  1. 7 bowl mixing nesting set $30 wow. There is a comparable version at family dollar for $8.
  2. This was so helpful!!!!
  3. the ottoman bed and laundry pod are my favorite items.
  4. This video is advertised as IDEAS for small apartments. The IDEAS still work even if advertised in not so small spaces. You're welcome. 😂
  5. Thanks Siri! (so weird to hear a computer advising on how to arrange furniture ...)
  6. sadly, BECUASE I live in an apt, I can't do most of these, but love the ideas like #24 slide spice racks, or #30 the couch armrack!!
    but thank you for the video and the effort
  7. selling things that are potential fire hazards is not a good idea.
  8. here's a smart idea for when you have a small apartment.
    Only get the bare necessities
  9. Wow! !!!!!!
  10. i like how the video tells u prices
  11. Sheet and curtains to define a space make perfect dust catchers. I'd dread having to take them down to clean them.
  12. I like the idea of separating bedroom or kitchen by long curtains, desk, wood wall & slide doors.
    I love it
    It works for kids bedroom
    Too not just for a studio
  13. Curtain separator for the kitchen is genius!
  14. So... the laundry basket is "for entertainment purposes only", out of stock on Amazon. wtf? This is a pretty sloppy video.
  15. Who has ROOM for an ottoman? When you're that cramped, the coffee table serves as your ottoman (if you have room for THAT too).
    In fact when you're that cramped, you discover NEODYMIUM MAGNETS real fast - you can get boards with magnets embedded in them for wall-mounted knife storage. Magnets this strong let you attach stuff of considerable weight to the sides of all your whitegoods. And if you're broke too, you can dig these things out of old HDD.
  16. 44. Turn your painting sideways so that it's a vertical item & replace the painting with a mirror. Place very thin chocks at the top on the back before mounting so that up close you can see your face & upper body easily but when standing back, you can see your entire body. Mount it opposite the doorway if possible so that you can step backwards into the doorway for a better view - playing with the chocks & your available standing space sorts this out.
    I've done this & it works a charm - the play angle is very small but makes quite a difference.
  17. "Place your sofa against yourbed." That's agreat idea! Most sofa's are bigger than my room (2 * 3 meters) and I need a bed, closet, table, bookcase, bin, storage for bags and season clothes. My room is my sleeping room, study room and living room. No way there is place for even a curtain around my bed.
  18. Most of those ideas show rooms, that are not at all considered "small" in Germany, where I live Those are absolute average! Some of them are rather big compared to what I live in. And that is not a small apartment! So you see how different reception of space is in different countries. My best idea for keeping a "small" space clear: Stop buying and start throwing stuff out. You don't need to stock up for the zombie apocalypse! But: Every furniture you buy makes you walk around it, costs money, needs cleaning and care. Throw stuff out and you may not need the extra piece at all. Start this way around. You don't have to become a minimalist...
  19. How is this not remodeling? Where are the recommendations for us renters? We can't change doors or screw stuff into the walls or ceiling.
  20. Really clear & simple video- good pics, good narration and good links with numbers for speedy location. And no annoying music.
