Among all the small space advice I can give, this is my no. 1 - Live what you love. First and foremost, when it comes to small space living, one must identify with what they surround themselves with. There is only so much space so you might as well fill it with the things that make you smile. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Beyond that, you want to make sure that how your space functions matches that as well. Meaning if you are an entertainer, layout your space with seating and a flow that allows for that. If you love to cook, focus on making the kitchen the central hub. Perhaps you'd love to bring your yoga practice out of the studio and into your home from time to time; put your furniture on castors so you can roll then away and roll out your mat. Whatever the case, your place should reflect who you are and function for what you love! Live what you love.</div>

Wow! It's the first Monday in March. Time just seems to be flying by! Feels like New Years was just last week. Besides the blistering cold here in Toronto, I have no complaints. The sun does find it's way out every now and again, I am working on a new kitchen project that I can't wait to share with you all and the Eight Hundred Sq. Ft. art collection will be rolling out soon! * Nike doing her little dance of joy* So excited for you to be a part of the great things taking place at Eight Hundred Sq. Ft.!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In the spirit of excitement, let's start this month off with this gorgeous 570 square foot small space of the week. It may not be apparent at first glance, but this beautiful light filled space is completely partition-less except for one sliding wall the exposes the stunning bedroom/bathroom combination.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
By removing all the walls in this tiny second floor apartment, the home owners were able to create a space that floods with natural light and appears larger than it really is. Free flowing in an open concept design, the space flows from living to dining to the earthy sleeping quarters and into the bathroom which is located in the hallway! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I am amazed by how simple yet beautifully done this space is. Incorporating touches of nature and bold elements like the over-sized print of legendary actor Paul Newman, this space takes the win for the week and is added to our collection of small space beauties.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Have a great Monday Small Space Dwellers and here's to a wonderful March!</div>

It's Friday!!! For some reason this week seemed particularly long. I mean Tuesday felt like it should have been Thursday and Friday seems like it lost its way finding today. In any case, I am glad it's Friday and figured a bit of fashion would be in order.<br />
<br />
Every so often I like to show how fashion and decor imitate each other in this lovely game of copycat. Months ago I stumble upon <a href="http://www.pashionality.com/">PASHIONALITY</a>, a fashion blog of the gorgeous Patricia De Nascimento; a Brazilian blogger currently living in Switzerland as she shares her passion for fashion art and culture. Her beauty and style sense were are so captivating, I have become a regular visitor of her blog.<br />
<br />
It was delightful and I couldn't help but share this fashion + decor match between her August 24th 2012 summer look and the fabulous dining room of Andrea Millar that I came across on <a href="http://thedesignfiles.net/2012/07/sydney-home-andrea-millar-and-family/">The Design Files</a>. This Rozelle home, already beautifully decorated with vintage artwork, sunday school benches and a wonderful Morrocan lantern, makes a huge statement with this beautiful pink and purple ethnic printed rug. An equally grand statement in the eye catching Zara skirt that Patricia is so beautifully rocking!<br />
<br />
Once again fashion and decor dance gracefully. Here is to fashion, decor and a fantastic Friday!<br />

A while back I came across <a href="http://simplicitysofas.com/">Simplicity Sofa</a> through a random act of social media serendipity and was immediately drawn because of their tag line; Furniture that F.I.T.S. (Furniture for Tight Spaces). Custom built upholstered furniture designed for small spaces and tight places. I knew right away that this would be the start of hours of perusing through their website to see what timbits of small space goodness they had to offer. Then I laid my eyes on their <a href="http://www.simplicitysofas.com/megan-apartment-sofa/">Megan Collection</a>. A perfectly classic rolled armed beauty. One of those pieces that has versatility written all over it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: center;">I've never been one to swoon over a rolled arm but I couldn't help but appreciate Megan's elegance. She F.I.T.S in small spaces but also F.I.T.S into any style. I personally would pair Megan with a room filled with ethnic flare and let natural woods, fabrics and industrial pops marry with her allure. I would accessorize her boldly and let her set soothe the tone.</span></div>

Happy Monday Small Space Dwellers! I'm hoping you had a magnificent weekend with a little rest and a lot of beauty! For this small space pick of the week, we take a trip out to Madrid once again to this particularly charming apartment. Equally divided between a personality of the past and a modern outlook, this small space is a definite looker.<br />
<br />
The house of collections takes the award for being the biggest small space of the week thus far at just over 1000 sq. ft., but it was definitely one that I had to share with you. I especially love this space because the passion for furniture and objects of the past resonate with me. Even the new elements like the leather sofa was chosen with an antiques finish. I can't help but appreciate the life that has been put in to this space by filling it with beautiful stories (and pieces) of the past.<br />
<br />
Heres to small spaces with an antique flair!<br />

Hey All! I wanted to share with you this lovely Chelsea apartment. It's the beautiful, 550 square foot home of Rosa and Robert Garneau. The functionality and versatility of their space is maxed out to its fullest potential. Since they both work from home they had no choice but to make their apartment work for them and did so by creating privacy with sliding walls.<br />
<br />
Nearly every wall in the Garneau's loft opens up to reveal a hidden function; cabinets, a bed and a home office. They even added hydraulics legs to their multi-purpose kitchen island (also used for work) so that it can be lowered for dining! I can't forget to mention that there is storage everywhere - under the sofa and even behind the wall in the bathroom where they house their hidden laundry hamper.<br />
<br />
This space is amazing and an example of a small space done to perfection! Check out the video to see a full documentation of this Swiss Army Knife Apartment.<br />

<br />
Hello Small Space Dwellers! It's great to be back from the long weekend. My gears have been turning for the past week on what to do to freshen up my entryway. When I first bought my place the entryway was the basic all white everything. I couldn't help but jazz it up with a painted door, extra moulding, wall mounted organizer (for mail and my keys), large scale art, and a sexy chair.This got me thinking of the elements that make the perfect <i>small</i> entryway.<br />
<br />
In most small spaces the entryway is the last area that gets decorated, although one of the most important places. The entrance marks the transition from the outside world to our private quarters. Realize it or not it is the place where we pause for the briefest of moments to reflect as we shed the layers (and cares) of the public life before entering our home. So making the entryway both functional and beautiful is quite important!<br />
<br />
There are 4 fundamental elements that should be in every small entryway:<br />
<br />
<div class="noborderdv" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-KYWh7hsA7q8/USNSL_IyTVI/AAAAAAAAHWA/cDoOymankYU/s1600/Small+Entryway+1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-KYWh7hsA7q8/USNSL_IyTVI/AAAAAAAAHWA/cDoOymankYU/s1600/Small+Entryway+1.png" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
1. The Landing Strip - A place for keys, mail and various items you unload as you enter your space.<br />
2. Mirror - For the quick glance as you are headed out the door.<br />
3. Storage - No explanation needed...lol<br />
4. Accents - Your entryway is the first this that is seen as people enter your home, It should be a reflection of you and what wonders are in store in the rest of your home!<br />
<br />
Try it! These are all quick additions make make so much of a difference! Be sure to shares. I always love hearing from you!<br />

Valentine's Day always gets me in the nostalgic mood with thoughts of the loved ones. I figure since the day is about love why not have a custom piece of furniture made to commemorate it?<br />
<br />
This chair from <a href="http://www.ohhsit.com/">OHHSIT!</a> stopped me dead in my internet surfing tracks. The designer, Britten Goetz, made the chair for her daughter as a way to keep her connected with her grandmother and great-grand mother who recently passed away.<br />
<br />
What can I say except this is an absolutely brilliant idea and such a great way to personalize furniture. This is one of those pieces that I'm sure will be passed down from generation to generation paying homage to her loved one for years to come. Check the other custom designs and her beautiful work of art on <a href="http://www.ohhsit.com/">OHHSIT!</a> <br />

This small space pick of the week is a bit of a Valentine's Special. This 750 sq. ft. Madrid apartment has magnificent fabrics, and tons of visual impact. It's different, but that's what I love about it. The dusty purple sofa exudes charm and fills the room with sophistication and femininity. They've opened up the space with a gigantic mirror in the dining room and emphasized the hight ceilings with floor to ceiling fabric panels.<br />
<br />
I usually don't gravitate toward whimsical designs, but maybe I'm just feeling the Valentine love in the air. Walk with me through this small glamour lounge.<br />

Happy Monday All! After the week off, I am refreshed and inspired from my short trip. I decided, on the spur of a moment, to head off to Halifax for my birthday. I had never been before and am so glad that I went. The city is quaint and absolutely stunning. The building are beautiful and the architecture is rich as though filled with stories.<br />
<br />
I had a lovely host; MaryBeth, a friend that I met by chance last summer. We explored places like Victoria Park, Peggy's Cove and visited a little antique shop, Rural Routes, in what seemed to be the middle of nowhere.<br />
<br />
I got snowed in and my plane home got cancelled TWICE, but I can't complain about being stuck in such a gorgeous place. Definitely a city worth visiting. Here are timbits of my weekend away.<br />

Hello All! I've missed you! I took some time off and went to Halifax for my birthday to relax and mentally recharge. The city is beautiful and filled with gorgeous architecture. I had a fabulous time and will share my trip with you some time this week. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Returning from my trip, I was greeted with a birthday gift from my brother which I am absolutely adoring! <a href="http://www.kelvintools.com/" target="_blank">The Kelvin.23</a>. You may have seen this product on <a href="http://www.cbc.ca/dragonsden/" target="_blank">Dragon's Den</a>, but if you haven't it is 'THE Swiss Army Knife of Tools'. 23 Tools packed into one compact hand held gadget!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I've been testing it out for the last couple of days and must say it really is ingenious. Not only is the obvious multi-functionality great but it is well designed. It is the perfect size (sleek and fits great in the female hand); ridiculously straight forward and easy to use; and the electric power pink just adds that extra bit of sas. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Check out the features. The video below really does not do this sexy little tool justice!</div>

Good Morning All! Today is my birthday. 29 years of wondrous love and life. This birthday for me is a reflective one. I think back on my past and what I have experienced and smile at where it has brought me and who it has caused me to meet. I feel my present and sit in gratitude of the the Most High for the life he allows me to live today. I look to my future and beam with joy and love for the treasures of life that lay before me. This day I am thankful. I am loved and truly blessed<br />

Arianne!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://lepageproducts.com/ProductDetail.aspx?pid=114" target="_blank">No More Nails</a><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">®</span> Missy! No More Nails<span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">®</span>! No more Nails<span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">®</span> is like an industrial style double sided mounting tape meant exactly for places like yours... or for people that don't want holey walls :) It is perfect for renters. Just cut the tape to the size you desire, peel off the protective covering strip and away you go! Because it is meant for permanent mounting I do not recommend it for delicate surfaces so I do find that this product can be a disaster with drywall if you do not follow the instructions taking it off. BUT since your walls are concrete YOU ARE GOOD TO GO!<br />
<br />
For lighter weight hanging, <a href="http://www.command.com/wps/portal/3M/en_US/NACommand/Command/Products/Catalog/~/Command-Medium-Picture-Hanging-Strips-4-Pack?N=5924736+3294736519&rt=rud" target="_blank">Command Hanging Strips</a> work equally well and are no problem with mounting items to drywall. Please do share pictures with us! I can wait to see it what you have in the works!<br />

Hello Small Space Dwellers! Hope your week has been full of inspiration and creative living. I wanted to introduce you to a fellow dweller of the small and compact; Nicole Alvarez of <a href="http://www.intentionallysmall.com/" target="_blank">Intentionally Small</a>. I met Nicole a few months back in events that almost seemed destined, as we both emailed the other to introduce ourselves at the same time. I was intrigued by her blog, Intentionally Small, and how she laid out small spaces according to their square footage. We were both advocates of small space living, and it shows in our blogs, but Nicole's Intentionally Small had an air of the technical. Probably due to the floor plans she puts together for each space that she features. <br />
<br />
When we finally met, we shared stories of our own small space experience and what brought us there. Nicole is an awesome individual and a strong advocate of living well in small spaces. Read along to hear her story and what she has to say about living large in her 300 sq. ft. studio apartment.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: inherit;"><b>How long have you been a Small Space Dweller?</b></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: inherit;">I have lived in my 300-sqft studio apartment for 1½ years, but I have been a small space dweller for much longer. Having always shared a residence with a roommate in college dorms and while studying abroad, this is the first apartment I could consider my own.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: inherit;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: inherit;"><b>Tell us about your small space journey. Why do you like living in small spaces? </b></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: inherit;">My small space journey began when I designed a backyard apartment for an architecture school project. This was the first time that I thought critically about how a space can influence a person’s way of living, and vice versa, how a person’s lifestyle can define the space. I became intrigued with how a small space can be crafted so wonderfully around a person.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: inherit;">It wasn’t until I lived in my own small space, that I learned first-hand how a space can influence a person’s life. Everything about my studio apartment is so intentional, from the built-ins for added storage, to my furniture selections; everything just fits my space and me perfectly. Living in a smaller space encouraged me to live more simply and consciously. I began to walk/bike more, compost my food waste, eat healthier, and spend more time with my loved ones. I am all around happier than ever before. When you love your space, it shines through all aspects of your life.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: inherit;">Now, through my blog, <a href="http://www.intentionallysmall.com/" target="_blank">Intentionally Small</a>, I explore small spaces and simple living. I study my apartment, and document other people’s small spaces. It’s really my way of exploring this passion further, while sharing ideas on small living.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">

<div style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: inherit;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: inherit;"><b>What are your key tips when designing a small space?</b></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: inherit;">The best part of my space is the amount of natural light that pours in through the large windows. I love it. So maximizing light will make any small space feel wonderful.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: inherit;">Take your time when selecting furniture, and choose wisely. A small space can be overwhelming if the furniture is too large, too many pieces, or too busy in patterns. Smaller, intentional pieces help the space feel more spacious and cohesive.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: inherit;">Then it’s in the details – plants on a windowsill, art on the walls, and ambient lighting (I love white Christmas lights year-round). That’s when you make it feel like home.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">

<div style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: inherit;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: inherit;"><b>What advice can you offer other Small Space Dwellers for living well in small spaces?</b></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">De-clutter your life. This includes purging unwanted and superfluous items that take up physical space, but also mental clarity. Consider ways to organize your schedule. Explore what makes you happy, and what you really want out of life. Living well in a small space goes beyond the physical world.</span><span style="font-size: 13pt;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 13pt;"></span></span></span></div>

<br />
The small space pick of the week is the small office studio of <a href="http://www.yellowbrickhome.com/our-sweet-home-chicago/" target="_blank">The Yellow Brick Home</a>'s Kim and Scott. Cincinnati natives, they moved to the Wind City and into their 675 Sq. Ft. one bedroom apartment. Although their entire space is an absolute gem, this small space feature is of their office.<br />
<br />
I am in love with the freshness of the space. The crisp airy feeling makes it seem as though the room is larger than it is. Drizzled with hits of navy, peach and gold, it's almost like the room is saying "Good Morning! We are ready to work!"Take a look with me. There are tons of exciting details to swoon over.<br />

Happy Monday Small Space Dwellers! Hope you had a wonderful weekend! I was in bed for most of it but remembered there was a project that I worked on a while back that I wanted to share with you.<br />
<br />
When I had first moved into my place I bought this IKEA headboard that comes with two nightstands that side in and out of it. Because the left side of my bed is right against the wall I couldn't use the left sliding nightstand, so decided to turn it into a little bar that holds my wine glasses. (Now you all know that I am not one to throw anything away...lol)<br />
<br />
This is a super easy diy. Follow along as I show you how to turn a nightstand into a mini bar!<br />

There are two groove in the back of the wine glass rack that slide right on top of the wood pieces that are anchored to the inside of the night stand. </div>

Wow! The next level of magazines here... Maybe I'm a little late but <a href="http://www.lonny.com/" target="_blank">Lonny Magazine</a> has me mesmerized with there january/February 2013 e-Issue. Not only is it filled with the expected plethora of mouth watering designs and decor news but it's interactive! <br />
<br />
You can click on images and text to take you to the specific sections of the magazine; click on products to check out prices and where they can be purchased; link to companies advertising in the magazine by clicking on ads; there is even a video '<a href="http://www.lonny.com/magazine/January+February+2013/n0gZ2qHN5cu/1#7" target="_blank">Editor's Letter</a>'. Seriously it's awesome.<br />
<br />
I've shared a small space spread entitled, '<a href="http://www.lonny.com/magazine/January+February+2013/n0gZ2qHN5cu/1#72" target="_blank">Jessika's Advice for Achieving Everyday Luxury</a>', but go ahead. Peruse through the entire issue for yourself. It's fabulous!<br />

You knew it was going to happen someday! Now we can't talk small spaces without the mention of IKEA. They are the Swedish king of affordable small space furniture! They do a FABULOUS job of finding hidden spaces and choosing furniture that does double duty. They really do stand for being creative, a little rebellion and doing big things no matter how much or how little space you have.<br />
<br />
I just had to share a really neat site I was introduced to recently. <a href="http://www.theshare-space.com/" target="_blank">IKEA Share Space</a>. It's a bit of an IKEA space sharing community that allows you to showcase your space and the IKEA goodies you have in it.<br />
<br />
I've shared <a href="http://www.theshare-space.com/Spaces/800SqFt" target="_blank">my space</a>. Pay me a visit and check out which items in my home came from our Swedish friend.<br />
<br />
Happy Weekend Small Space Dwellers!<br />

The 860 Sq. Ft. apartment of interior decorator, Beatriz Silveira, owner of Batik Interiors is beautifully decorated to highlight the use of materials such as wood and simple lines.<br />
<br />
I love the wall cut between the kitchen and living room, creating two distinct worlds without too a complete partition. Light colors and pastels give a very fresh and feminine side in this small apartment in Madrid. This is my small space pick of the week.<br />

Have you ever notice how much space a bed takes up? I mean, that is a lot of square footage for a piece of furniture that you only use for 7-8 hrs our of your day! I don't know if my concerns are heightened after working on the '<a href="http://eighthundredsqft.blogspot.ca/2013/01/single-girl-bachelor-apartment.html" target="_blank">Single Girl Bachelor Apartment</a>' or if my gears are just always turning for the betterment of us Small Space Dwellers; but I wanted to let it be known that there are solutions out there for to access that oh-so-needed extra square footage during non-sleeping hours. </div>

Introducing the Trundle Bed! Now trundle beds are not a new invention by any stretch of the imagination, but one may not be familiar with them if one is not looking. They allows you to tuck away the unused sleeping quarters when no in use. I for one love this space saving solution not only because they free up unused space, but there are also so many trundle options. </div>
