In the mean time, Kurt and I have been packing and prepping. Kurt's undoubtably put in over 10 hours of flat hunting. It's becoming very apparent how small our flat will be. If not a studio, it'll be a small one bedroom flat. I've been thinking about how I can make such a small space feel like home and I've found a lot of inspiration the last few days.
My mother-in-law has a House Beautiful subscription and this month's cover caught my eye immediately. Inside I found two articles on decorating a 295 square foot room and a 650 square foot studio. Every piece of furniture and color matters in a small space and I love how everything meshes so well in the rooms the designers put together.
I found the most inspiration from Apartment Therapy though.
{565 square feet}
{240 square feet}
{210 square feet}
{594 square feet}
What's the smallest space you've ever lived in? What did you do to make it feel homey?

I think that is one of my most favorite things to read about...how to live in such a small space. I don't know as I'd be good at it, I mean like 240 sq. ft isn't a lot! But I'm amazed at what all those people did. Looks like you have a lot of good inspiration! :) Praying you get an answer tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteMy sweet friend, Emily, lives in Scotland with her husband and two kids {soon to be 3}. She's written a lot about living in small places. She's a Texas girl, so everything is always bigger here. ;) http://www.theadventuresofmissmommy.com/
ReplyDeleteChet, yes! I think I've seen that blog before...too bad we won't be living in a cabin that you can pull around. That would be awesome.
ReplyDeleteOh, and Jodi, I can only imagine how tough it would be to live in a small space with kids, especially if you're a stay at home mom. I think I'd loose my marbles. But I think Kurt & I will be able to pull it off. ;)
Sarah, how awesome! I'm looking at her blog now. My husband likes the fact that her husband is a theologian, haha. We're moving to England so he can study theology.
