- What I Love About My Small Home:
- The period features - high decorative ceilings, original fireplaces, picture rails, and the spacious layout! We also have a common garden out in the back for entertaining and nurturing our green thumb.
- Biggest Challenge of Living in a Small Space
- Being mindful to only accumulate things that we love and keeping the clutter down.
One challenge that we had was we needed extra storage space, as closets are never enough. We bought bed risers to have enough bed height and stowed some underbed bins as storage.

Love the windows, floors and fireplaces - lucky!!
I think I'd paint the bedroom wardrobes the same colour as the wall so that they blended in. Gorgeous bedroom, though - reminds me of a fishbowl (in a good way).
I'm a bit confused about the living room, but maybe I'm missing something about the layout; what are you facing when you sit on the sofa? There doesn't seem to be a focal point.
I like this space, but I want to see the kitchen, too.
I really like the closets in the bedroom, but all that harsh overhead lighting is kind of ruining the mood.
@Organicsleep - thanks!
@Charlie26 - Thanks! The picture with the door just gives an idea on what I have facing the sofa. You can refer to the small Parker chair near the fireplace to tie up the image with the sofa.
@Rlmebane - The kitchen is being renovated at the moment so I am unable to share pics. Maybe it will be a before and after feature. :-)
@Omorialia - Thanks! I know - we really need to get around to changing the bulbs.
I liked the bedroom as it is. Feels cozy to me. Really like that yellow chair.
I'm enjoying those closets because they almost resemble windows. How cool would it be to make them period-accurate to compliment the fireplace? Then it would be like living in some french mansion.... but they are great. Nice job!
very cute and nicely decorated! i liked the way you maximized your space and still kept the place very neat :)) excellent job!!! hope you win!!!
wow!!!!! very very nice!!!
@omoriala - In Australia, basically every room in every home has bright overhead lighting.
I would vote for you three times if I could!
I love that the cat has a bed on the bed!
