You made this tiny space work for you and it's lovely. Kudos! I gave you insta, because I can see all the hard work that went into this.

I think this contest has very vague guide lines of who is allowed to compete, which makes the range of contestants quite broad. There should perhaps be an "amateur" and "pro" categories? Cause, clearly, this entry blows the rest out of the water. And I don't think it's very fair to those who put a lot of work into their spaces but aren't pro interior designers. ::shrug::

I wonder why it seems to some people that my measurements are incorrect. Granted, I used a wider lense in the panoramic picture so it might be perceived as large, but it's really not. The square footage is correct.

Cassis, I love your idea, thank you! Unfortunately, it is a rental and I am sure my landlord would not approve.

In my mind, this contest is about the clever use of your small space as well as good looking interior design. I applaud you for making it work for you so well. But I think you'd agree that there isn't much to be said about design here. Still, props to you! :)

Wende - indeed, the view from the kitchen and bath is very dire... And dark. That's why the dinign table is by the bay window :)

Mlle Kate and pignolia - as far as closing the french doors to the kitchen - yeah, it's a pity, but we wanted a living room, as well as a nice bedroom and if you put the bed anywhere else... well.. it would take up everything. So we scooted it next to the french doors.

Cassis - the linens are from Pottery Barn as is the bed itself and the loveseat. I like their clean lines. The chairs, table, rug, scrap-booking cart are from IKEA.

15troy - I do have a blog, but it's pretty new :) http://red-moose-blog.blogspot.com/

Thanks very much for the feedback!
Lady J - we decided to put the dining table in the main room by the window because it felt more cozy. Putting a computer desk there would've been a waste of a great view onto the street.

lloyd - The "double" pics are basically the same pic. I just couldn't figure out how to show the use of the space otherwise. ;)
I felt like showing the screen and the scrapbook table was more important than views of our "normal" kitchen and bathroom. After all, this is a contest for the best use of small spaces! But I agree that 3 pics is not enough. :)
