Living in 300 square feet

I’m always inspired by someone who can live in a little space — and live well.

Mary Lee has planned her studio apartment to get maxium style in minimum space, using bright neutrals and mirrored surfaces to keep everything bright.

And this studio apartment is really a studio — she works there, too!

Check out the home tour at Apartment Therapy, find inspiration for your home.  I found it in the brightness, and what Mary Lee says about keeping her belongings to a minimum, too.

Buy things that have a purpose in your life. If it is not functional or doesn’t evoke a valuable emotion, like inspiration or nostalgia, then it’s not necessary. Don’t clutter your space with stuff, supply it with purpose. Don’t think of it so much as decorating but more of curating a collection over time that best tells the story of you.
