Nate Berkus






I'm sure most of you know who Nate Berkus is. If not, he is a interior designer that appears on Oprah quite often. Recently he did a Oprah show that was all about small space living. The above pictures are of Nate's 500 square foot New York City apartment he recently redid. I think he did a great job! (You can see before shots at Oprah.com)

Not Your Mother's Shelving





I love how shelving is becoming art in and of itself. Placing shelves high or low, I'm seeing lots of creative idea's. Its a great way to highlight pictures and art. The above photos are great examples of how creative you can become with shelving. There are all sorts of shelving for sale in many stores now...the possibilities are endless!

Ikea's 150 Square Foot Room



<




This was a ad campaign in the 2003 Ikea catalog. I remember looking at this part of the catalog again and again. It was to demonstrate just how much you really could pack in a little space. In this 150 square feet room, they designed it to function for 4 activities. Sleep, work, dinning and a hobby. The pictures show each wall and a above shot. The idea was not to sell you on a 150 square foot room, but to imagine what you could do in yours. I still love this ad, it certainly made me look at my space a lot differently!
