A broadsheet’s Beautiful Homes column had lately informed her that a little imagination and a small amount of cash could transform even the tiniest apartment into a compact, space-efficient dream-dwelling. Unfortunately, that “small amount” was large enough that if she’d laid her hands on it, she’d have moved somewhere bigger instead.

Yeah, all tiny apartments are like that. You can make them super cool, but the investment is usually not worth it, as if you have the money, you can simply buy a more spacious space.
