The world around us

Now that I have a source of inspiration as well as guide, I am quite looking forward to making some changes in the apartment. One of the things I am tempted to change is the kitchen sink, since our current one is really tiny. Then again I’ve seen some really tiny but great kitchen sinks that create a wonderful space, but still manage to make it effective. It all depends on how you decorate it I guess. Apart from the sink, I also need to work on creating a pantry area, for which I have the space, but just need to buy a rack of some sort.

I spent the better part of the day yesterday looking through the Smallest Coolest Apartment 2007 contest at Apartment Therapy. I discovered this site just a couple of weeks back and am completely hooked. I love being able to see what others are doing with their apartments, especially making small apartments more livable by using innovative methods of storage and lifestyle. I’ve barely gone though half the list of the entries and can’t wait to see them all. I’ve got lots of great ideas already and hope to be able to implement them effectively in my own apartment. The areas where I really need to work on are the kitchen, bath and entry way, so I’m looking mostly at these areas.
