Like every other twenty-something, Girls is one of my favorite new tv shows, it's really honest, funny, and totally speaks to my recession oppressed generation. Plus, I like to day dream about living in Brooklyn.
In episode 5 we got to see Charlie's Studio, and it was AMAZING. They've turned his tiny apartment into one amazing little space - that feels huge!
The space is designed by Laura Ballinger Gardner - who is the set designer for the show.
The concept sketches by Anne Allen Goelz (who is my new rendering hero) sell in space - and show how much you really can do in an itty-bitty space. Though super high ceilings and exposed brick dont hurt either.
In a recent L.A. Times article they go through the details of the set, which has garnered a lot of praise. The article says that "it's Gardner's Mondrian-inspired birch plywood furniture that prompted fans to pause the DVR for a closer look. Her team built Charlie's wall storage unit, had it pigmented to achieve Mondrian-esque color blocks, and filled it with guitars and what seems like an impressive vinyl collection..."
One of the coolest details is the mattress spring hanging from the ceiling and being used at a pot rack in the kitchen.
