today while traveling to d.c., i finally got a chance to read this month’s house beautiful issue. it was newell turner’s first issue as editor in chief and i must say that he did a great job on his first issue.
i loved the living big in small spaces feature. and i especially liked ellen o’neill’s 540 sq. ft. NYC one bedroom studio apartment.
to look at the pictures of her quaint little studio you would never guess that it is only one room total. by creating small vignettes in various locations throughout her studio she was able to make the space feel like it has multiple rooms.
her daybed is multi-functional. it is used as a sofa by day…
and a bed by night.
i think it’s great that even in a 450sf studio ellen has managed to create a pretty spacious home office. i have twice as much space in my condo, and i still don’t have a home office like hers.

i think i could definitely adjust to new york city living if i had this studio to live in.
It is amazing. What a wonderful wall of windows!
ReplyDeleteShe did such a great job using every inch of space. I completely agree with you - all the vingettes make the room feel so much more spacious.
ReplyDeleteIt was a great issue of House Beautiful. It was amazing to see all the great spaces that were small in space but big in style!
ReplyDeleteI agree this is a gorgeous space and what a great job by Newell Turner on his first issue! It's amazing what can be accomplished in a small space. Function and organization are key!
