Good for you for making it work. It shows how awesome New York is that people will accommodate to any size home to be there. (It also shows that landlords will charge high rents for places they probably wouldn't want to live in themselves.) I love the wall behind your table with the bird cages. You seem to get good light. I once lived with a bunch of people in an apt with no sink in the bathroom. Friends got used to us brushing our teeth at the kitchen sink. (Hey, it was the '70s, ha ha.) Your place has a lot of personality!

A lot of people with bigger homes would envy you that bathroom; I know I do. Great place. The kitchen also looks just right for your space. Well done!

Awesome! How rich looking. It must be a joy to come home to every day. I would gravitate to that beautiful kitchen counter.

I have this identical sink in my kitchen. I can't take credit for it. My sellers had completely done over the kitchen and had gone high end to compensate for the tiny space. The kitchen was the main selling point, and the sink is what everyone comments on. It is a dream come true. Until I read this article, I didn't realize how well made it was. Built to last, much more than just a pretty face!

Great job!

A work of art. People who live in tiny homes are my inspiration and role models.

Great post. This is very helpful. And what a refreshing change to have photos shot from the same angles and pretty much the same light!

Che Guevara in the kitchen? Love it! Lots of charm and personality here as well as function.

I LOVE Blue Boy!!!! I have his image in my house too, but not in that genius way you have them all together! OMG how awesome! Nothing can top that! Am I gushing? Yes. Blue Boy does that to me.

As a veteran teacher I completely agree with eaevansmd. That advice is spot on. It made the papers in my state a while back when the fire department toured an elementary school at the end of summer. The teacher had come in, on their own time and own dime, and spent many hours decorating their classrooms to make them a great learning environment for their students. Many items were simply ripped out and discarded, without consulting the teachers first. As a new teacher you will get some leeway, but your best bet is to get advice from teachers in your district. Also, there are thousands of teacher websites that could help you with decorating. And check out pinterest. Lots of teachers share their creativity there. Good luck, and congrats on your new job.
