We found Anne's fantastic apartment thanks to photographer Hotze Eisma who posted a few photos of this inspiring home. For Anne, the solution to small space family living is simple: "Keep it light, keep it bright--keep it practical." So true! Her home is a great example of maximizing space and minimizing "stuff," with sacrificing any personality or charm. Take a look at some of the photos of this cheerful space below the jump!

I like this apartment somewhat- but think its a little spare. The colors are bright and the furniture lovely ( especially that couch I adore it and wonder where it is from) but this still looks like pied a terre and not a place where people live full time.

I love it!!! Especially, the plain sofa with colorful accent pillows.

Wow, this looks more like a set from a movie than a family home...very attractive, very stylized. The bright red whiteboard circle is an awesome and practical touch. What little kid doesn't like drawing all over the walls?

I love the dining room chairs - where are they from?
The apartment is beautiful, but I agree with Trumystique that seems spare. I would love to see some art on the walls.

I love this look and would love to live like this...so fresh and free.
It feels somewhat like you are not all the way moved in...which I also like, but seems a bit inpractical to me. Do these people not inherit "stuff"? Where does the Christmas tree go? How do you not get dusty when you lounge on the wood floor? What about laundry in waiting? It seems I need an entire "wing" for that, and I do it 24 hours a day. Please share your secrets for minimilist living!!!

Strikes me as very weird. Chacun a son gout! I guess I can see where others would like it.

Note: you can see a ton of storage in the pix. For example, the wall behind the couch looks like it's all storage. And that white sideboard thing is all storage. That's where you put all the stuff. I love the spareness. People have real differences in how they feel about minimalism.

Oh, what a cheap looking apartment! I don't see why people like this cold place. It looks colder than a hotel room. I especially hated the kitchen. ugh!

Soooo serene!! I'm glad to see that they have allowed their little girl to have a space of their own. So many parents concerned with aesthetic seems to impose their taste on their children, placing the child in a room that reflects their own aesthetic (i.e., some poor kid living in a room that looks like a sanitarium).

Love all but the papered wall in the child's room.
Great use of spare elements (leaving amply room for child's play in a small space ;)) with pops of color and pattern.
Want the chairs...

It has that cool Sweedish/IKEA look. I always strive for it, but can never accomplish it because I have too much nostalgic stuff.

`I love the dining room chairs - where are they from? `
The chairs are called Revolt and designed by Friso Kramer, in 1953. http://www.bonluxat.com/a/Friso_Kramer_Revolt_Chair.html
