Small Spaces BIG Ideas

Back when I lived in NYC, home was a tiny one bedroom apartment in a charming 6 story walk-up on the Upper West Side. It was huge in comparison to most of my friends' apartments- the fact that I had no flatmates and a bedroom at all was stellar to NYC standards. I loved every inch of that 650 square foot apartment no matter how challenging the decorating was. I was living on my own for the first time after college, so I did everything in my power to make it my own, combining modern design with my love for quirky vintage pieces that I had collected throughout the years. This dining table set from IKEA would have been PERFECT back then. Cute, compact, modern yet retro at the same time and cleverly named FUSION. I love the dark color and the grain of the table and if your living quarters is space-challenged, this is the perfect solution for dining in style. The chairs are perfectly shaped to fit each corner of the table when pushed in which is incredibly space-saving. Add some fun colorful seat cushions to add your own personal flair and VOILA! You've got the perfect little dining table for intimate dinner soirees! And best of all, the entire ensemble is less than 300 bucks!
