What I Love About My Small Home:

My apartment was built in the 1970s in Melbourne and has that retro 70s vibe going on (ya either love it or you don't!). One of the benefits of these older style apartments is that they are solid brick with very high ceilings, unlike many apartments built today. I love the light from the giant floor to ceiling windows and the crisp white walls, which can be used as a canvas for pretty much everything.

What I Love About My Small Home:

To me less can be more. I live in central Copenhagen close to bars, restaurants, the Meat Packing District, public transport, shopping, the harbour baths and all the other things Copenhagen has to offer. My home is my retreat from the city life - small but mine. I see the small home as a great opportunity to declutter your life and your mind, without missing anything.

You don't have to go all Julia Child and hang everything you own in your kitchen. But a simple pegboard — even just a small one that takes up the unused side wall of a cabinet — can go a long way towards organizing all those pots and pans, especially if your ceiling isn't suitable for an overhead pot rack.

Working out at home, especially in a small space, can be a huge hassle and feel potentially less effective, making hitting the gym seem like a necessity.  This latest news has me thinking that maybe a quick, effective and compact at-home exercise routine not only exists, but is worth a try. Check out the full regimen below...

The only time I've ever slept in a bunk bed was at summer camp, and I loved it. While most of us aren't sleeping away in cabins, everyone can use space-saving furniture. For kids, lofted and bunk beds are a great option.

There's always money in the banana stand. Netflix has been promoting the return of 'Arrested Development' by setting up the Bluth frozen banana business around town, and today it will be in Times Square from 11 am to 5 pm. The line may be long, but the bananas are free. New episodes of 'Arrested Development' premiere May 26 on Netflix.

Considering how penetrating each and every one of Apple's devices has been in the personal tech market, it's no wonder iTunes continues to make loads of money. It wouldn't happen without the individual contribution of each of iTunes' millions of users. But just how much app, song and movie money does each person contribute to Apple's world domination each year?

One of my favorite things about the warmer weather in Southern California is being able to enjoy movies outdoors. Fortunately in LA, there are a lot of outdoor screenings in public parks, museums, and unusual settings like Hollywood Forever Cemetery. But if you're more about entertaining at home, and have the space, there are a plentitude of options for creating an outdoor movie screening setup...

What I Love About My Small Home:

I love that this is the first apartment that I don’t have to share and is truly my own. For that reason, I was thrilled to have a blank canvas and loved having the chance to make my studio a reflection of my style and personality for the first time. When I first moved in, I had to pare down my possessions to only the essentials since at 287 square feet, there just wasn't room for anything else. Every item in my apartment is something that I chose carefully or that has personal meaning. Downsizing to such a tiny space has taught me to minimize waste and forced me to be more mindful in general about all of my purchases. When decorating, I tried to incorporate accents and pieces that create a relaxing, cozy and curated space, without over-decorating or creating an overwhelming space. I love that when I come home at the end of the day, my apartment is a place where I can unwind, relax and be surrounded by things that make me happy.
