What is the advantage of SMALL? My small space means having almost everything I love within view.

What's your favorite resource for your home?

There is a store called Zone right down the street, I don't even need a reason to go in there and browse for new things to decorate my house.

What is your one favorite element in your small, cool home?

Its really so many things put together that makes this an amazing space. The exposed brick wall and the fact that the tiny bedroom is lower then the rest of the apartment makes the whole feel of our house so cozy.

Love the succulents in the shadow boxes. I may have to steal that idea.

I love the shadow boxes too! Fabulous!

Is the water in that fishtank Yellow???

I really don't get a feel for those rooms from the pix - more vignette photography...

I love the living room shot of the chair with exposed brick behind it. Seems like the perfect place to curl up on a rainy day.

the cat steals the show! lol

Most parts are really nice except the bed room, that asian art thing just make the room looks really cheap.

First cat in this contest that refused to pose!

i agree the cat did steel the show!

Your japanese lamp was runner up- liked the wall scroll too :)

love the yellow chair (and the brick wall and painting and cat) but the rest is just eh. why take a picture of a not-so-nice dresser and fish tank?

The brick adds really nice texture to the room.

i LOVE your little plants, so adorable. i have to agree with the person that mentioned the japanese thingy though: the second i saw it i thought of chinatown, but not in a good way.

apartments in montreal always have such nice bones
the kitchen & living room look nice, the others need some style

shouldn't this be in the east contest? doesn't seem to fit with international...

I hope the comment above is a joke.
