Small Space Big Living

Sprawling living rooms and grand kitchens used to catch my eye in lifestyle magazines and real estate listings, but since the last blog post, small spaces have been on my mind. No one does thoughtful small spaces and places like the Scandinavians do.  They are able to effectively combine form and function, and fuse simplicity and character using very limited square footage.  It’s a lesson on city living without ever compromising comfort and style.  Here are some inspirations that we have been admiring here at Can Sell My Home for this week.  We love the theme of keeping walls white in order to maximize light, while using unique accessories to add contrast and personality.
