We are a dumpster divers living in a studio apartment, so it was inevitable - we've outgrown our space. Unfortunately, it will be several months before our iron-clad lease is up. We can't bear to part with furniture, so we're moving it around and attempting to lighten up the space.

I keep waiting for your apartment to be in House Beautiful! Thanks for sharing your space :) You should post that cute door project that you did!

@EclecVintage, THANK YOU!
@Michelle B - Between your comment here and the one on the Hometalk Facebook page, we get it! You don't like our space! Or our "crap" as you called it on Facebook! While it's relaxing and serene for us, we understand that our style isn't for everyone, and we love it that everyone has a unique personal style! We hope yours makes you very happy! But please stay far, far away! We don't need any strangling going on in our home. Our apartment is full of many things, most of all love!
@Gail B, we can't wait to see your photos!
@Patricia S, excellent advice! Thank you!
@Claudia A, we couldn't agree more!
I was just thinking about a recent article I wrote about a couple who down sized to less than 200 sq feet.
