 What is your favorite element of your Small & Cool home?Although I’m crazy about the exposed brick, I’d have to say my favorite single element is the larger-than-life broccoli my artist mom painted for me as a gift when I moved into this new dream apartment. It’s both quirky and gorgeous, and has that personal touch that reminds me of her every time I look at it. It’s also my first piece of larger artwork and helps to keep all the white space of the loft from feeling bare.
