WHAT WOULD YOU DO WITH 550 SQUARE FEET?

Today is Nate Day! What does that mean? Well, there is about 100 bloggers blogging and tweeting about the oh so talented Nate Berkus!

Nate Berkus is known to many as the designer “discovered” by Oprah. He has done so many before and afters on the show with nothing less than stellar results. But, one of my all time favorite before and afters was of his own Manhattan apartment. Nate Berkus took an uninspiring 550 sq. ft. apartment and turned it into a swanky New York Bachelors pad!

Take a look at the before and afters

Before: Living Room

After: Living Room

Before: Kitchen

After: Kitchen (and that oh so cutie patoot Nate!)

The Master Bedroom (Do you notice the High Gloss blue doors?)

Office (Yes, he managed to squeeze in a work space!)

More High gloss Blue!

I love how he painted the entire space white (even the floors!). And then took it from there with color. The Blue doors seal the deal for me too! With a space this small, you can’t help but have only the bare necessities and a limited color palette.

Here a link to Oprah’s website to check out a video of him talking about how he transformed the space

What is your favorite space by Nate? How has he inspired you in your own home?

Happy Nate Day!
