Bummer--this should be open to those of us who can't make an event in NYC. I won't be there because I LIVE in Colorado--all the more reason that I lust for this prize. Steamboat Springs is awesome!

Would you be able to give the dimensions of this bathroom? We have a space that looks to be a similar size that we want to convert into a bathroom and I would love to compare.

It looks great--I love the floating vanity!

Apartment Therapy Los Angeles | What's Your Best Design Tip For Small Spaces?

LilyC gives great advice--try to chose furniture that sits up off the floor on legs, so that the floor is invisible under the furniture. Then, invest in a good mop/dusting system, as you will want be fighting the dust bunnies.

Use the space up the the ceiling whenever possible--shelves and storage that have a small footprint but are tall can really help in a small space.

As for organization, really think about how you use your house. Where do you like to read your mail? Flip through magazines? Pay bills? Then place storage and trash bins in the places where you will be handling paper and other cluttering items.

Lastly, enjoy the cozy feeling of a small space. Who wants to spend all their time cleaning a 3000 square foot house?

I have very little wall space in my small kitchen--except for over the the stove. Do the shelves over stoves get too grimy from cooking splatter (see the last photo above)?

I cook a lot, so it is a heavy use stove top.

Thanks.

I think a combination of open and closed storage works well. There is a combo bookcase/open bin shelf available at Michael's craft stores right now (its not online, but has book sleeves on top and open bins on the bottom). Make sure your daughter can reach into all of the bins and the books.

The bins are nice because they are small. One mistake parents make organizing is that they use bins that are too large it becomes difficult to find all the small pieces. Find a unit that has multiple small bins and sort like with like.

Good luck!

Question: we live in a 70's ranch with the low-ish ceilings that have the popcorn treatment. Removing the popcorn is a major hassle and expense (not to mention a hazard due to asbestos), so we are considering covering them with beadboard. Is that a mistake with lower ceilings? I am concerned it may close the room in (we are planning on keeping the beadboard white and having it in every room for continuity).

Thanks.

Well, to make my son happy they would have to be aliens from a galaxy far, far away... maybe a guy named Skywalker?

Anyway, I would play Dark Side of the Moon. Just because

OK. I have one of these rugs in our kid's playroom and it has been great. Playdoh, sequins, glue--you name it and it has held up. The rug is soft and colorful and perfect for the room. Who knew?

With two small kids, everyday brings a new mess. The most recent nightmare: a devious product called "moon sand." It takes weeks to vacuum out of the carpet, even after only one use. I need this vac!
