I am going to do mini series about Kitchens. I received small home submissions and I selected some that had great storage ideas, style and BEFORE photos.
You won’t believe that this kitchen looks like today and that it belongs to an 1100 square foot home. Great storage ideas too.

If you missed it I have a new Small Space Series Home Tour up from Wednesday. See inside 1152 square feet, you will love her kitchen.
Design Question-
Aggie wrote into me about her son’s bedroom. She is having a hard time knowing where to start on redoing it. She did read my blog post about creating a design board. Another way to create a simple design board is to just use a word document and add the photos you are wanting to use in the space. Or you could simply print out photos and create a design board on paper! I would find an inspiration piece FIRST- maybe it is bedding or maybe it is a photo of another room. That will help determine paint etc.
I would suggest getting curtain panels that touch the floor. Also getting the bed straight on a wall- even straight under the window. She said that he is older (24) and maybe will move out soon. She could consider a daybed for this room too to have as a guest room or when he comes to stay!
You asked for it! More content about Small Spaces. Now, don’t go anywhere if you have a big home. Because I know you will enjoy and leave with some inspiration in this new series- Small Space Living. I interviewed someone living in 180 square feet and asked her all of YOUR questions and made sure she shared photos of the closets and behind the scenes. I asked for a video tour too and she shared one! You will enjoy it. Read the post HERE.
Ask a Designer-
What a nice large open space! I love all the light colors. I think you will like it so much more once you paint it, everything will pop. I love Cloud White from Benjamin Moore (photos HERE of it in homes). Your curtains are hung perfectly! The one thing I can suggest is your rug size- you want the front of your sofa legs to be ON the rug. So in this first spot you could go a size up for sure. It will make the room feel larger. I can’t see the rug to well on the area behind with the sectional, it looks a little small in that space too. Hope that helps!
