Small Space, Big Style : Episode HSSBS-202 -- More Projects »
What can you do with a tiny space? Anything you can do with a big one—if you're willing to suspend your disbelief. Rooms without walls, reclaimed objects recycled into art and historic charm in a space-defying package are yours for the viewing. Do try this at home!

Room With a View
Homeowner Michelle Cottrell knew it was risky to buy a small loft with no walls, but the view of the water lured her in. A designer by trade, she knew focusing on the loft's view and incorporating clever space-defining tricks would draw attention away from the lack of walls. It works: Cottrell loves her home as a place for privacy and for entertaining.

Secret Storage
Next: Island Paradise
This coffee table has a deep secret: a hidden storage area toward the back. The drawers in front give plenty of space to tuck away usable items. Hiding everything in drawers and cabinets makes a room feel clean and neat—and spacious.
