Re-Nest's Small, Cool Outdoors Contest

We've seen it all: small interior spaces, small kids' rooms, even small kitchens. But now we're moving outside to celebrate your beautiful and creative small outdoor spaces! If you've got a balcony, a porch, a terrace, a rooftop garden, or a backyard, and it's under 250 square feet, we want to see it!

I can't wait. I'm always looking for inspiration for my small urban backyard.

I just measured. My balcony is 9 square feet (6' wide, 1.5' deep). It's room enough for a dwarf Alberta spruce, a Rhododendron, and a Madagascar Palm (only during the summer, the thing just doesn't like living in Seattle as much as it loved Phoenix).

Anyway, definitely not winning any awards here, but it's a wonderful way to add green to my studio.
