It must be kitchen renovation season. We’re gotten a few reader submissions of their kitchens in the past week so I thought I’d blog them all today. It’s kitchen Tuesday folks!

Welcome to Paul’s teeny tiny New York kitchen! He worked some magic on the space, transforming it from REALLY awful to funky and modern for just $285!! (He’s got the breakdown of costs on his blog). I had to poke fun in my response to his email, saying no one cooks in NY anyway (doesn’t everyone use their stoves to stash off season clothes?), but he claims he cooks in his kitchen often. And I bet he’ll be cooking even more now that it’s not such an eye sore. Great job Paul!!

… with a massive price tag. Ouch Australian house prices are crazy. Pinch its cheeks so cute Clifton Hill cottage for auction. Link here while it lasts.

Elizabeth lives in a 350 square-foot apartment in the lower east side of Manhattan. YES, it’s that small! However she and her boyfriend have managed to make it look cute, inviting and cozy! And best of all they are very happy in their small home. To find out more about why they live in such a tiny space you can head to her blog In Between Seams. Could you do it? Even with the pay off of living in Manhattan?

I have a thing for modular housing. Pavilions, kits, pods. Love ’em. Small spaces that alone or in combination allow you to configure your dream layout in confined spaces or the big wide yonder. Small footprints. Small impact. Small spaces just right for big ideas. This cutie is from kitHAUS and if you click over to their site you can enter their competition to hatch your next big idea staying in this kitHAUS at Arroyo Grande, CA. Look at that view!

It’s a tiny house with Grand Designs. This itsy bitsy 5 level Surrey Hill’s house is the creation of Woods Baggot principal Domenic Alvaro. Domenic and his partner Sue Bassett could not afford the price tag of a house in this trendy inner Sydney suburb. What they could afford was a carpark. So this is what they did. Bought a 3 car space and built up and up and up. Featured on Australia’s LifeStyle Channel as part of their Grand Designs series you’ll find so much more on their website. Befores, afters and video walk throughs as well as more clever Aussie homes. Clever design solution! Stunning views! To die for roof top garden! The steps would keep you fit!
