Small Spaces
Canadian House & Home

Back in September we blogged some terrific Small Space Solutions we found in Canadian House & Home. Today we bring you some more... We like this table that folds out, and the stacking chairs. The chandelier and wallpaper make the tiny dining room glamorous.

These glass walls create separation, but don't cut off light.

Maybe if this tented area on a raised platform didn't look so much like a fort for grownups? What do you think?

I think the tent is cute! It creates a space within a space. :)

That tent is very cool. There is something wonderful about hiding out from the world. Check out some of these hideaways:-)

Hmm... I like the idea of a tent, but more for kids to have their own space within a living room, like a kind of an "outpost" from their own room...
Are those autumn leaves on the floor...?

Count me in as another fan of a fort for grownups. Or kids, for that matter. But in that particular setting it seems a bit squeezed - I'm more about opening up small spaces.

It would be really nice to have a little nook off a grand living room, although obviously that wouldn't be a cool small space.

Wow... glass walls and an inside tent. Apparently practicality isnt always an issue when dealing with small spaces.
