What I Love About My Small Home:

I love that my studio has three closets! It's nice to finally have some space for my rather large collection of clothes, shoes, and handbags. It also has two large windows that bring in a lot of light, and has a pretty adorable breakfast nook. Other than the structural elements, I really enjoy the studio's bright and cheery feeling. Can you tell I am a fan of color? Also, who doesn't appreciate their own DIYs? The chevron fad might on its way out, but I love my DIY chevron rug.

I'll bet you wish you could afford a sleek and stylish brass chandelier like this one. Well, guess what, lucky ducks?  Those crazy geniuses over at One Kings Lane DIYed this beauty, and they'll show you how to do the same.

Living in a small space often means giving up a dining table in favor of extra floor space for other furniture. Thanks to a crop of height adjustable coffee and side tables, you're no longer forced to eat with your plate balanced precariously on your lap.

What I Love About My Small Home:

I love the way the Northern California sunlight transforms each room from morning to afternoon as it shines through large glass windows of our 1949 mid-century modern house. I also love the way a Japanese Maple is framed by the large front window, and how the large Redwood panel wall and other natural wood welcomes our Danish Modern aesthetic.

With most of these household items already in your kitchen, you'll be ready to get any grimy piece sparkling in no time.

Location: San Francisco, California
Type of building: 1890's Victorian condo

After a lot of hard work (and a few unexpected surprises), Andi's kitchen renovation is finally complete, and the results are truly stunning. We've been there every step of the way, watching the cramped, outdated old kitchen being transformed into a beautiful, light-filled oasis. In this final installment of their Renovation Diary, Andi (and bf Dean) share what they've learned along the way.

Adios, coats, mittens, hats and scarves. I'm emptying the entryway coat closet of all of its winter contents. Despite its name, though, my small house can't afford to let this prime storage space go to waste. Here are some ideas for what to do with your coat closet during the warm weather months: More

One of the best parts of the house tours here on Apartment Therapy is finding inspiration for our own homes. That inspiration often leads to searching around for the individual pieces to replicate the look, which can feel like an interiors scavenger hunt. We've rounded up some of the key pieces in Hannah & Brandon's "Ever Evolving" Classically Modern Reno living room to help all you design hunters get the look at home.

What I Love About My Small Home:

The first time I saw this apartment I fell in love with the huge sash windows and their original wooden frame. The living room is south facing, and I love the bright and cozy feeling of the space.

When Ana found the listing for this 3-bedroom duplex in the New York Times, her immediate response was "it's way too good to be true." The building had been in litigation for three years and most people had been scared off.
