Studio apartment kitchen inspiration

Live in a small studio apartment? Basically just one room in which to cram your living sleeping and kitchen? Love to cook but don't want to stare at the kitchen sink while you're reclining on your bed? Rather forget that you live in just that one room? Here is a little inspiration from Melbourne based Nicholas Agius Architects. (Now I just wonder what the studio apartment looked like when the rest of the "stuff" was moved in.)

Small city garden with big impact

The downside of living inner city is often outdoor space is very limited. This Bondi, Sydney house has only the tiniest of backyards, more courtyard than wide open spaces. That didn't stop design and construction design-it landscapes from creating a perfectly formed oasis complete with jewel-like plunge pool. So many ideas to inspire your small space gardening.

Still stalking

Still stalking. Still in Sydney but this time I have moved to Glebe. I'm stalking a c1850 stables conversion. Small but perfectly formed, this wonderful contemporary home with historical touches is a great example of inner-city reuse. Mid mod meets hipster cool meets colonial. Link here while it lasts.

A charming bachelor apartment in Russia

I was poking around The Village the other day hoping to find a little gem of an apartment to share here and sure enough, look what I found! This bachelor apartment is 43.5 m2, is owned by a florist and and a photographer, and is really quite charming. I'm featuring it because I fell in love with the simple kitchen and dining area. A beautiful combination of pink, black, green, and white with a touch of crystal sparkle really has me falling in love with this place. I'd love to Airbnb this.
