Where can I find the dining chairs? Thanks for reposting article! So many great ideas!

I lived in an earthquake state for over 15 years with open shelves, etc. “Earthquake glue” held many treasures, large and small, firmly in place.
Lots of interesting ideas for small spaces!

Significant earthquakes tend to be further apart than that. You can use sticky wax for some stuff and it helps, but certainly not potted plants. Looks like the shelves are just held by gravity, too- pipe fittings seem to be chic in New York these days, but have limited practicality. Then again, my local Safeway has wine bottles standing all the way to the edge of their wooden shelves, 6 feet off the floor; maybe they know something- like that earthquakes are obsolete.

Well, they do warn you- I wonder how many of us are actually neat enough to get away with all those open shelves? Being a resident of earthquake country, they're out of the question anyway.

I think, what they have done is very nice & personal.
I also think that people who cannot help putting negative comments as some have put should not be shown, as they do not deserve to have people's time wasted on their negative opinions.

Some might think that if you can't find the courtesy to respect other peoples' opinions, there's no reason for them to respect yours.

The best storage trick I have learned is storing quilts and comforters. Switch out comforters and blankets and store them in between your box spring and mattress. They take up ZERO room and make your bed softer.

This place is a dump. Their shoes are just piled in the floor. The flag is hanging on the wall. Invisible bookcase? Really? It just looks like a pile of books. That sweater rack is hedious. Why not get a small tasteful cabinet for the sweaters and arrange the books on top? That framed picture above the stove is a greasy mess after about a minute.

I think that's the idea with the invisible bookshelf, but I'd like to know what's back there.

I love the dining nook! And such a beautiful flower arrangement! Makes me want to run home and re-do my own!

Nice look - leaning mirror and glass bottle collection perched above it. Couldn't do that here in earthquake country! Cute place.

My sons really like the hanging canvas shoe bags with stacked compartments, similar to these: http://www.containerstore.com/s/closet/hanging-bags/10-compartment-canvas-hanging-shoe-bag/12d?productId=10005137 I bought them a heavier, khaki version when they went away to school . . . . not sure where; they hold 8 pairs of their (large!) shoes.
More floor space for this tiny apartment! ;o)

Someone, please, remove that framed object over the sink / immediately adjacent to the stove at once. Even with a hood (which I don't see), it's going to have a film of grease on it within a week, assuming that the occupants of that kitchen actually cook. Yikes. ;o)

Beyond a greasy film on the glass, heat, moisture condensation and grease will degrade and discolor the paper the print is on over time. So, if it's a piece you want to preserve, you might want to rethink putting it so close to your stove top. But cute apt! Like the molded Eames chairs!
