I’ve been in the antique biz for 35 years, at the height of Rachel Ashwell, Carol Hicks Bolton, Magnolia Pearl, Rebecca Purcell, Mary Randolph Carter, Sibella Court…you get the picture…having recently found you, I’m very impressed with your style…decorating is my jam as well. some years ago I moved to Florida from Iowa, from Victorian country to MCM rattan tiki Hemingway safari style…I am having the most fun being crazy obsessed with it…I was painting furniture way before Rachel put us on the map…I love your passion and your eye, it totally works for me…did I mention I’m 71 and I hope my passion is always there as I know yours will be too…we are obsessed and having crazy fun…gotta run, I have a room to change out…
What you have achieved with your studio is an inspiration to us all, Steffi.
This might seems kind of random but would you consider a closet one of the 3 "big pieces"
I’m going to downsize from a queen size bed to a full. Will give me more space. Anyone bought a Purple mattress? What has been you’re experience with it? Does it run hot? What are best sources for platform beds?
I read your blog about the first three pieces (bed, couch, table-desk) and how they should form a triangle. I had a sofa-bed and a table which were beside each other along the outer wall. I moved the table into the kitchen area and it worked soooo much better as a living space. The table serves as a desk-workspace where I work from home (teach online) and go to school online. Thanks for the tips.
This video is fantastic, love the photos. Shopping ideas/rules. Cannot wait for your course! I was afraid it might be (cause you are obviously super intelligent) too complicated but the breakdown looks perfect. So excited to learn more about me. Thanks
I love your space 😍 I live in a small one bedroom condo and you give me a lot of decorating inspiration. Also, RIP Pier 1.
I love it🙌
Even your cat matches your decor; the apartment is amazing.
Your place is you.My place says 60s person lives here.With france in mind.
You did a beautiful job. Your apartment looks unique, collected, and interesting with lots of texture. So different from everyone else’s vaguely 70s white/pale pink/green/wood/brass/macrame/plants decor.
Its hard since I love a BUNCH of different aesthetics and styles and I can never decide on which vibe I want to go for. I really kitsch weird stuff and like when there are alot of colors and alot of life a interest but I also really want a chill calm vibe

I just purchased my first studio apartment and I’m so excited! 🙂
Loveeee!!! Me and fiancé downsized from our three bedroom two bath w a basement home down to a 500 sq 1 bedroom! This video makes me think we can do a studio apt next year when we move to a bigger city!!!
Love the new video! Hi so Random question, do you think it would still be “worth” it if I’ll be the only person in my studio apartment ever? I won’t have anyone over at all (no friends and no family.)
Thank you for watching! Are you currently decorating your apartment? How’s it going??
Congratulations on getting your online school open!
Would you happen to have a picture of the floorplan so I can compare
Great tips and ideas.
I truly love what you did but, I would have put a separation between the bed and the couch… since you tend to like gray and wood I would have put a wood separation with open shelves that would look nice but, let me tell you you’ve done a great job beautiful!.. one of the best I’ve seen on here
I can’t tell you how EXCITED I am for your styling course! I’ve been STUDYING your videos since I found your channel, and already applied so many tips to my space (I don’t know if it’s a "studio" since there’s a wall separating the kitchen/bathroom from the "living quarters" lol) but anyways, I’ve already seen HUGE changes that I’ve been struggling with since I moved in 2 years ago. I really can’t say thank you enough, I’m probably repeating my comments here and on IG at this point! I really do appreciate all the work you’ve put into Moda Misfit. I’m slowly looking around and finding less anxieties stacked on the shelves and clutter hiding in my closet, and more inspiration unfolding in a new grey duvet cover that just transformed my entire room! Always looking forward to your next video, Steffi! xoxo
Thank you for making this video. I found a studio apartment just like yours and this is my first time living on my own and I wasn’t sure how to go about decorating. This video really helped.
