Wish I had a reason to move to Brooklyn. Love the space.

What a happy front door. I love the layout of the kitchen and how much light your space has.

Another amazing international entry. The walls in the kitchen are amazing and your little porch with happy flowers is great.

That is such a spacious kitchen for the size of your space. How lucky you are. I'm curious about the kitty litter set-up too. I don't have a cat, but have thought about it and the litter box has been what has kept me from getting one.

I love the bathroom wall and how it adds some whimsy. Did you paint that yourself?

What a spacious 375 sq ft. A really lovely space. Way to go, Joy!

I do find it interesting that you didn't go higher with the kitchen cabinets for even more storage or would that have made it feel to crowded?

Great space. Love, love, love that bathroom floor. In keeping with the style of your space I would go with a claw foot tub.

Also, where did you find the Cali roots print? I was born in Salinas and when I moved to OH a couple years ago I left my heart in CA, so would love to add that to my other CA treasures in my home.

Kyle your place is amazing. I almost started crying there was such an overwhelming sense of warmth and welcome that jumped from the pages. Probably didn't help that you are in a city I love and it makes me miss CA.

Thank you for sharing your lovely space. It is so rare these days for a family to work and love together like is so evident with your family. My family is the same and it just makes my heart glad when I see others that are able to share that same blessing.

Love how you projected the movie on the wall for the photo, so creative. Plus, the roll of wallpaper behind your little table. Another excellent submission for the teeny-tiny category, which is my favorite.

I also like the height of your curtains. Personally, when they are much higher than that with a ton of wall showing I think it looks corny, like someone didn't know how to measure properly.

I keep coming back and looking at your space:)
