Small Space Race Contest

I have now chosen the winners for the Small Space Race Contest. Although all contestants did exceptionally well, it’s time to spotlight the winners for doing and outstanding job in all categories in which they were judged. Anyway, I won’t keep you waiting. The 3 winners are…

The The Small Space Race Contest had less participants but really great entries. It’s our second big contest here at FFSS and I’m very pleased with the results. Everyone did an excellent job. And you’ll also be glad to know that…

Entry #10 for the Small Space Race Contest. When you’re given 63 square feet to turn into a bedroom and a workspace, there’s a fine line between cozy and cramped - especially when your wallet is wearing thin. Given that I could not sacrifice desk space for floor space, my approach was…

Entry #9 for the Small Space Race Contest. I am a design student in Los Angeles and I live in a studio apartment that is approximately 300 square feet. I’m all about my studio, its one of my favorite projects to work on. Its important to me to visually divide up the space with out…

Entry #8 for the Small Space Race Contest. I think we’ve made beautiful use of this 10.5′ x 12.5′ (I am not joking!) space by angling the couch in the longer direction to fool the eye to thinking the room is bigger than it really is. We have a gorgeous faux fireplace that…

Entry #7 for the Small Space Race Contest. When I first saw this space, I was sad and wondered how I’d ever be able to live in it… it was so small and had zero character. This is the studio apartment I moved to after my husband left me a few months ago. I call it…

Entry #6 for the Small Space Race Contest. When I moved into my new space, I was bemoaning to a friend how small my bedroom felt… to which they replied, “Well, it’s no wonder — you’ve got like an entire apartment squeezed into this one room!” A few weeks and some rearranging later, I…

Entry #5 for the Small Space Race Contest. Our family room is 25′ by 9 1/2′, with a door leading out the garage, a door leading out to the patio, and doorways to the kitchen on one end, and the dining room on the other. So I was basically limited to one wall against which the furniture could go. Any…

Entry #4 for the Small Space Race Contest. I hope you enjoy viewing my space. I know I do!! Although it’s tight living I’d have to admit this has been my best apartment. The first photo is a view of my living room taken in the small space between my kitchen and dining room. From here you can see…

Entry #3 for the Small Space Race Contest. I think my bedroom is the perfect mix of masculinity with a relaxed island theme. Though having numerous personal relics, from the early twentieth century trolley car fare-box I restored to the slate fossil of a fern leaf I found with my grandfather as…

Entry #2 for the Small Space Race Contest. I live in a roughly 400 square foot studio apartment. It’s definitely been a challenge to find space for all of my belongings. My strategy is to try to buy thrifty pieces that can be used for multiple functions.

Entry #1 for the Small Space Race Contest. You can see the front entry that leads into the living room and kitchen in the first photo. The second photo shows the small closet to the left as you enter. In the third photo you can see a quick glimpse of the kitchen.
