So I could manage to live alone and not be poor all the time, I moved into a super small studio apartment with absurdly cheap rent. My landlords are more than happy to let me paint and do whatever I want with my space but I'm having a bit of trouble. I (as you can tell, haha.) am not the most creative person so filling space tends to be difficult

What a cute Fridge you have!

Ok that said. I'm kinda stumped because of the cabinet/counter top color (would they let you paint he cabinets? That would make a HUGE difference and modernize it more). My original thought for wall color was a pale yellow, keeping in that earthy feel that goes with your bed, but helping to brighten it up. But, not sure how that would look like the cabinets. Hm.

Perhaps you could pull colors from the rug you have, like a tan, or from the artwork you have hanging.

Good luck!

haha, it IS a very cute fridge...I just wish it was slightly more useful. The freezer section is literally.. big enough for two ice trays and a pint of ice cream. I will admit, part of me losing so much weight is likely because when I do go shopping I don't have a choice about buying frozen food since there isn't anyplace to put it.

The cabinets kinda suck, they're so dark as is my closet. I will say, it looks beautiful when the sun hits down but they are dark.. and if I were to paint 'em, who knows what I could get away with. I DO love the hardwood floors though, it helps brighten up the space a lot.

i once had a tiny apartment similar to that. i loved it! now i'm going out on a limb here, but i am really loving eggplant as a wall colour. i have absolutely nothing that would go with it, but i see your space could totally work with that. maybe go with two facing walls a deep eggplant and the other two a deep taupe or even brown to go with? i dunno... i'm not all that creative either! cool place, btw.

See, I really really like the eggplant color! Mainly because my rug matches up with it and it wouldn't clash with my duvet at all.

I will say, even though this place is tiny.. I adore it. (I also adore my $400 a month rent with all utilities added.. In the most sought out part of Boise-the downtown/north end area.)

My armchair is pretty tacky, but it's the most comfortable chair ever and my x Tracey gave it to me.. I haven't been able to let it go yet! haha.

Thanks for the advice and liking my apartment! It's my very cozy hole, haha. It's also a shrine to my son, he takes over it.

Ohhh I like the eggplant color idea :-) I think that would go well with all the green, even the counter tops. Whatever you decide you must take pictures when it's done!
