The spaces showcased in this slick, stylized home decorating video are indeed both small and beautiful. However, a more apt subtitle might be "Small Space and Big Budget Living." This is definitely a video geared toward more upscale homeowners, as all of the spaces featured required extensive renovations in order to achieve their photogenic decor. Readers of House Beautiful magazine may find similarities in that, while the spaces are lovely and imaginative, they would be difficult to re-create in the real world. Useful, space-enhancing tips such as using mirrors, organizing closets, and concealing clutter are overwhelmed by more expensive (and for most of us, impractical) suggestions such as changing the location of a staircase or installing a combination reflecting pool/Jacuzzi in the garden. Still, what this video lacks in practicality, it makes up for in aesthetics. It is interesting to see what designers and architects can achieve within the confines of the small spaces featured, especially in the case of a wonderfully restored vintage Airstream trailer. You may even find yourself inspired by some of the smaller details in the video, such as painting your walls vibrant colors, or organizing your odds and ends into color-coded boxes. --Michelle Riggen
