What I Love About My Small Home:

I love my home! I love the small utility bills, the short cleaning time, and I especially love living in my small home has taught me to keep what is necessary and what I love. I have learned that "stuff" is not that important in being happy.

What I Love About My Small Home:

What I love best about my apartment is the exposed brick. It evokes a warm and comfortable mood, so that I feel as though I am living in a cozy bungalow in the country and not a major city! I also love the clearly defined spaces. The kitchen is separated from the main living area by a door, and I have a private office space in the tiny alcove next to my bedroom area.

What I Love About My Small Home:

I am consistently enchanted about the amount of natural sunlight I get in my space. And even though it is a relatively tiny space, it is perfectly sized for me. I love the older architecture of the building, especially the wainscoting detail and also the archways in the entrance and between my living room to work space area.

What I Love About My Small Home:

Everything has its place. It's like living on a boat or a submarine. It forces us to be very particular about our belongings. If we want to bring home something new, we have to really love it because it means we have to get rid of something old to make room! With time, you end up with a very well-curated space containing only things you love.

What I Love About My Small Home:

We love that we're right by Fisherman's Wharf! Our apartment has everything we need, and the lack of space actually helps us keep tidy and not obsess over material things (that we know we wouldn't be able to store). The apartment itself has a great fireplace and an open layout that's perfect for cooking and hanging out with the hubby, all while watching our favorite shows. And we have two skylights! One over the kitchen and one in the bathroom.

What I Love About My Small Home:

The location and character of my small home is what first made it so appealing to me. Located in the warehouse district of Minneapolis, my apartment used to be the home of the International Harvester Company. Brick walls, high ceilings, and large windows facing the other warehouses and downtown make the view something that feels really special. I love coming home and bringing friends to my small home. Although it is small, the entertaining space and large window make it a great place to have friends and family.

What I Love About My Small Home:

Its wonderful location and eccentric character. We moved from LA to the Malasaña neighborhood of Madrid a year ago, and this was the second apartment we saw. The minute we ducked through the narrow Frank Lloyd Wright-style entryway, and were greeted by the high slanted ceilings and dark wooden beams of an oddly converted L-shaped attic, we knew we were home. It’s a hundred-year-old building without a single right angle, with a series of floating platforms dividing the space, a little wood-burning stove for heat, and the bath tucked directly alongside the bed. We’d never seen anything like it.

What I Love About My Small Home:

I like to think our home has the most stuff in the smallest package. 18' ceilings, wood burning fireplace, loft space, Juliette balcony, and original mahogany millwork are what make it so special. As a designer these are the charms that are hard to recreate so it was a pleasure to make them shine.
