if you don’t hear from me for a few days.

We are taking a trip to MA for about a week. Seth has his annual “college guy reunion” and they just so happened to be meeting up in MA this time around. Abe the babe and I will hanging out with the in-laws while Seth is off doing boy stuff that I probably don’t want to know about.

As you know, one of my loves is organizing and I especially love designing space solutions for a small area/space. The challenge is to design a space that will maximize the small living area. I think by living in a small space it really forces people to get rid of their clutter as opposed to avoiding it. When you live in a large space it is easier to avoid dealing with the clutter.

I came across an article by Maxwell Gillingham-Ryan in Cookie Magazine. He designs furniture and other storage solution products for small spaces. He used to live in a house that was only 265 sq. feet along with his wife and daughter. Can you even imagine? They eventually moved to an apartment that was a whopping 700 sq. feet! (he prefers small living spaces) He has some really great ideas that I thought I would share. Check out his blog or his newly designed line for baby stuff.

I’m off to go pack…
