So Small and So Cool

As I've mentioned before, I currently live in a very small studio apartment that resembles a giant bedroom, so this year in particular I have been paying a lot of attention to Apartment Therapy's annual "Small Cool Contest." Because all homes entered into the contest must be under 1,000 square feet (and that is pretty much the only rule), it's a great place to see how others deal with little storage, tiny kitchens, lack of room divisions, and "entertaining." I'm just about convinced to start rearranging all the furniture in my apartment, a lá my favorite hobby in middle school.

There are only two days left to vote on the best of the final four, and it's a pretty big deal because the grand prize is $5,000 bucks! The entry I'm hoping wins is the smallest of the finalists, a tiny Chicago apartment measuring in at 400 square feet. I really like it because it's cute, thoughtful, and so so small. It also looks like a home that's in reach for many of us twenty-somethings. Be sure to check out who's made it to the end and throw in your own vote here.

  4. These are great—I love that chevron rug. I entered my lil' house in that contest a few years ago—we didn't win but it was fun to see people's comments!
