And.. immediately as soon as you see the arch in the bedroom you know it's Barcelona. Other than the extreme "narrowness". it's pretty cool for a small dwelling. The two level thing always seems to be the solution to lack of floor space..

Very Nice! And Barcelona is so incredible that you just come home late at night!

I love the simplicity of space & I think they did a great job with the design! Very cozy, but very well thought out. If I didn't have two little ones, this would work just fine for my husband and I. Great job!!

They did a great job with this apt. I think better then the ones where you have to put your bed away and take it out every day, always moving things to get to what you need, this place is definitely more livable. And it’s in Spain!! What a beautiful country! ❤️🇪🇸❤️

I like how they save the unwanted items and turn them usable again, those stuffs actually fits the style of their home, this is smart and have awareness of the environment.

This is really amazing. So bright for an underground apartment and I can't believe how cheap it was to renovate. Wow, they did really well...

Small spaces makes you think smarter. I love what they have done.

This is at least way better than the boxes in NYC.

Chicago has MAD ARCHITECTURE... Great apt.

I would totally live there! Sure it's small but it's functional: there is just enough room for everything and every room is clearly defined. Of course I wouldn't live here if I had kids but for a single person or a couple, it's perfect!

$5K to remodel this delightful little cave! I love Barcelona, threaten to move there at times, and that airline metal cabinet is way cool! Love such innovation.

It looks pretty damn roomy for only 325 square feet.

This couple is amazingly creative, industrious, with "out of the box" thinking. I appreciate their innovation and use of upcycled materials in a functional and eclectic way. I am inspired!

You MADAM know how to make a house into a HOME. Both you are your husband are lucky!! You are a true inspiration..God Bless you both

This apartment is plenty big enough for two people. Can even get some privacy with one upstairs, one downstairs.

Aren't you the cleverest people in the world! I love it!

Your home is beautiful and ingenuity unmatched.

Very well done apartment. Love the staircase design and the bed/seat idea. Love the style of it too. Very efficient use of space.

I totally agree with you. That's crafty, she's recycling & the message as to being in the moment & not accumulate things you don't need! I think that would be cool to live in a place like that for a little bit. Maybe not permanently, but for the experience, maybe abroad! Awesome!

Great place..... Love the bathroom and using found items

I am born and raised in Barcelona!! ( living in the US ) I recognized the street so quick lol( barrio Gótico )

I loved the galley storage units turned into bed side cabinets!

It seems so stark and cold. I have scene so many small apartments that feel rich and cozy this would drive me nuts

Great great job! The colors, the textures everything. I think she is so right when saying the the small space prevents you from accumulating all the usual junk you don't need.

It looks nice and cosy but probably it's quite dark and there is a lot of humidity. I've spotted 2 humidity machines in the house

i’m LOVING this woman’s outfit!

I luv it, very modern. My mother worked maintenance at nasa & they would throw away foam. It came in computer boxes. We recovered several pieces for our lawn furniture. You need some mirrors or art for a warmer look. The kitchen is awesome.

Thanks for posting this video, it just goes to prove how dumb I am when I think to myself that my house (which is 3 times bigger then her's) isn't big enough. Like many North Americans I'm just lazy and don't work hard enough to use the space I have efficiently. Thanks for the wake-up call.

I downsized 4 yrs ago to 1400 sqf home and have only one child. Always complaining I don't have enough room or storage. My garage has become packed with unnecessary items we purchase. My other room is packed with things still in bags. Seeing this vifeo makes me feel ashamed of how I live and what a blessing it is to live a simpler life.

such a beautifully designed micro apartment. and using things for free is amazing , as they totally fit in with the apartment.

If i could find a place like this, I definitely would treasure it. Small spaces are cool. I like her bathroom and bedroom the most.

LOVE it! I live on a sailboat and love small spaces that are functional.

Getting a midnight snack must be a blast on that kitchen couch/bed!

so clean and cute,it doesnt matter if its a small or big living space what matters most is as long as your happy with what you have,everything comes perfect..=)

Love this home owner, upbeat & natural. Small space but sufficient =)

It's been seven years but I keep coming back to this video. I imagine covering the exposed brick wall behind the sofa with mirror and lengthen the day bed underneath the stairwell. Oh and if there's no plumbing or anything like that underneath it, it'll be the extra storage This is good vid and apartment

This is a great space! I remember making a coffee table like that but with a wooden cable spool so it was round. It was a great conversation piece and worked wonderfully.

I could do it. By myself. Love the nightstand from the airline!

Thank you for this fascinating playlist, well actually show. I had to reduce myself in the last years, once down to 100sf (with external shared bathroom). I also had pretty big, wide spaces. Each had their own advantages, but I noticed that the wieder spaces resultet in areas that I hardly ever visited and that I tend to clutter the space I don't use daily. So somewhat I like the small places better in the end.

Love the apt...love the ladies laugh even more!!

It looks more like an Air B&B to rent out,rather than a Home , someone live in every day . Not so much personal stuff in there , empty fridge , no clothes... no pictures 🤔

The lower floor is, indeed, a cave, and I'd spend some $$ on a good HVAC system as well as some clever LED lighting that could be left on most of the time. Perhaps a lighted faux window? LEDs don't use much electricity. There is unused wall space that could hold some much-needed storage cabinets and shelves. This isn't the only tiny apartment video that isn't currently being lived in.

I live alone in a two bedroom apartment that by standards in my town is viewed as smallish. But after watching a number of these videos I think now that I could reasonably have 3 or 4 micro appartments built within it. Wow! Who knew!

My favorite part of this was the use of the modified shipping pallet as a coffee table. I also really love the shower. My apartment is a good size but I hate our bathroom because there's no stand-alone shower. I always feel like I'm going to slip and fall when I shower in the bathtub.
