Less is the new More:The Nine Month Cure at Apartment Therapy

Design & Architecture (less is more)

apartment%20therapy%20plan.jpgApartment Therapy says that "A calm, healthy, beautiful home is a necessary foundation for happiness and success in the world. Creating this home doesn't require large amounts of money or space." Maxwell and SKGR live in 250 square feet and were expecting a child, so they renovated their apartment and blogged the whole thing on AT. Now it is done- both the apartment and the baby. 250 Square feet never looked so good, so liveable and so treehugger, down to the bamboo kitchen and rope insulation. While 250 SF is tight for a family even by New York standards, it is a model for all of us who want to see smaller, better living spaces that use fewer resources to build and to run. We wish them all the happiness and success in the world in it. Read the whole series here at ::Apartment Therapy

Great article! It made me take a second look at the 2 bedroom, 1/2 bath, 300 square feet that makes up the 2nd story of my house which I use as a business office. It is overdue for an overhaul!
