Something I've thought about too, also since starting on Instagram recently & I realised that I have a deep need to be liked (by people I respect) & this is one of the reasons I enjoy it & share my life to strangers! It kinda justifies my life somehow - sad really, I know I shouldn't care. On the flipside, I'm a voyeur and love to peek into other people's lives...though, the reasons are probably similar - somehow justifying my little existence!

Not saying that everyone is motivated this way, just why I do it! :-)

tx for the inspiration...we say rather than getting overwhelmed, start with a corner...even a tiny one - all you have to do is start! :-)

BTW - ninakk - totally agree with you, I love my DUX bed and did a similar calculation over 30 years!

BTW - our car cost 600 euros. Yeah - I chose to spend the money on our bed! :-)

Thanks Susan for another great article with inspiring photos! What I am having trouble with though is noone ever talks about the floor or flooring in kitchen design (it seems). We have colour on the floor in the way of natuaral stone and so our kitchen design is a little flawed because it doesn't 'go' with it. Eek. But anyway, have you written anything about kitchen flooring colours / materials as part of overal kitchen design? :-) I'd love to read that!

Just discovered this via the felt doors how to and have to say I am totally impressed!!! I thought we were doing well with 55sqm (about 590 sft) for us & the bub (tho it was an attic, so a third of it was sloping ceilings, which is just fine when you're under 2 feet tall). The 2m x 1m bathroom, I was most proud of! I thought places in Amsterdam were small but it seems that they're smaller in NY. :-) The thing I like about small spaces I have to say is that they make you 1) Clear out all the cr*p you really don't need & 2) Think outside the box & more creatively, both good things. You guys will continue to be an inspiration!

Wow! And I thought I'd seen awkward spaces! :-)

What to do totally depends on your budget of course. Are you standing at the door when you take that shot or is there more room in there (doesn't sound like it)?

I think if you could afford to, I'd make the wall to the shower a half wall all the way across to the window wall. Put your sink on that half wall & build a long long sliding drawer under it (to fit the length of the nook and how far you can actually pull it out!) that you can store all sorts of things in. You'll also have a shelf for your daily shower items and some nice daylight shining into the whole space, which now seems to be blocked by the shower wall! Move shower head if necessary (you don't have to put the pipes in the wall if budget does not allow, just make sure they're a feature to suit the retro style!)

Oh & probably put a mirror on the end wall (where the nook ends) but you could probably also fit a full length mirror on the wall where your current sink mirror is.

Good luck!
