Living Small in the Big City

Back when I was a freshman in high school I would watch Gossip Girl. I loved the glam of living in New York City. I thought to my self "I have to move there and live that life". Well little did I know living that life called for either a really nice trust fund or a sugar daddy. My New York adventure has been nothing like Blair and Serena's. 

My New York is much more charming. I've had the opportunity to live in one of the smallest apartments in the most sought-after neighborhoods, the upper west side. Chris and I have a little slice of heaven steps from central park. We live in a 325 square foot studio. All of our things fit into one closet and 2 dressers. Most of our storage is in the air and we still host guest every once in a while. We have taken all of our space and brought as much charm to every square foot. 

3 tips to living small in the big city...

1. Throw out everything you haven't used in the past 3 months. 

If you haven't used it for the past 3 months you likely won't use it again. You don't have enough room for things you will never use.

2. Take advantage of every square foot. 

Be creative, take the opportunity to make your small space feel like home. 

3. Less is more.

You only have 325 square feet, you don't want to feel cramped or cluttered, be smart about your space. 

living in 325 square feet has taught me so much about my self and my relationship with Chris. It has given me an opportunity to grow closer to Chris and learn more about each other. Living in one room everything is out in the open, there is nothing you can hide. You see the good, bad, and the ugly. Although some days I dream about a one bedroom and a queen bed, I wouldn't have it any other way. I think every newlywed should live in a studio.
