I think that this little A-Fram from Insieme House was one of the first "Small Spaces" I found on Instagram. I was was happy to have found someone sharing ideas for Small Space Living and with MAJOR style. I love how Astrid maximizes their outdoor space during all the seasons, key to making Small Spaces and entertaining mix! I also love her answers to the rapid fire questions at the end, talking about how living in a smaller space forces you to be pretty tidy all the time. I have to say I have noticed that too- everything has a place and the family all knows where that place is. I hope ... Read More

Small Space Living Mini Series- Kitchen Edition
As part of our Small Space Living Series I want to do a smaller series on just kitchens! Really this is my favorite room to see in homes. Kitchens are the heart of the home and really still can be in smaller homes. We are peeking into Nicole Dingle's kitchen! They are living in a 1100 square foot home and guaranteed you would not guess it by looking at this kitchen! They were very smart when they remodeled to open it up and make the most use of the space and to allow more storage. Love how open it feels and the painted white brick that was original to the home! So ... Read More
Small Space Living Series- 1152 Square Feet with Sixty Fifth Avenue
Today we are peeking into the home of Londen who shares her home over on Sixth Fifth Avenue on Instagram. They are a family of three living in an 1152 square foot 1940's home in Chicago. They have two bedrooms and 1 1/2 bathrooms. I really enjoyed seeing how Londen maximized all their small spaces and so beautifully and simply. That is what really caught my eye, she has nice pieces that make a statement. In small homes a lot of little things can feel overwhelming, I am constantly working on that in our small spaces. Notice how she uses real plants as the decor, my favorite way ... Read More
Small Space Living Series- New York City Apartment with Crystal Ann Interiors
I am truly enjoying this Small Space Series. Today's feature is no exception, it is so good. Crystal from Crystal Ann Interiors is living in a 700 square foot apartment in New York City with her family of four! After watching the video (at the end of the post) it makes me all the more inspired to simplify our closets and life! Crystal was so smart when designing this small space. They don't have any dressers- they just make very good use of the closets. She also keeps everything very organized. Literally everything has a home, a designated spot that it lives. This is a life-hack that ... Read More
Small Space Living Series- 1143 square feet with The Ranch Uncommon
Back with the Small Space Living Series today! This 1143 square foot home is so well thought out and executed. You are going to get a lot of storage solutions ideas from The Ranch House Uncommon. The first time I was exposed to The Ranch House Uncommon was from Country Living Magazine. After I read the article I found Jennifer over on Instagram and fell hard for her ideas! I for one noticed that everything is very functional and serves a purpose. This home is not the owners servant, rather it serves the home owners. Really love all the design inspiration. Notice the light above the sink is ... Read More
Small Space Living Series- 180 square feet with Arrows and Bows
First of all, I am so thrilled about this Small Space Living Series. It was inspired by all of YOU and all of the questions you ask me on a daily basis. I asked over on Social Media what you wanted to know and I was flooded with so many good questions. I interviewed about 5 Bloggers (so far) who all live in "small homes". Which by the way is up for debate on what is considered a small home. When I researched "what is a small home?" The answer- 2500 square feet or smaller.It said the average American home is 2500 square feet and less than that is "small". I personally consider under 1500 a ... Read More

Create a Comfy Sleepover Space and Top Chick Flicks
When we lived in Connecticut we had visitors a couple times a month and often there would be way more people than our pull-out sofa could hold. We didn't have a guest room, but made it work with a few blow up mattresses. I recently found affordable cot's that allow you to create a guest room anywhere and a really fun sleepover space! My girls have hosted a couple sleepovers since living in our Utah home, one of the guest rooms has 3 twin beds, but there never seems to be enough beds to fit all their friends. I'll share what I found to make it work! Thank you The Company Store for sponsoring ... Read More
Living Room Affordable Refresh and Floor Lamps
You know that saying , "If you give a mouse a cookie". That is exactly how this project got started! My sister was hosting a party at her home and asked for some help refreshing her front room. Having people over is great motivation to do projects that we put off for too long! (about 10 years in this case!) I remember when my friend hosted a bridal shower for a mutual friend and we jokingly called it that $10,000 shower! I was happy to help my sister, after shopping for new accessories I knew that we needed to take it a step further, by 9pm that night, her husband was putting up a board and ... Read More
Apartment Living- Five Ways to add Personality to your Apartment or Any Rental
We are living in an apartment and loving it. I think I am just really loving living back in Utah and being near my family and friends. Our apartment is great too, pleasantly surprised because we didn't seen it in person before we got the lease. The kids really like that there is a heated pool and a playground. As you can imagine, I can't help myself, I have to decorate it. Some might think it is a waste to put effort into a space that we will be in for such a short period (thinking around 4 months). But I say, why not? You really can do simple things, for not a lot of money, to make your ... Read More
