I'm closely following Apartment Therapy's Smallest Coolest contest (who isn't?) and when I spotted Lydia's space in San Francisco today, I had to show you because this super cool lady lives in a two room studio that has such a great layout (it feels huge) and my favorite part, a lavender ceiling! I don't know Lydia, but with a space like that, I imagine she is a pretty neat lady with a big personality and loads of style. Love it!

This inspired me because I've been in a purple haze the past few days looking at this hue in so many stylized settings from magazines that I needed a reality check: to see it in a REAL home. So here's a glimpse of Lydia's lavender ceilings. While you're at it, view a slideshow of her space or watch a video of it (for more ceiling footage) over on the amazing Apartment Therapy.
