Happily Ever After: Tiny Transforming Apartment

Today's blog post will look a bit different from my usual posts, I know. But I think this is so share-worthy, I just had to reconsider my Friday post and present this incredibly smart and tiny New York City apartment, that transforms itself into eight rooms thanks to smart architecture and interior design. It is obviously a bachelor pad (you can see the cool guy who lives in there), so don't expect too much of decoration or colourful knickknacks (but expect a lot of tech gadgets). The owner designed the apartment with two architecture students from Romania and explains his inspirations for this cool home. Expect one surprise after the other while you will be guided through this small apartment that has numerous hidden treasures.

I am very curious to hear your opinions! What do you think of this smart apartment? Is this a cool solution for the rising number of single households in cities? Would you move into such an apartment if you lived alone? Tell me!

From Place To Space: New York City

After a few stops in good old Europe, I want to jump with you over the 'big pond' and take you to the navel of the modern world - to ever attractive, glamorous and fabulous New York City. 

I can imagine that most of you have experienced the magic of the 'Big Apple' and fell in love just as I did. The incredible architecture, the vibrant life, the credit card devouring shops, the incredible restaurants, and the never ending inspirations - a trip to NYC leaves a life-time mark to every visitor.

I enjoyed every bit of Manhattan and Brooklyn on a sunny and warm September and went back to Europe with a too heavy suitcase and lots of ideas and inspirations. 

When it comes to interior design, New York City is yet another benchmark for the industry. Amazing interiors ranging from small spaces to grand townhouses set the mark for a stylish and modern urban living. Countless renowned interior designers live and work in NYC and many, many books have been written and illustrated with stunning NYC interiors. Here is just a little taste of what the city that never sleeps has to offer. 

One little place I'd like to recommend: The super cute little café-bakery Kitchenette in Tribeca. That's the place where I had a yummy breakfast and got that sweet Big Apple cookie. Enjoy!
