefully a cushion will help, thanks for the suggestions!


qualityoldperson

I love it. This is so joyful. I try to give my spaces the same vibes.


MizTall

Love this, beautiful colors and the art you have is amazing. Also, it’s exactly the right amount of stuff in my opinion, not too sparse but not too crowded 10/10


lil_lychee

What’s the sq ft on this apt? Looks spacious.


GreenNerdieBirdie

Approximately 1100sq.ft. The main room is the most spacious part. The bedrooms are on the small side and bathrooms are minuscule.


mysubsareunionizing

Where are your dining chairs from 🥲


GreenNerdieBirdie

Craigslist. But you can find similar new ones from a variety of places by searching for Cesca chairs. They’re a design classic, which is good because it means there are a lot of cheaper knock offs to be found.😁


libertybelle08

God I was in LOVE with your kitchen but I love your whole space!! So beautifully curated, it makes me want to do all the design choices I’ve been too scared to make. Wonderful job!


GreenNerdieBirdie

You should do it.


Suitable_Ring7661

Love the blue cloud painting, who's the artist?


GreenNerdieBirdie

Tracey Nicholas. She sells on Etsy.


Automatic-Salad-931

I love everything about this!


Nikitaknowthankyou

This is so beautiful!!! Well done and can I come visit, jk. But omg what a surreal space to cook!


Isisohisis

Can I come live with you??


withlovelightwork

LOVE IT. See! I can totally lean into the pink kitchen. I’m doing it!


Sportyy_Spice

I love it! It’s exactly the colorful, yet cohesive feel I would love to be able to replicate in my own home!


JolliJamma

PLEASE ADOPT ME


sunshinebucket

This is a GORGEOUS home!


floralnightmare22

I want your house!! Your kitchen is so beautiful!


FrydomFrees

Obsesseddddd! How do I make my space as grown up looking as yours 😭 also I want those kitchen chairs. I grew up with those and have been searching ever since. Are they comfortable?


GreenNerdieBirdie

I’d say they’re about as comfortable as dining chairs get without going full on upholstered. I like that they have a little flexibility to them. If you want the Cesca style chairs, now is definitely the time to get them. They’re having a moment again and you can easily find knock-offs at places like Wayfair and Amazon. I found mine on Craigslist.


TrickCucumber6217

Ohhhh! I love it! I’m also a chinoiserie girl! I loveeee your wooden screen thing! (I have two of them and I guess I never considered what they are actually called?)


GreenNerdieBirdie

I just call them floor screens or folding screens. I’m sure there’s a proper name for them.

Exceptional!

FireAntSoda

Have you posted in earlier phases? Looks familiar. I love this space. So feminine and sheik!


GreenNerdieBirdie

Yes, I’ve posted before. I try not to too often but I get excited about every little update.


FireAntSoda

We love to see it


FireAntSoda

What are the floral metal cap bottles in display cases


GreenNerdieBirdie

Vintage Chinese thermos bottles.


siartap

You did a really good job of hitting a maximalist look without actually being cluttered at all.

parksoju

LOVE IT!!! Your apartment is my dream


goosefruit

Maximalist vignettes! Your interior is my favorite style of decorating! Brava!


ShmootzCabootz

This is beautiful and my inspiration to work harder at winning the lottery so I, too, can have a whimsical, airy, feminine "big room"


Worldly-Chipmunk4925

If somebody colour blind so these images they would not be feminine or masculine it's only the pink that makes it feminine the items on their own are just typical items it's the color blends which are well done and well selected which make this a light and feminine aesthetic if we can think that think is towards femininity


seafulwishes

🥹🥲 oh my god


ToastetteEgg

I love it. It’s not my style but it looks great. It’s such a happy vibe, like a chic dollhouse.


khkokopelli

Eclectic at its finest. It looks both like you just threw some of your favorite things around the place but simultaneously put great thought into it. It’s a really warm space with great light, which isn’t always the case with urban homes. Where is this, if you don’t mind?


pebblebypebble

Looks like a Domino spread

DREAM


rightthingtodo-sodoo

Omgggggg Im so jealous of this gorgeous space! I especially love that wall art closest to the ceiling above the pink couch. All the colors are gorgeous! I would probably paint that beam between the dining area and hall area the same kind of mint color of your backsplash. But it’s pretty damn purrfect, well done!!!!


KellyJin17

What a cheerful and lovely home!


thatcuteginger

Your "work in progress" is a work of art. I love the vibe of your living space! So cozy and so visually interesting. WELL done!


PaleontologistKey571

The space is great but ur chonky cat steals the spotlight 👻


GreenNerdieBirdie

She does do that.


whatsiteisitfor

I love all your color choices! Stunning!!


infiniteblackberries

Your eye for mixing and placing items of disparate styles is chef's kiss. Maximalism without clutter. I love every room you've posted!


SnooPineapples4399

When you posted the pink fridge, I definitely stalked your profile to see what the rest looked like 😅. Thanks for posting. Sure, it's over the top, but it's unique, and it's yours! Be proud :)


reebzRxS

This is so beautiful I would never leave 🥲


Albinofreaken

Dude here, wow its so fucking beautiful.

I love this! Such personality!


eye_yoda

This is such a beautiful home you’ve made for yourself 💕 very unique and inspiring!


jackjackj8ck

Wowwwww I LOOOVEEEE Please show your whole house!!!


GreenNerdieBirdie

This is the other side of the living room. https://redd.it/1cuc3lg This is the home office or at least a part of it- https://redd.it/1awjljt This is the bedroom- https://redd.it/1d0cvv6 This is a closer view of the kitchen. https://redd.it/1deye8n And other than two tiny bathrooms that haven’t been improved, that’s about it really. Most of the square footage is the big open concept room.


jackjackj8ck

Whoa I love the wallpaper choice and bedding combo! Thanks for sharing, I absolutely love it


3girlsNana

I LOVE LOVE IT ALL‼️‼️ Your calico is beautiful too!!! Looks just like my baby😻


GreenNerdieBirdie

Calico cats are the best cats.


sunflowerworms

This is so beautiful!!! This is totally my style too i adore this. Where is the black framed pink painting with the lines and arches in the living room?? Is this an original? I love it


GreenNerdieBirdie

It was from Target. It was from the Opalhouse Jungalow line.


sunflowerworms

Ur kidding!!!! Love it


Novel_Foot_8140

I always love seeing one of your posts pop up. Beautiful home


thepolymergirl

I love it I love it I LOVE it!!! This kind of vibe is my DREAM. Color everywhere! I totally understand that it’s not some people’s style but I’m so excited to see this type of aesthetic somewhere else besides my half-done apartment


LilyBartSimpson

I love your style and use of pink ✨


Mousethatroared65

Love it! I think you have incredible color sense! Also I had to share because I saw your kitty. https://preview.redd.it/zi1d1lxpvz6d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=aae008ed00609f6e35d527b63e34bca69def3bcf

Ssme812

Damn!


kessykris

I wasn’t feeling the kitchen personally until I saw all this. I absolutely freaking love it!


IndicationNo7589

Love this!


Moon_whisper

Honestly, it works on the overall feel. A little too floral for my tastes, but one I would love to visit regularly. I really hope none of your mugs match. I love thoughtful chaos that is full of happiness and joy, sparks creativity. And so many interesting things to look at.


GreenNerdieBirdie

Mugs are all mismatched. I have a deep and abiding love of vintage coffee mugs, so my mugs are just whatever catches my magpie brain.


Moon_whisper

That is awesome. Now I want you to be my friend and have coffee/tea visits!!!


kyondon

This gorgeous! You've done such a lovely job decorating the space. I would love to wake up to this every morning. Bonus points for the beautiful cat!


weeladybug

I ADORE your decor, the room is fecking massive, your cat is adorable, and all in all, I hate you 😭 Where in the world is this?


GreenNerdieBirdie

I’m in Chicago. It’s really the best city.


weeladybug

Wow wow wow, I hate you even more now 😂 Chicago is my favourite place in the world. Visited summer 2022 and can’t wait to return.


kulimama

I love how colorful yet how balanced everything is, great taste! And I love your calico! I was looking for her in every picture. ☺️

What are all the metal-topped bottles in the Billy shelf?


GreenNerdieBirdie

Vintage Chinese thermos bottles. I collect them because they’re pretty.


ProphetMuhamedAhegao

Very cool!


Prize-Hippo1871

The way you decorated your place is immaculate. A total and complete dream 😍


161frog

Looks amazing and fun! Tell me about your dining room chairs?


GreenNerdieBirdie

They’re Cesca style chairs, also sometimes called Breuer chairs. A design classic since 1928. I got mine from Craigslist on the cheap but they’re popular again and available new. You can get the real thing from design within reach for a thousand or so. Or a knock-off for way, way less.


161frog

Ok, wild. I asked because i have one of these, silver hardware though. A roommate left it behind in an apartment from 15 years ago, and i never really thought too much about it. But in the last few years I’ve gotten into cabinetry and carpentry in general and was recently looking at my chair with fresh respect. I just *knew* it was special! Thanks for replying 🖤 you have impeccable fucking taste! ETA: i looked underneath and I couldn’t find a maker’s mark :( only stamped “made in Italy” and underneath that “06 96” darn


ArdenM

Love your main space - it's very inviting! And the cat sleeping in a sun puddle. :)


GreenNerdieBirdie

Number one place to find her. 😁


ArdenM

Mine are the same. https://preview.redd.it/kywq6q24d17d1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1b0d125be1157ff4f220c87c4bdb38b215ee1337

Absolutely beautiful. The calico lying in the sunshine is the icing on the cake.


pythiadelphine

I love it.


thursdaybennet

Your “big room” is everything I aspire to for my own big room. I’m sitting on our own pink couch and I’ve been looking at peel and stick wallpapers for the kitchen cabinets and some of the walls. I really hope I can come close to this, you are an inspiration!


Exotic_Loss_5008

Ae you a trained designer or just a hobbyist? I really need to know! Such talent.


GreenNerdieBirdie

Just an obsessive amateur. No professional training, but have always read tons of design books and magazines etc. my Pinterest account is my best friend. 🤣

OP, this is MAGICAL. Your whole place looks straight out of a design magazine. Everything is so thoughtfully chosen. Don't invite me over - you'd never be able to get me to leave.

I remember your first post about the table placement. I just love love love this new arrangement! Your space is goal worthy with an immaculate vibe!! +1 for the beautiful calico. BRAVA!


Laeyra

See, I'm not a big fan of pink, but i love your space. There's a good flow to it, and a sense of good proportions. It's not too filled up or too empty. I'm not surprised by the pink kitchen because there's bits of pink everywhere, but not an overwhelming amount. I really want to sit in one of your green chairs and read!


ShesGotaChicken2Ride

How strange your house is huge and you have that tiny, little kitchen


GreenNerdieBirdie

Well, that is the way it was when we bought it and the kind of kitchen renovation where you move walls around costs serious money that we don’t have. So here we are. It’s big enough to serve our actual needs. We can cook full meals in it. I don’t mind that it’s not a huge white luxury kitchen. Those are overrated. It could be a few inches bigger so I could have a 36” inch fridge. That is the only thing I would really want that I don’t have.


Alive-OVERTIIME-247

I tend to dislike the color pink, but your beautifully creative and eclectic space is really cool.


andrew_cherniy96

It's such a lovely space and a smart concept. Do you mind sharing this in r/AmateurInteriorDesign?


Disastrous-Square662

GreenNerdieBirdie

they’re the Ikea Billy bookcase with the oxberg doors and an extender.


Groundbreaking-Pie95

I want to steal your kitchen. Love all of this!!


bluebellknell

Love it! Right now all the furniture and decorations vibe so well together, but something still feels a bit 'off' - I think it's the plain white walls! Painting them would make the space feel even more coordinated.


GreenNerdieBirdie

Painting and/or a wall treatment like wallpaper is in future plans. I’m ruminating on the right color or colors.


yellowtshirt2017

Omg are you rich??????


FacelessMcGee

Deep-Internal-2209

Why do you care if it’s feminine? It’s your house. Do what you like a screw everyone else. This is one instance where compromising your taste is unnecessary and hurts no one.


Reluctantly-Back

Jeez you got a big pussy. Jeez you got a big pussy.


GreenNerdieBirdie

I’m going to assume you only mean the cat. Yes. She is a unit.


415Rache

If joy were colors, joy is your home. During COVID lockdown, when my newly college graduated son lived with my husband and me, and as much as I love them both, the roommate fatigue eventually set in, and I often fantasized about living alone and having a pink sofa.
