An Adorable Studio Apartment Tour & An Announcement

T his adorable studio apartment is the home where one of my daughter’s friends and fellow interior design classmates, Michaela (of Michaela Noelle Designs ), lived while finishing her design studies. I’m showing her home to you today not only because it is SO cute (not your average college apartment, right?) but because I have a special announcement about Michaela and I wanted you to be properly introduced!

My lovely daughter Courtney (on the right) recently graduated with her degree in Interior Design. Yes, I’m so proud of her (as I am of all three of my kids!). Michaela (also lovely, and on the left) graduated in the same class and is a good friend of Courtney’s. They are both so talented in many ways and have great taste … not to mention they are two of the sweetest girls you’ll ever meet.

Courtney not only helps me here on The Inspired Room  with projects, collages and design ideas as well as now working full time for Restoration Hardware, but was also very involved in the design of our recent kitchen remodel . It is wonderful having a trusted opinion and fresh perspective! I valued her guidance, help and input so much while we were working on the kitchen, not to mention it was so fun working with both of my girls on a big project like that!

My other lovely daughter, Kylee , has evolved into my project manager and she keeps me on task (something I desperately need or I would chase after far too many shiny things) as well as being the creator of some of the amazing hand drawn art and recipes you might have seen on The Inspired Room . I’m very blessed to have such a creative and supportive family! I love working with my girls — I feel so blessed!

One of the things we have often joked about, though, is that they need another sister.  When the three of us get together, ideas start flowing and we can’t even keep up with ourselves. Haha! Yes, they have a 13 year old brother we adore but so far he doesn’t share our enthusiasm for decorating or DIY projects. Humpf. Although I will say he is pleased with the results of some of our projects like the ice cream party  so there is hope for him.

While we are absolutely thrilled with life right now as it is, there are always more dreams and things we want to do than hands to do them. We love being creative and doing projects and expanding what we do. We thrive on that energy. It is just how we are, thus the dream of another sister!  After all, there are only so many hours in a day and we all have outside jobs or volunteer work we care about so we don’t have endless time to keep up with our ideas. So that is where Michaela comes in!

After a recent meeting at a Seattle cafe (with big mugs of coffee — how many of our big ideas are born, haha), it was concluded that Michaela may in fact be my girls’ long lost sister. So now you know. We are adopting her.

HA! Well, no. Not really, but we are going to include her and her awesome ideas on The Inspired Room, so that is almost the same thing around here, right?! Starting next month she will officially be a part of our team of girls here, helping us out once a month with some adorable DIY ideas and posts on entertaining that I know you will love and be completely inspired by.

We think she has amazing ideas and great style that will be a great complement to what we do here! We are thrilled to have another sister on board who is as enthusiastic as we are about design and blogging and life — we know you’ll love her too.

I totally thought you were going to announce a for-real adoption!

I’m so THRILLED to be joining The Inspired Room team. And if you wanted to adopt me, that’d be quite alright :) Waking up every morning to make breakfast in your kitchen…dreamy! :)

How adorable! (The girls and the room.) Love the industrial mixed with the girly in that apartment.

Their apartment is adorable! Wow! Love it! And I love your announcement! How exciting! I can’t wait to see what happens on The Inspired Room during your favorite season…Autumn!!!

Love her cross collection!

I love that you girls have so much fun working on things together. Excited for you!

What a wonderful mom you are-you and the girls are very talented-thanks for sharing.

What a super sweet post and a super cute apartment! I can’t begin to imagine the amount of creativity that is just overflowing when the three of you get together! (especially with coffee. :))

OK, I think you just won the title of best mom ever!!! congrats to the girls and congrats to you for all the fun help you are getting! Shawna

What a cute apartment! And…welcome Michaela!! How awesome to have like minded daughters and friends to work with.

Michaela, I look forward to your posts and teamwork! This blog, this cyber home, is aptly named “inspired” — it is always a pleasure to visit.

How fun! More creative minds are better than one! Can’t wait to see the new input!

What a lovely place. Such inspiring young women. Congrats on joining The Inspired Room team! :)

How sweet and what a bunch of talented women you have on your team. How wonderful is that? Great apartment btw, can’t wait to see what new goodies show up.

That is NOT your average studio….let alone for college girls….and it is absolutely adorable in every way. Her style is perfect for you Melissa. And I must tell you that I am totally envious of you. After being an only and then not having the blessing of children, my heart swells at this blessing of working with your girls and now a third, too. There is no question. You are absolutely having too much fun. I love your remark about chasing shiny things. :) Squirrel!! Haha! I cannot wait to see what you have in store. It will no doubt be amazing!!! Truly. Now, I’m off to see Michaela’s blog. Wishing you An Extraordinary Day!!

I LOVE studio apartments that are well done, and this is certainly no exception! I used to live in a 550 sq. ft apartment (so no studio by any means, but definitely still small) and I wish I’d taken the opportunity to decorate to my heart’s content. Unfortunately, I shared it with a tyrant and everything had to be cleared first. Thank goodness for getting rid of him!

What a cute apartment! Michaela, I love the great style that you managed to cram into such a small space. Welcome to the team! Looking forward to seeing things through a fresh new pair of eyes! (I’m new to this site but loving it so far – I’m sure it’s just going to get better from here!)

Hi Melissa, What a great idea and how fun to have a young and talented new designer on board with you and your girls. Looking forward to what she will be offering here. If you have a chance stop by my blog today, I did a Summer tour of my home today! xo Kathysue

This is so sweet Melissa. I can only imagine how amazing and what a blessing it is to live out your dreams and then to have your own two daughters come along side you, work with you, and chase after their own dreams through it. That is like a momma dream come true. I can only hope to have my own daughters one day to share even just a piece of that same passion. And Michaela is just so talented, sweet, and has big things ahead of her…including this! Looking forward to seeing what she has to share here at the Inspired Room. xo

One can never have too many sisters or too much creativity. How fun.

Fondly, Glenda

BEAUTIFUL home! Congratulations on the new addition :) Looking forward to more gorgeous things to come…

I love that apartment! So clean and fresh looking. And I love the little splashes of color like the bird art and the green cupboard! Gorgeous!

New York’s Most Unique Apartments: 300 sq. ft. studio tour

September 3, 2020 | sarah funky.

In this new series, I’m going to take you into New York’s most unique apartments . Our first location is an adorable 300 sq. ft. West Village Studio in a landmarked building. It may be small, but it is mighty!

Watch the video tour!

The reason I included this studio in New York’s most unique apartments series is because of how innovative the owner was with space. Although it is only 300 sq ft (27 sq m), she managed to fit everything you need in it.

This apartment is being rented through Corcoran. Click here to learn the current price or email Maura at [email protected] to schedule a tour.

Where is it located?

This adorable studio is located in the West Village , Meatpacking, and Chelsea. The area is known for great dining, boutique shopping, and fun attractions; such as The High Line, Hudson River Park, The Whitney Museum, and Chelsea Market . It is also near Bleecker Street Pizza , which is my favorite pizza place in New York.

Watch my West Village Video Guide (and subscribe)!

New York’s Most Unique Apartments tour

The adorable living room/bedroom.

The landmarked building was completed in 1878 and is located on one of the West Village’s most picturesque tree-lined blocks. The first-floor parlor level apartment has 9.5 ft high ceilings and an exposed brick wall that has a fireplace (not working but cute nonetheless). On the floor, there is beautiful hardwood oak wood.

The bed is elevated above a 4’8″ x 8’8″ space that can be used as an office, walk-in closet, or something else. There is a rolling ladder that stretches from the bed to the edge of the living room. This makes it easy to climb into bed or reach one of the ample storage shelves in the unit.

An open and renovated Kitchen

The open kitchen was recently renovated with blonde Silestone countertops and a backsplash, new stainless appliances (refrigerator, microwave, and dishwasher), and gorgeous hardwood custom cabinetry.

A chic bathroom

This apartment has a washer and dryer in the bathroom! In addition, the bathroom was recently renovated with white subway tiles, a Kohler pedestal sink, and glass tub enclosure. There is a massive mirror stretching across one wall that makes the room feel more spacious and is handy for dressing your New York best !

A Secret Garden

Finally, if you head to the back of the apartment, you’ll find a beautifully landscaped garden. There is ample seating to have dinner parties or afternoon tea. Consider it your private haven from the busy city life!

In conclusion, this landmarked West Village apartment is a gem in Manhattan. If you want to tour the space, please email Maura at [email protected] . In addition, if you’d like more information on the price and space, please visit the listing on Corcoran.

Above all, if you are moving to New York then read my guide on how to get an apartment here. You may also enjoy my apartment series on YouTube or my apartment tour article for interior design inspiration . Happy Moving!
