No Place Like Home
Purposeful and meaningful pieces united disparate styles that give a small apartment a big dose of charm.

A Belgian grain sack with its seams removed runs along the farmhouse table. A giant clock constructed from a bistro tabletop rounds out the gallery wall. The shelving turned sideboard offers a display area for showcasing an ever-changing array of items. A section of brick framed by a walnut-drying rack, and a white couch that seems to recede into the light are among the skillful ways Melisa suggests space. A marigold throw adds a bold stroke of pigment against the brick wall. A weathered crate shows off delicate hydrangeas and chamomile blossoms. In lieu of nightstands, Melissa uses a pair of logs that have rayed with time. Metal letters spell the family’s name. Though small, the bathroom is replete with modern updates. A salvaged grain bin makes a handy couch-side storage while providing a staging spot for a variety of seasonal items. When Melisa spied the shelving unit at a junkyard, she knew she’d found the piece she needed the size and color were perfect for her living room. Favorite books and objects are gathered into a vintage wooden tray on a farmhouse table trimmed to coffee-table height. Melisa had an old commercial baker’s rack reconstructed to half its size by her welder; she added barnwood shelves and kept the casters. The James’ busy little kitchen appears more airy than cramped thanks to sleek fixtures, bright blue walls and a 12-foot window. The apartment’s tall ceilings can accommodate the tufted shelter bed with footboard. The neutral palette of linens is kept lively with the variety of textures.

A collection of shimmering crystals lines a console that is part mantel, part table. In the kitchen, electric-blue ottoman- style stools welcome guests to lounge at the counter.
