What an excellent fix to the closet door issue -- increased functionality on both sides of the wall. Justin's Contemporary Contrast Small Cool Contest |

I feel truly inspired by this tour. First things first, I'm buying that west elm zig zag rug this weekend -- I've been eyeing it for a year. Also, I encourage anyone who likes this tour to click on the link for her prior apartment -- it's also a great-looking space. Danielle's Charming, Classic Walk-Up House Tour |

Charming. Nice use of the low expedit as a divider instead of the tall one. And I like the sheer curtains pulled back around the bed. And using the mirrored bedside table to tie in the mirrored closet doors. Leslie's Enchanting Sunlight Small Cool Contest |

I keep coming back to this entry -- the picture of the living room is so appealing to me. It's sophisticated and calm. I just love it. Megan's Revived & Renewed Small Cool Contest |

That's a truly odd use of space. To me, it seems like it squanders a nice-size apartment and makes it live much smaller, albeit with an outsized closet. But I love a tiny sleeping nook, and hey, if you're used to small apartments anyway, why not revel in having a dressing room if that floats your boat.

This is obviously a gorgeous old building (that molding! those floors! those windows!), and it looks like a calm, pleasant place. But in terms of this contest, there's not a single thing shown in any of the pictures that is a particularly cool use of small space. I think painting the ceiling in the bedroom is a great idea to accentuate the molding. Jenny & Sarah's Gracefully Aged Apartment Small Cool Contest |

What a charmer. Is there a story behind this house's existence? Are there others like it in the area, or was it originally a vacation cottage or something? Haleigh's A-Frame Cottage Small Cool Contest |

That fireplace screen is the best. Lyonstill, I just spent a few minutes on their blog trying to track it down. Came with the house. Large Scale Art on the Cheap: Black & White Engineer, Draft or Blueprint Copies A Beautiful Mess |

Here's another one that is so good. I'm obsessed with it. It makes me want a white slipcovered sofa. 9 Outdoor Rugs You'll Want to Use Inside |

Having a gym, a library card, a hair salon, and a couple of go-to brunch places and after-work take-out places makes me feel like I'm settled in a new place. And knowing where on the el platform to stand so that I'll be at the desired spot at the other end. And for some reason I get asked for directions a lot (like hardly a day goes by), so being able to answer them makes me feel like it's my hometown. What Makes You Feel at Home in a New City? |

Thought for sure this was going to be the hint I've seen a lot on Pinterest -- instead of wrapping each plate individually in paper, use styrofoam plates between your plates. Haven't done it yet, but it sounds like it might be good. Quick Tip: The Safest Way to Pack Plates |
