University doors are opening nationwide: are you ready? Small spaces are in need of smart solutions, and we have a a few!
We went to college, shared rooms, and now have kids who share rooms. So we know space is a premium and we need to be smart on how we use it! One Airbnb I stayed in Hong Kong, I asked, "Where's the sink?" in the bathroom. And my host replies, "Its behind the door," and in that 3" gap there was the tiniest little sink just big enough to wash my hands. (Hong Kong knows how to maximize space!) So we're taking notes and suggestions for some clever space saving solutions. Enjoy!
