A.T. Tour - Hollywood Glam on a Budget

I have been finding quite a few wonderful house tours on Apartment Therapy's website lately.  I especially love that they include renters in their tour selections.  Today they posted about a wonderfully tiny apartment decked out in Hollywood Glam, and on a budget no less.

Her use of light colors, bold metallics & dark accents are right on with what I consider "glam" to be.  You will see a mirrored desk, gold fixtures, lush rugs, expensive looking furniture and flowing draperies.

 The all-white and grey living room, with a weathered table & focusing on the beautiful fireplace is very "Old Hollywood" to me.  You can just imagine an old starlet relaxing with her favorite drink in front of a raging fire.  Modern touches with the drapery panels and modern lighting, even the paint colors, keep the room current.

 I love her use of space in the kitchen.  It's amazing how much extra storage you can get by using dead space on a wall.  Look at all the bake-ware that she was able to fit on this pan rack!  I also adore the butcher block side table, and I am currently looking for something similar, but smaller for next to our stove.  It's a great place to store the oils and spices you use most, set your stirring utensils & is able to give you more storage space to boot!

I think she did a beautiful job putting this apartment together.
