Aside from those baskets you haven't shown "how to organize" anything. Your place looks cluttered and the little cabinet you opened looked messy inside! The labels on the baskets are not even neat - maybe you should use a label maker. Where do you hang jackets and coats?

where did u get those white cotton dividers on the black wire shelves? I have a lot of space and I don't know how to organize it. Right now I am decluttering lots of paper. I have a one bedroom condo which I want to organize and decorate. Can u or anyone give me tips on what to use my ugly purple and grey storage crates for. I want them outta sight too and have thought about putting them in my walk through closet! Also, does anyone know a formula for working on a decorating theme?
This is interesting. I live outside Paris, France (former NYer) in a 2 bedroom apt, and it's hard to keep clean and organized. Not impossible ... but we definitely don't need MORE room. I do expatriation consulting and other fun stuff such as being a personal guide for vacation and business, if anyone wants to contact me. Good video, uprated.
My wife and I and our dog lived full-time and year round for 4 and a half years in an Airstream travel trailer which had an interior area of 248 square (8' x 31'). The dog was about the size of boxer (66lbs) and we all lived very comfortably in it with all our belongings. So yes, you can live comfortably in such a space with a dog that's not too energetic (not a Jack Russel for instance). Hope this helps.
way to go on living in a small space, wish there were more small apartments available. I think that having those white box things stacked on the black wire shelves is working against making your place look organized. I understand that it helps you to find everything but I think you would do better with a large file cabinet or something of the like were you could organize stuff inside and then close the drawers for a clean smooth look. Living small is the way to go!
anyone know where I can get those soft woven basket / tray thingiea she pulled out with scarves and yoga tops in them and the cotton baskets that can hold the tags? I could really use those!
@codgamer690 There are definitely others. I filmed a smaller one last summer. It's called "Manhattan shoebox apartment: a 78-square-foot mini studio "
Small house movement = impoverishment & disenfranchisement. There's nothing romantic, hip nor cool about living in an upholstered garden shed, despite P.B.S.'s preachments.
even if i were rich, id want a small as possible place with the least furniture, but painted in colors&very neat. i also dont own a lot of clothes&don't buy what i dont need. that makes me happy
I feel suffocated just looking at this. How much time does she spend refolding when she pulls a shirt from the middle of a pile, or reaches way over her head for something and everything falls out?
@AMcGrath82 just curious, wtf is you admire, and all l see in her demor a sexually deprived nars . b**** lf you know body language you can tell by way she stands rigid and legs crossed so tite you'd a crowbar to get in that pie! l prefer my legs to just like peanut butter, soft, smooth, and easy to spread!! ; - )))
We sold our 3500 sq. ft. home and bought a 37 ft. travel trailer to live in until we got our house built. We liked living in the trailer so much that we decided not to build a house. It's really nice because of the money we saved by not building we are able to take vactions and relax more. I have everything I had in my house in my trailer. It's great because it used to take me all day to clean the house, now I can clean in under an hour.
I would rather live in a small place, however in this video, the apt. could look alot more attractive- with curtains that hide all the shelves etc. I used to live in a studio apt. and my place was great, but I amade it alot more vibrant.
I've done much the same, after the death of my Husband, almost 2 years ago, I've "downsized" our home from 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, into a "STUDIO" when I have just the Living Room, Kitchen, Laundry and Master Bathroom. The other rooms have been permanently sealed off. And I've thinned & thinned, and am continually thinning, because the old state "LESS IS MORE" really is true.
I am jealous! I wish I knew where to get a tiny space in NYC. I would be there in a flash. I have wanted to live there for years and can't afford $3,000.00 a month. I don't want to "share" a space and would be VERY happy living where she does. I don't require much, so I say, great for her!
@MrGibbsatWar I got the feeling that she was gay, but who knows for sure. I'm all for small living but being that close to the ceiling in my bed would keep me from resting well. She's pretty cool for living like this, but a bit kooky.
@DG3744 My my, such anger. How is it that you know with absolute certainty that she doesn't live there? And why does this make you so mad in the first place? Chill out, dude. This is a quasi-news piece about a woman living in a small place. Babies aren't dying because of this story. Sheesh.
@alyssaharley WOW! Who said I was angry!! dON'T Assume anything about me you have no idea who I am. Don't you accuse me of anything. I know for a fact that this is a total sales pitch. I know someone who knows her and she still lives with her family. I just don't like being played for a fooled or bullshitted.
I'm sorry, but that's not a "home." I have to imagine this woman can afford a place that's bigger than a walk-in closet, so I don't for the life of me understand why she's choosing to live in a space where she can't have guests or entertain or spread out and just LIVE. I don't get it for the life of me.
I moved into my little studio about 1 1/2 years ago from a large 1 bedroom. I have since gotten rid of probably 80% of my belongings that I started out with. Like this woman in the video said, I still feel like I have too much and I continue to find stuff to give away. Living in this small space has been very freeing and I love it!
She has a great point. The only thing I use my living room for is to connect the front door to my master bedroom. I own a 2bdrm 1 & 3/4 bath condo but I'd be just as happy with a studio floor plan. It's paid off as of 2 months ago (YIPPIE!). Took 11 years to pay it off but if I had bought something smaller I could have been 100% debt free 4 or 5 years ago.
