.small.spaces.

Next month, I am moving into a very small apartment. It's centrally located and the price is so right, but it's wanting for floor space.
One thing that excites me is the height of the ceiling; it's probably 15-20 feet high. I am so excited for shelving that goes up and up! The kitchen is small and offset from the living space, which makes me very happy. I plan on installing a 24" fan into the kitchen to increase ventilation and style.

I want to do a graphic look; I am thinking a navy or white slipcover for the sofa with a bright red or orange rug beneath it.

The floors are hardwood (which I love!) and the closet is deep and tall.

Another plus, and part of the reason I chose the place, is that there is a patio that (potentially) creates an outdoor dining room and reading nook.

The floorplan is peculiar enough for me to be interested in its potential.

One thing is for certain, there will be loads of updates once I move in to this fun and challenging space.

Post Script: I will find out the exact square footage on Monday, but it has enough for for a bed and loveseat. The jury is still out on the rest, but I know I will need a flat panel TV for a space like this one. Not necessarily a wall mount, but that wouldn't hurt. There will definitely be DVD and book stacks for awhile until I install the shelves.

I cannot even think about where my big brass horn will go. I'll try not to think about it!

I plan on working hard on this place, so I will post very regularly starting next month with pictures and musings. It will be a bit of work (as most beginner apartments are), but I'm excited about a new space to conquer!

Until next time.
Adios.
