For those who love the idea of living frugally without sacrificing on style, check out this article in today's NY Times House & Home section: Living in Dust: Gut Renovation on the Cheap. With a little luck, a lot of DIY know-how, and a high tolerance for spending time in the midst of a dusty construction site, one man managed to buy a 400 square foot studio and turn it into a lovely home.

That is extremely motivating! I reckon the custom kitchen top is the best hint that I've heard for a fair while...
I like what NYC has to offer but the tiny apts + no cars is going to drive me to the 'burbs when I'm done with my studies...
I saw this article, and I was very impressed by his handiwork.
I'm also amazed at the idea of 2 people living on 400 sq feet. But then, I live in the desert southwest, were land isn't at quite the same premium.
My husband and I lost a bid on a 385 1 bedroom. I was actually really disappointed because I wanted to do a green remodel on the kitchen.
That was 385 sq ft.
