Living Large in Small Spaces

I borrowed the title of my post from the cover of the July/August issue of House Beautiful, although I might also add "Small Spaces Reign Supreme!"...or at least they do this month. Some of my favorite designers and architects- Maureen Footer, Nick Olsen, and Richard Bories and James Shearron- all have projects featured, and I am wowed by how each of them managed to make these small apartments both stylish and livable, all in very clever ways. Because as many of us know, living in a small home requires a lot of planning and design smarts.

Added bonus: check out Nick's video tour of the Brooklyn apartment that he decorated. Both Nick and the apartment look as good on video as they do in print!
