Apartment Therapy's Big Book of Small, Cool Spaces by Maxwell Ryan

4.0

---

I want to live in this book. What is the great appeal of loft beds and walk-in closet offices and tiny nook nurseries? I think it goes back to loving to build forts. Coziness also forces you to have only the necessities, and to arrange them in a pleasing way, which also appeals to me.

Whoever photographed this book faced a challenge and met it admirably.

Ideas:

p. 86 contact paper stencil on cabinet doors

p. 130 mount an antique fireplace mantel against a wall (no actual fireplace necessary)

p. 142 - The elevated cube bedroom

p. 152 - The four-poster bedroom
