Because the tiniest room in the house is sometimes the one in most desperate need, I hope you will enjoy these hand-picked photos. I love these powder rooms because they are indeed small, and thus similar to what you and I might have in our own homes, and yet, they are stylish and gorgeous. There are all styles to choose from: modern, traditional, contemporary.

My favorite ones are definitely the ones with wood planks. I love the texture wood adds to the room, and I think it looks so original and different.

Special Trivia: Which of the above powder rooms belongs to an actor/actress from  Friends?

Cool, Tiny Kitchen

I LOVE happy places, and this is one of them: a tiny kitchen that can even acomodate two people for lunch. Pick a bright color, like this turquoise, if you'd like to spruce up your room. Everything looks so neat and in order, thanks to the white shelves. I'm especially fond of the spice garden by the window.

Small Space, Huge Style

Thanks to my friend Patti G I realised I have been gone for almost a month! Waaaay too much! =( I'm really sorry, and hope to make it up soon. You see, I had some pretty busy weeks and then I went out for my summer vacations... but still, that's no excuse. I really hope this second half of the year gets better for my blogging and my house projects.

That being said, I'm here to share with you  a great place. It's a Toronto loft, designed by  Jassia Kelly and published by Style At Home magazine. It's tiny, and it's gorgeous. I LOVE tiny and gorgeous because I can relate to tiny spaces, and look forward to achieving gorgeous. I hope you like it too.

Enjoy.

A great idea for small spaces are glass or see-through furniture, such as these tables. They allow light through, and don't block view (which is always great in a small room). Another great thing is the small "chaise longé". A big mistake we often make in small places is jamming them with huge furniture, which only makes the room look smaller.

I love the use of mirrors in this dining nook. A great way to use the corners is with built-in seating areas.

Now, this is a gorgeous, tiny kitchen. If you have one wall to decorate, you can choose to make a big statement. This lovely damasque wallpaper is beautiful and matches the red in the dining area.

The brick wall looks beautiful in combination with the dark wood. I love the pictures hung over the bed.

And finally the bathroom, wich looks all tidy and neat.

So, how do you like it? Thumbs up, or down? Do tell!

Got Space?

Sometimes I find myself complaining about my lack of space at home, so I really enjoy great small places showing creative solutions to our common issues. They're fascinating to me.

Here are some ingenious ideas I found at Dwell I'd like to share with you.
