We are thrilled to finally show you images of Lauren’s first apartment. The two of us had a blast decorating it together, and are so happy to have gotten the opportunity to be featured in Traditional Home. For all you apartment dwellers out there, we hope this story inspires you to make the most of your small space! A big thank you to Candace Manroe for making this article happen. – S & L
Unique, classy, fun apartment. You both did a terrific job creating a lovely first home for yourself (& daughter). I adopt the approach to purchase good pieces and not chasing trends. Less waste and a stellar philosophy. Congrat’s on having your apartment published. You must both be so proud and thrilled?!!
January 13, 2010 8:18 pmLadies,
I love this! There are some pieces in there that follow your philosphy, good bones great pieces. I have been going back and forth on ticking for a pair of club chairs I have and I think that loveseat made the decision for me. Great 1st apartment for Lauren.
YAY! LOVE IT! All of you –Suzanne, Lauren, and the apartment–look GORGEOUS! It’s a great piece, and very inspiring. I want every piece of furniture and accessory shown.
January 13, 2010 10:35 pmWoo hoo! I can’t wait to get my next issue! A hearty congratulations from one of your loyal readers!
January 14, 2010 6:49 amFantastic! You may not mean to inspire envy, but it is certainly welling up in me. I am crazy about that love seat. Great job ladies!
January 14, 2010 9:40 amLove this- I am this person- post college, small apt, even smaller budget! 
Great article ladies. My New York City apartment needs an overhaul and this was inspiring.
January 14, 2010 10:53 amLovely! Can you kindly provide a source for the round mirror on the first page?

January 17 2010 16:36 pmFirst, congratulations. Second, regarding upholstery. Is there a rule of thumb re: how much to spend?
I always see these “I found it on the curb on trash day” stories – but doesn’t re upholstery often make it more expensive than new?
You guys do good better best – I’d love to see that applied to re purposing old and loved pieces. With $ amounts please.
congratulations! got it in the mail today. can’t wait to open it up! such a great piece!

February 4, 2010 10:48 amCongrats on the wonderful article. Cute apt. As an antique gallery we loved the quote by Lauren “We are not interested in chasing the latest trend. We are all about investing wisely in classic pieces that I can potentially, own forever.” Wise beyond her years!

Love your place! So inspiring! Where did you get the tiered white basket thing that is on the dresser? I would love to know.
Thanks!

March 10 2010 19:03 pmSheer Perfection. Makes total sense. What can I do for my 3 year olds room???
March 16, 2010 10:58 amWhere is the blue and white leaf pillow on your sofa from? I feel like I’ve seen it before — it’s stunning! Thanks. Great piece. Would like to see a floor plan as well.
March 21, 2010 10:03 amAnkasa. It's grey and white. No floor plan. Space is like a dollhouse.

Can you PLEASE tell me where you got those curtains…I’ve been on the hunt for some similar for ages.
Thanks so much!
