SMALL SPACE ACCENTS: Showcasing Wine

Wine bottles can be a fun accent in a small space. I have featured a few different leaning wine racks before and spotted yet another riddling rack at Anthropolgie. While still pricey at $200, these racks can cost upwards to $400 in vintage shoppes so do some research before you go for it.

I LOVE...Thanksgiving, Being with Family & Sweet Potato Pie with Marshmallows on Top

A SMALL ORGANIZING TIP THAT'S AN EASY D.I.Y.

My boyfriend and I both use our home office all of the time and we sometimes tend to be a bit unorganized. So our goal in the new home office in the new apt, I am hoping to really get our space in order so it can be efficient for use. One easy little tip we may use are these Days of the Week clips. I imagine these hanging on a silver wire. They would be perfect to help organizing bill paying, scheduled events and any important reminders. This easy DIY would look cool on silver painted clips and black writing. More to come on this in a few weeks....

SMALL SPACE ACCENTS: La Rosa Fruit Bowl

I'm loving the La Rosa Fruit Bowl by Alessi. This fruit bowl uses the rose as its motif – a symbol of femininity, grace, and love. This would look pretty on my mirrored buffet. I love the pop of color!

CONSIDERING A CONVERTIBLE SOFA

I often consider how my furniture can function in multiple ways. The ottomans become extra seating, the buffet acts as a welcome home piece plus a bookcase inside, etc. In our new apartment, we have a 2nd bedroom to act as a dedicated office and guestroom. This pretty convertible sofa may have to make a new home in our new home. When folded down, it's not quite a full sized bed but I think it does the trick. (and I LOVE the look!)

SMALL SPACE DWELLER HANDBOOK: Finding The Function In A Space

This chic VOGUE Living layout, designed by Thom Filicia, features many small space tips that you can use right in your own home.

I love the entryway in picture one - stunning! Bold in style, the function here is a welcoming entryway that offers a place to put your keys, hang your coat, drop your things off after a day of work. And use all of this space - try hanging a whimsical shade to draw the eye up and add detail in every part of this small space.

Picture two is a great example of angling furniture. While the chairs featured may be too big in scale for a small space, the function is that you are maximizing all of your space and creating extra seating and dimension in your small space.

SMALL SPACE ACCENTS: Scalloped Shade

I spotted this pretty scalloped shade at HD Buttercup a few months ago. I love the simplicity and elegance of this accent. It would look lovely over a chocolate brown parsons dining table. I like mixing traditional and classic design styles - provides texture and dimension in your small space.

SMALL SPACE DWELLER HANDBOOK: Try An Angle Pt. 1

Small spaces don't really allow for furniture to float in a room. Instead most pieces end up against the walls to accommodate the room's footprint. If you have more pieces then your wall allows, why not try to angle to the piece? I bought this mint condition Mulhauser chair over the summer it's angled in our main room. Not only does it fit in the space now but it defines the family room side of the long rectangular space.
