A little while ago a Japanese magazine came to my apartment to shoot a story on small spaces. We live in a 38 square metre apartment in Shimokitazawa. It's tiny!

(Oops I've bought a lot of extra junk since these apartment shots were taken. And look over here to see how it looked before we moved in! I can't believe it's been almost three years since I moved to Tokyo!)

      Thanks so much Kelli! It's a lovely and bright apartment with huge windows in almost every wall which makes it very pleasant.

      Thanks Jennifer! Yes actually it's super airy here. Yesterday my Japanese teacher was here for a lesson and she commented on how lovely the breeze is here. And I have a confession - the tray of mt tapes is embarrassingly only 5% of my collection! eeep!

    I just found your blog and wow, I'm so amazed by everything you create and decorate! So airy and colorful! I do paper crafting, rubber stamp carving, jewelry making and coincidentally, live pretty close to Shimokita!

    Love your space. So cute and bright. I have the opposite here in my big old Australian home - so large and dark that it is entirely overwhelming. You've brightened my day!
