Think 80 sq ft is Too Small? Watch This Woman Prove You Wrong with Her NYC Apartment Transformation

One of the challenges Lena faced was the kitchen—or rather, the lack of one. With no oven and limited shelving space, Lena had to get creative with her cooking habits. She cooks sometimes, but her preference is for fresh meals, keeping food prep light and easy. Despite the challenges, she’s made the most of her modest kitchenette by cleverly storing cleaning supplies and other essentials in every nook and cranny.

The living room area, if you can call it that, is more like an extension of the kitchen. Lena’s couch practically touches the sink, but that hasn’t stopped her from creating a comfortable lounging space. A few personal touches, like postcards and fashion editorials, remind you that this space reflects her life in the city, and her career in fashion. Check out her bedroom on the next page.
