Our 470 square foot apartment is where Gwyneth and I learned that changing your environment can change your outlook. When we first moved, Gwyneth and I didn’t think we’d ever learn to love NYC. But we were on a mission to love our tiny piece of it. Through Dumpster Diving, painting the walls and making the apartment ours, New York City became the place we loved to call home.

Carla, we are so delighted that you found us! And as for it looking huge – that must be the home equivalent of the camera adding 10 pounds! It’s tiny!
