Wikipedia defines pied-à-terre (French for “foot on the ground”) as “a small living unit usually located in a large city some distance away from an individual’s primary residence. It may be an apartment or condominium.” The Echo Park bungalow we just styled is a very small space — a mere 500 square feet, with 150 square feet of deck space. But we were able to pack a lot of style into each of those precious square feet by using right-sized furniture with modular options.

Steps from L.A.’s popular Taco Zone truck and Mohawk Bend, this Echo Park home offers a walking-friendly location and vintage original charm — in a cuter-than-cute package.

In styling this Craftsman cottage we used warm orange as a tonally repeated color accented with bright pops of white, teal, blue, red and yellow. The clean white walls lit by skylights offered a multitude of options for bold and earth tones alike.
