Stylishly small

While I muster up the willpower to force myself to enjoy {or ignore} the now half~empty family room and sun room...

{hubby: lets live with it empty for awhile until we find exactly what we want

me: but we have a garage full of stuff to use

hubby: yes, but it's all junk. It's better empty than full of junk

me: empty is just so...empty, I don't do 'empty' well!}

...I'll spend time soaking up inspiration on creative ways to decorate small spaces.

Check out what this small~house~inhabitant has done with her space.

The dining room is in the basement, with wine lining the walls and painted concrete floors.

Like me, she too has dark walls and dark leather in her living room. That gallery wall on the left is incredible! I love the painted wood floors, rustic wood and splashes of pink.
Small kitchen with gray walls and open shelving. I would die for a big chandy like that in my kitchen instead of my dated fluorescent tube lighting.

Simple yet cozy and chic master bedroom with fabric strategically placed behind bed covering up a window.

This is my dream~converting the guest bedroom into a walk in closet! Pure heaven. Would you believe she spray painted that outdoor rug for this space?! Here is the chic designer and stylist for Euro Trash, Lizzie Carney. Her fabulous 1,000 sq ft. chandy, antique and style~filled bungalow is located in Illinois.

I have managed to start on one furniture re-do project. This one involves plaster so wish me luck! Of course I'll share it with you, whether it turns out or not.

Here's to grandiose dreams for small spaces and getting back into the groove after the post holiday doldrums.

Cheers~
