When I feel like I want to send a link to more than one friend, that’s the signal that I should post it to this blog.
I’ve been an avid fan of Kirsten’s meandering search for alternative and quixotic living spaces, and this one especially seemed to reach a new height of poetry and loveliness. It’s beautiful, but also tinged with a kind of sadness that artists in particular might notice.
On the subject of small living spaces...
You are led to believe that you need the big house, with the particular square-age of feet; you are fed words such as roomy, ample and spacious, yet nothing in this economy makes these living spaces any easier to achieve.
It is this that I stumbled upon on my last visit to IKEA, that they managed to fit an entire apartment in under 300 square feet. This is something that interests me. They’re starting to do things like this in Vancouver but still place them downtown, where they are rated at $850/month with cable and internet included. A bit pricey for the $11/hr working stiff.

Which led me to this video from faircompanies.com, about how they took a small apartment in Spain (624 square feet) and added tons of storage and solutions to maximize space.

What can I say, I’m really digging this movement to have smaller spaces, and in Europe they’ve really found a way to do it in a neat and urban posh kind of way. Check out faircompanies, they have a great doc about small houses, tons of incredible ideas, they even have a guy who took a pigeon coop and turned it into the classiest little apartment you’ve ever seen!
For those about to become homeowners, or planning to, there are many ways to have the house you want.

Most designers begin a remodel by choosing what to trash. Petz Scholtus chose what to collect from the trash to be upcycled (recycled for a higher use). When Scholtus bought her Barcelona apartment in 2006 it had no plumbing nor electricity, though it had some choice trash, like the long piece of glass she stopped her construction crew from throwing away. With two sawhorses (recovered from the street) for legs, it became her dining room table. Other furniture was scavenged directly from the street, like a chair she later covered with old newspapers (mostly from Scholtus' native Luxembourg) and her ubiquitous Bidon lamps made from used jerry cans and a CFL lightbulb. Much of the kitchen furniture- the shelves, island and FSC-certified countertop- was bought from IKEA, though the style-making piece are the cabinets constructed from old wine boxes (some of which Scholtus and her partner drank themselves).

After a move to a new city and a trip to IKEA, industrial designer Adrian Candela was overwhelmed by the packing waste stacked in his living room. In need of a nightstand and not wanting to spend any more money (nor contribute to the waste), Candela turned the old boxes into new furniture. His Nit (Catalan for “night”) nightstand is now 8 months old (it was a Christmas gift for his girlfriend) and it is still standing (it’s even had water spilt on it). Inspired by how easy the process was to upcycle his corrugated fiberboard, Candela created a simple step-by-step assembly guide that he has made available for free online so that others too could turn their furniture waste into side tables.
Great use of space here!
