Living Large In The Tiniest Of Places

A bed that grazes the ceiling and a brick wall. A tiny bathroom in which one has to be careful not to bang their knee when sitting or getting up from the toilet. A tiny kitchenette that allows you to shop for food on a daily basis. A home office in which she can write, surf the web and make art too, while files tower before her as the only way to have any storage at all was to indeed go vertical - what else. All that and the tiniest corner of living space there could be - to read and relax - along with the most restrained open space left for exercise and stretching in the morning...!

All in all, a 90-square-foot loft (or "microstudio" as the case may be) that is close to everything you need, career-wise and perhaps culture-wise (it is NYC we are talking about; culture is not synonymous with elegance there! But I am digressing already...) which therefore allows you to pursue your dreams of artistic and creative endeavors all about town! At 700$ a month, which is supposed to be a bargain price there, it is quite the deal - all things considered, that is...

Truth be told, this artistic soul that is willing to live in such a cloistered space in order to make her projects go through is also an expert on making the most out of any available space! She's Felice Cohen (no relation to Leonard - I hope. Light your cigarette elsewhere, you creep! But I am digressing once more...) and she is being hailed as not only a professional organizer but an organizational genius!

And you can all see why right here and now, thanks to FairCompanies.com and YouTube - of course:




It truly is all you need in order to live comfortably: a place to sit, a place to stretch and scratch, a place to eat, a place to read and write, a place to poop and a place to sleep! How many square feet does one really need to do all that anyways, hmm?

Now, one has to remark that she reveals ALSO HAVING office/studio space somewhere else, "downtown" as she puts it... Hmm...

Anyway...


Next: we will explore the charms of living in a hobbit hole, for sure...

Who needs extra closet space, anyways? It's overrated!
