life in a tiny apartment.

so, we finally really measured the joint. turns out, we’re exactly ten feet under 250 square feet. that’s right folks, 240.

we’re also totally stoked to have been taken on as contestants for apartment therapy’s small cool contest 2012. this news is probably mostly exciting because you all finally get to see shots of the place that expand beyond my kitchen table!

we’d be totally thrilled if you’d hop over and vote for us. telling all your friends, family, and coworkers to vote too would also be lovely {not to mention warding off AT readers who think our curtain looks dingy. rude.}. mostly, we’re just happy to show off that we’ve survived so long in a place so tiny. thanks for indulging us.

xo.

    Yay! I love every inch of this place.

    We have a 9' surf board in our place that just fits under the ceiling. It will be interesting to see where it goes next time we move.

    People always make me shake my head when they think they have to say every little thought that's on their little mind. That was rude! Sheesh. On my way to vote~ Peace. n

    You have a cool, great apartment! Heading over to vote now. Obviously someone's mom/dad never taught him/her that if you have nothing good to say, etc. That's too bad. But take it with a grain of salt, or however that old saying goes! Your apartment is fab! 🙂

    I've just been over to have a good look at all the entries. Not being biased because I read your blog, but yours in my favourite. The light, colours and lack of clutter are great. Yes, I think your entry and votes should double as a petition for the landlord!
