Brother-in-law gave this a try with his two kitties in his small apartment in Brooklyn. They made it up to the final step and then the cats went on strike and just held it...FOR DAYS. It broke his ...

Amen, Lizzy - that painted wood table haunts me still...

Debbie Travis IS back - on Fine Living with her own competition show called From the Ground Up. Comes on right after Design Star on Sunday nights. If you get the channel its worth tuning in. Last e...

I had the Room & Board Archer sofa and it was incredibly comfy and worked beautifully in my small space

If anyone is interested in a refreshing change of design challenges, the Debbie Travis show on Fine Living is actually turning out to be very fun to watch. Last Sunday she didn't pick a winner b/c ...

Kayla here - thanks so much for contributing your own moving tips! These are great (especially splim's comment about the TP in the "immediate" box). I opt for using Tshirts, old towel...

I second the vote for black. Its a small enough space to not feel like a black hole and it should add a nice little punch.

I'm with rhiana on this one - I had a total wtf moment when I first saw this one but now, I'm really impressed. This embodies the sentiment of "If you're gonna go, go all out." Good job.

My apologies - we had images posted on our blog for friends and family previous to this contest. We have since removed them.

Kayla here... The shelves are from IKEA and were another item worth every penny. They have lots of shelving systems and this is the least expensive - its more industrial in feel but I ...

I agree KTG - it is interesting what one choses to not show in these first 5 images. Although, to my credit, you CAN see the wall to wall, floor to ceiling shelves in the long hallway picture - its...

A quick p.s. Those curtains are worth every, single penny (for those who went and saw how much they cost). They are incredibly made and the fabric is wonderful to touch with the combin...

Hi All - Thanks again. I'll try to hit all the questions: Yes, the Air Chairs are very comfy dining chairs (and work chairs - I grade projects at the table and find it qui...

Kayla here - Thanks! Indeed, the curtains and the duvet are both from Anthropologie. The duvet is Dwell but this version for Anthropologie has brighter colored birds than the original....
