Over the last few years the idea of a small space is getting progressively smaller. There was a time when moving into an eight-hundred square foot urban condo seemed like moving into a large closet; however, now a six-hundred square foot condo is not uncommon to find. It also seems the perception of working with a designer on such a small space is like hiring a wedding planner to go to city hall with two friends. Nothing could be further from the truth. Making a life work in a small space means that you cannot take one square foot for granted. Proper space planning is paramount to making the space functional.

The long wall in this condo created an opportunity to display some interesting art. The eye chart at the end of the dining table is the perfect size for the table. The collection of framed images over the sofa were found on the Internet, blown up and framed to create a collage. The small wall between the two windows at the end of the condo is perfect for the letters in various sizes and her bike fit so perfectly into the space.
