    I always watch, but never comment. This is the first design I've seen that I would make zero changes to. It airy, light, beautiful, and functional for the majority, rather than the few ultra minimalists. Well done.

    This is a great wood project book ruclips.net/user/postUgkxkPIWb22DigCqxmlXerCyUF4HCl6eSU2L . Most of the projects use the pallet simply as a source of reclaimed wood not as a recognizable pallet so even if you didn't have a pallet you could make these projects with any reclaimed (or even new) wood. The instructions are excellent. The style is charming and would work with lots of different decor. There are quite a number of projects that involve tiling of teh wood pieces which is a really cool idea and can produce beautiful pieces when working with aged wood.

    This Polish architect's cozy Scandi-style apartment is a testament to the art of minimalism and functionality. From the clean lines to the neutral color palette, every detail reflects the timeless elegance of Scandinavian design. The clever use of space-saving solutions and multifunctional furniture creates a sense of openness, despite the modest square footage. Natural light floods the space, accentuating the warmth of wooden accents and adding to the inviting atmosphere. It's a perfect blend of simplicity and comfort, showcasing how thoughtful design can transform even the smallest spaces into stylish sanctuaries.

    this is a great example of how the layout (or floorplan) helps to make a small place very live-able. my in-laws have a 2,600-sq ft. house (in Orange County, CA) with the hallway and bedrooms all clustered together in a way that when you have even just 2 people moving through it, you feel totally cramped and crowded. the relationship of the area to the layout is way more important than simply having "more" or "bigger."
    *i'm sure people watching this video already know this, but it's those who believe only "bigger is better" that don't understand that concept.
