I love her use of space. But in the cabinet w/ the bowls, she could put in an extra shelf, if she could space them closer together.

Renters sometimes can’t do that, but if she could move the cleats down, or simply install new ones, she’d fit another whole row of bowls/pans.

I have a small kitchen (well, small for most people, but palatial compared to the kitchens here!) Very little counter space, which would drive me crazy when my husband decided to “help” me cook. No place to put him!

There’s a small area for a table and chairs in the kitchen (I said it was, comparatively speaking, palatial!) I got rid of the standard table and chairs and got a narrow but sturdy counter-height table with two stools. Our eating area doubles (in more ways than one) as prep space.

Great post! I agree with others that it makes you think about what you want versus what you need. I need to do some thinking about that kind of thing. I have to much mess. Thanks for sharing!

Her kitchen is so inspiring! It really makes you stop and think about what you want versus what you *need*, doesn’t it! What a great post, Katie!

So inspiring!

We are moving our family of four into a 700 sq ft apartment (in Paris, so it’s worth it!), and I couldn’t be happier. I like surrounding myself with the necessities, the things I love and that’s it. :)
