House Tour: 500 Square Feet of Breathing Space


A lot of you have probably heard me whine about how restricted I feel living in a 500 sq foot apartment. But then I see something like this gorgeous Swedish apartment (which is the exact same size) and realize that maybe the only thing limiting me is my imagination.

I love how the whitewashed walls and floors completely open the space and give each room a sense of continuity. The sleek papered dividing wall between the living room and bedroom is another master touch, and don't get me started on how much I adore the shiny pop from the black lacquered cabinets in the kitchen.

Personally, I love "stuff" way too much to ever live in such a disciplined little nest, but there are plenty ideas worth stealing here, no matter your taste or your square footage.
