Vanessa, a web designer, draws a parallel between organizing her belongings and designing web sites. She finds they both present the same challenge — how to accommodate a lot of stuff into a small amount of space...
When Vanessa looks around her apartment, she translates the objects she sees into web content that has to be organized.
Vanessa lives in this relatively small space with her boyfriend Simon who apparently also shares her joy in organizing. For example, their most recent work in progress has been to inventory all their DVD's and present the results in something akin to a high-end restaurant menu.
For two people to live here, they must be diligent about clutter, hiding the clutter they have, and putting away anything and everything immediately after it is used, looked at, worn, or eaten.
Vanessa clearly excels at creating a beautiful and livable space, with lots of hiding spots.
Years lived in: 1.5
Inspiration: sunlight, nature, old industrial spaces
My/Our style: modern, eclectic, earthy, industrial
