Having previously lived in New York City twice, I understand the challenges of limited space, storage and the need to be REALLY creative so not to waste a single square foot.  Check out this smart design in a 500 sq foot NY apartment!  Click here to read the story on Tree Hugger.  I mean, they even used each step on the staircase for drawers!  I just LOVE smart and efficient design!

Maybe it will get your creative juices flowing on how to be more efficient with your space, no matter how big or small.
