Apartment Therapy is hosting a Small Cool contest with loads of pics of reader’s apartments that are under 850 sq feet. It’s just what I needed for inspiration to start my apartment-revamp/decorating/Craig’s List and IKEA find EXTRAVAGANZA, that officially began yesterday. The opening ceremonies included me with a pile of magazines and books sitting in my apartment and spatting off ideas while Ryan pretended to listen.

Check out the entries here. I think my favorite so far is International #10 Marcus & Mel’s Charming Flat.

Also from Apartment Therapy, the coolest suspended library I’ve ever seen. Even though it’s the only suspended library I’ve ever seen.
