I'm particularly fascinated by the intriguing placement of the bushes/trees in the windows of Aharoni's small apartment. Are they real?

I lived in a cabinet once. A loft bed made a big difference. It added living space underneath it.

Wait, this is a good thing? I thought being charged $2000 for what is and always shall be a tenement slum was wrong? Oh wait it is still, thats right.

- use glass (reeded or clear) cabinet doors in kitchen - use glass paneled refrigerator - push toe-kick under kitchen cabinets back 3-5 more inches - don't install any cabinetry totally to the ceiling, leave a 4-5 inch reveal - use mobile furniture (on wheels if possible) to help recreate the space when needed - run the flooring perpendicular to the long direction of the space - increase ceiling height to maximum if at all possible. - keep clutter and junk to a miminum, make every storage space count
