집원글님이 안 오시니 뜬금없이 제가 사진을 올리고 있네요...ㅠ.ㅠ

Alaina Kaczmarski has a knack for design. The proof is in the DIY
touches that enhance her Chicago rental unit's original architectural
details. Kaczmarski, a stylist, writer and cofounder of the blog The Everygirl,
used her signature color palette of pinks, blacks and grays to jazz up
elements like floor-to-ceiling built-ins and exposed wooden beams. The
result is a style that's bright, dark, casual and funky all at once.

Houzz at Glance
Who lives here: Alaina Kaczmarski, her roommate and her two Cockapoos, Tucker and Fiona
Location: Buena Park neighborhood of Chicago
Size: About 1,500 square feet 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom



This gallery wall in Kaczmarski's
office is an ever-growing collection of online finds and travel
souvenirs. "There's a painting I purchased in Montmartre, my first real
work of art, and my personal-credo 'Live what you love' letterpress
poster that serves as a daily reminder to do what makes me happy," she
says.

Her beloved dogs, Fiona and Tucker, enjoy lounging on her couch while she works.

Kaczmarski, shown with Fiona, loves the location of her Chicago apartment. "There’s
always something new to do, and each of the areas all offer such
different energy and types of people," she says. "I never get bored or
feel like I’m always going to the same place."

A large corkboard across from her
desk holds invitations and decorating ideas. "My advice to other
homeowners is, don’t stress over 'finishing' your home," Kaczmarski
says. "Slowly acquire pieces you love and enjoy the process of making it
your own."

The blush hue on the walls — Middleton Pink by Farrow & Ball — complements this white built-in hutch, which Kaczmarski uses as a minibar.


The home office
space was originally the dining room, but Kaczmarski had little use for
a big dining area. Now she uses the space — seen here from the kitchen —
for Everygirl team meetings.

Kaczmarski took advantage of the
apartment's built-in fireplace and mantel, personalizing the shelves and
mantel with knickknacks and keepsakes.

She added a small dining
table to the oversize living room to create more space for entertaining
guests. The vintage chairs are Craigslist finds.

In the living room, Kaczmarski
painted the walls gray to keep a neutral palette, layering in a graphic
floor rug and vertical bookshelves to let the spines of her books serve
as graphic accents.

Two of Kaczmarski's favorite designers are Erika McPherson Powell of Urban Grace Interiors and Brad Ford ID.
"Their designs are both rooted in neutral, traditional style, but each
of them adds interesting, fresh elements that take them to the next
level," she says.

Kaczmarski is always on the hunt
for a good steal. She picked up her coffee table at a Jayson Home &
Garden warehouse sale. Her most recent splurge, and her first major
investment piece, is this Carlisle sofa from Pottery Barn.

Kaczmarski created a gallery wall around the television, so the black screen wouldn't be intrusive.

In her bedroom she went with an
unconventional color — pitch black. "I had a black wall in my old office
and absolutely loved it," she says. "I thought it would be unexpected
to bring that color into the bedroom. This could have been very hit or
miss, but it ended up being a very cozy, den-like space."

The bedroom is where she feels
most at home. "It’s so cozy — I never want to leave it! Sometimes I just
work from bed," she says.

On her dresser Kaczmarski uses
vintage teacups to display and organize her jewelry. An antique brass
mirror rests on top, with a snapshot of her and her pups tucked in the
frame.


Kaczmarski's biggest challenge
was to convert the wood-paneled bathroom from its log cabin style. She
transformed the space with a few coats of white paint and by painting
the center beam a striking black.

Keeping everything white on white in the bathroom made the somewhat narrow space brighter.

"My
home is a means to express myself as I grow older — to change and adapt
to new tastes and interests as they unfold," Kaczmarski says.
