Happy Tuesday, m’dears. I have a really cute apartment tour to share with you all today! It’s the home of Jenna Fields from the blog Circus of Cakes. It’s full of color, retro details, and sweets (both real and decorative). Jenna had been on the hunt for a 1920's apartment with hardwood floors, a tiled kitchen, and plenty of white space, when a friend of hers signed a lease for another unit in the building. That’s how she stumbled on to this gem! Having spent the last couple months looking and looking for a new place to rent, I have to say she got pretty lucky! If we’d found a place like this, I would have wanted it for sure. Unfortunately, we just gave up and renewed the lease on our current place…we couldn’t find anything better in our price range. Oh well, at least we don’t have to deal with moving! But back to Jenna’s place…I think you’re going to love it. From Jenna: I live in a restored 1920's apartment in the heart of Los Feliz with my boyfriend, Chris and tuxedo cat Ringo. Each room is a little different in terms of the style, but the retro vibe ties it all together. I would say the decor is a mix of my love of the 1960's, Palm Springs, sweets (of any kind) and a little rock and roll (I happen to be pretty into Elvis these days).
I love this doormat! Snatch one up for yourself here...or if you’re a DIY kind of girl, I did a tutorial for painting doormats last week. Perfect timing...
Ooh, and I love those yellow chairs. They’re so cute against the black and white kitchen floor! They’re replicas of Tolix chairs, from Overstock.
Jenna’s whole kitchen is so cheery. I totally want that turquoise bar cart (it’s from Ikea). The silverware clock and the donut teakettle are so darling, too.
Then there’s her adorable living room. The pineapple lamp! The polka dot pillows! So good.
The gold dots on the wall are from Urban Walls, and the donut pillow is from Dylan’s Candy Bar. I love it!!
Huge thanks to Jenna for sending over these photos! If you have an apartment or house that you’d like me to feature, check out my submissions page here. I’d love to hear from you.
See more of Jenna’s apartment on her darling blog. You can find her on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram too.

What fun! Many memories of growing up in the 70's! That Rascog cart from ikea is my favorite cart in my craft room!
Nice! I've seen it used so many different ways. A very versatile cart, indeed.
