Have You Downsized Your Living Space??

Hello to everyone, hope you all had a wonderful Holiday weekend! I'm realizing that the day is quickly approaching when photographer, Janis Nicolay will be in town to shoot our apartment & I'm so PSYCHED to show you what I've done with it so far!  Of course like many of you, I find myself making a little inspiration folder on my desktop & putting all the images that INSPIRE me throughout my decorating quest! Below are some images that are currently inspiring me!
 

For those of you who don't know, we downsized from this 3,000 sq. ft house in Las Vegas to a 1000 sq. ft apartment in New York City. Yup, BIG difference. 


In the process, I HAD TO SELL most of my furniture because where the heck would I put it!?! I had 3 bedrooms & four bathrooms in our other home, which means, every bathroom had it's own accessories & every room had its own furniture. 


So, I had to choose which items would come with us & basically sell everything else off. When it came down to it, we condensed it all to ONE bedroom + office & one bathroom.

I'll tell you one thing, this one bathroom thing.... my guy absolutely HATES it!!! Well, then again so do I. But we're in Manhattan & coming across an extra bathroom comes at a price, a much HIGHER price. Some of you may already know this....

For now, we'll make due with what we have & just be grateful we have a roof over our heads, and not a bad one at that! Can't wait to show you!

Have you given up your LARGE suburban space for a smaller place in the city?!? What do you hate & love about the change??
