Good Morning! I wanted to share a couple of tips on how to work with small spaces. Small spaces can be just as overwhelming as a large space. It's important to maximize every inch of a small area.



Built Ins – Nothing provides the utility of additional space better than a built in. By creating a bookcase within your wall or cabinets in your closet, the floor space is not compromised and the room offers more functionality.













Maximize your closet space - The more effectively the space in your closets is utilized, the better it contains your clutter, freeing up space in the rest of your home.

Fantastic Accessory!

Do you ever have an empty space that needs that extra something? Maybe in a bookcase or on top of a sofa table? This company produces book covers with great quotes that run along the binder or simple covers with no quotes to cover your books! (sayitwithbookcovers.com) If you have books that have already been read but you are not quite ready to get rid of this is a great way to utilize them!

What a fantastic accessory in a room!

Fabulous Settees!

I love Settees! There size allows you to fit them in small spaces beautifully while still providing comfortable cozy seating. Both of the settees below would look great in a breakfast nook or corner of a room. Add a small cafe table and a couple of chairs and you have a great intimate seating area for breakfast, coffee with friends and reading area.


Wentworth by Lee Jofa


The Wentworth has a traditional style while the Beverly bench has a quirky fun vintage look to it. Both of them can be jazzed up with fantastic patterned fabric or toned down with a soft simple fabric.

The Bird's Nest Chair!

I thought this was another fun and interesting chair. Very sculptural!

The bookshelf chair!

This chair is very practical and fun all at the same time. There is no need to get up to browse your book titles. You have all your reading needs right there at your seat!

Inspirational spaces!

This was featured in the lastest Interior Design Magazine and I wanted to share it with you all. This is John Barman's weekend home in Connecticut. The spaces are inspirational in color and design.

Chandeliers!

Here are some fantastic chandeliers from Horchow! I love the various styles that range from elegant to playful to classic.
