Living in Small Spaces
Okay, so in my last video clip I talked about putting matboard up. For me, matboard is an alternative to refrigerator frames with magnets. I thought it was a better option to tape the matboard on my fridge to highlight memories or just showcase pictures that will accent my kitchen.
Okay, so I purchased two Walmart lamps and placed them on my shelving in living room. The problem isn’t with the lamp on the first shelf, but rather with the one on the top shelf. I can’t reach it and I’ll be darned if I’m going to climb up and down on a step ladder every single day to turn it off.
If you have a small storage closet and the room to spare, you can use the clothes rack as a paper towel holder. My closet rod is expandable so it was simple enough for me to pull it away from the wall. All I had to do was…
If you’re moving and you want to cut down on time, use grocery bags instead of boxes. This will cut your moving time in half because you will be able to carry more bags in your hands than boxes. Not only that, you can fit more bags into confined spaces (i.e. car) as opposed to boxes.
Have you ever thought how much space is wasted under the staircases? The under stairs storage cabinets allow you to reclaim all this wasted space and use it to store anything you want…
Stairs usually take a lot of ground space in our apartments but they are absolutely necessary; what if you could find wall stairs that would eliminate space needed?

The Ecochair is made out of cardboard–recycled materials (corrugated cardboard and cotton) and what makes it truly amazing is that it can turn from a chair into a chaise-like bed. In short, it expands. Pretty cool, huh? You can get a closer look at it through the video clip and image gallery below.
If you’re broke right now but in desperate need of some furniture, you can make your own. The instructable below offers you great insight on how to do so. And since you can create virtually any design from cardboard, you can also come up with your own space saving cardboard furniture.
Casulo is still on the drawing board – so far, there is a prototype but that is as far as the project has reached at present. Despite this, the innovative Casulo design has already won an award from the Abraham and David Roentgen Foundation, based on its innovative design and concept. A further recognition was awarded by the Lucky Strike Junior Design Award in 2008.
If it’s strength and stability you are looking for and a design with clean simple lines, look no further than the Hidden Connector System, a patented concept introduced in 1994 by the company, Creative Connectors.
The Circular Kitchen really is a clever kitchen idea as its designer, Alfred Averbeck, himself notes. The Circular Kitchen is fully circular, rotating a full 180 degrees, and standing a full 18 square feet.
If you want to go green and you want to stop using paper towels, consider using “grab rags” instead. What are grab rags? Oh, just a set of dingy wash clothes and towels that you can no longer use to wipe your hands, wash your body or clean dishes with.
Your dust pan can do double-duty in the winter. Of course it will only work if you’re home or if you take it with you. But not only can it help you clear dirt off of the floor but you can also use it to shovel snow off of your car.

My name is Amber. My partner and I have a cute home in Mullumbimby with two rather long rectangular rooms which we are struggling with. One has a lot of light and has become the T.V., computer and play room (for our two kids under six) and the other, a quiet room situated between bedrooms and is also the entrance of the house.

If you havenât caught it on Oprah or recently on YouTube or Yahoo (ABC News), you might be fascinated with the idea of building your own small home. And when I say small, I mean really really small. Consider most studio apartments to be even bigger or perhaps equivalent to the tiny 96-square foot homes going around.
