Maximizing Design in A Small Space

Ellie Somerville, associate market editor for Lonny (my favorite magazine and design source), recently moved in with her boyfriend, and their new New York apartment was featured yesterday on the magazine's blog. As a fellow twenty-something cohabitator and Manhattanite, I understand the challenges of blending both styles and possessions and, most challengingly, working in petite spaces. I think the space that Ellie created is quite cute and very chic, especially in such a small place! I'm particularly lusting after that Cole & Son's Palm Leaves wallpaper...
