You haven't seen small until you've lived in a NYC studio. And hosted Thanksgiving in it.

You are right!

[@NJ-jj2hw]

right! also alot of people have to live in small spaces cause they cant afford a big space, im not going to move into a small space to reno it into a bigger space if i cant afford a bigger space.

[@kayleighjuliana]

You know it's not a small space when they show homes with a piano room 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@jonathanwall8074]

Natalie's church conversion was amazing! Emilia Wisniewski did a fantastic job with that condo kitchen! Love the concept Brett Vansickle had with a larger kitchen(which is where everyone wants to be) and a smaller bedroom(because that's here you sleep)

Small space ideas: proceeds to show a big converted barn that could fit my apartment in the living room.

[@edwinfndz]

Loved these tips and can tell I am adicted to H&H because I have watched all these videos 🤭

[@pd4887]

I’m actually a little annoyed that they call a regular house small, just because you worked for ppl who are considered rich and have huuuge houses, doesn’t make average house small. It just sounds snooty.

[@sergioliberates]

It is all relative. Clam down.

[@printmeacoupon7974]

White, white, white… I need all color in my life!

[@creativelife9871]

I remember watching the episode of the tour of the house with the yellow bathroom floor and thinking sunrise-y as it is, it looks like a pool of pee. 😩🤣

[@miranda4042]

I had the exact same thought. What were they thinking? Pee coulored floor in a bathroom? Made me feel a little sick. 🤢

[@creativelife9871]

@@miranda4042 lol!! It really did. I can only imagine people’s apprehension with using it.

[@conniepleasantnails]

These were some of my favs too especially the first one. If I remember he did a lot of the work himself & that outdoor kitchen was awesome

I’ve looked at repeated videos of that barn conversion and I think it is one of my all time favorites!!

[@susanadevayya7130]

Omg! These are not small places, love this channel but come on what are you guys talking about?

[@JijjysMaison]

My home is much smaller than these 😁 but I definitely got some brilliant ideas for storage and how to make a home feel spacious. Like not over decorating. Avoiding clatter. I love to collect vintage or any antiques I am lucky to find. So you can imagine. 😀

[@butterflysun]

Love the yellow floor, my favorite color!!!💥🌻🌞

[@kitmaclean3778]

Ok I saw 1 small(ish) space

Love all of these. The power of a lense helps us to see the big picture in a small space. ❤️🙏🏽

Vaulted ceiling, huge kitchen island, walk-in closet, luxury fireplace, bright windows ......... love them all 😘

Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to you designing a 40-70 sq floor area n I believe you can decorate it with taste.

[@beverlytaylor1745]

I live in a 288 sq. ft. studio. Please make a video of truly small spaces.

[@UnseenSpirit]

It's normal sized to large for nsot nations. However some of the ID's work in multi million dollar homes so their large is truly large.

Now, let's see some actual small spaces.

[@paulajf4205]

That first space, the barn, is one of my all time favs. The least fav is the powder room in the kitchen. It never ceases to amaze me how designers embrace powder rooms off of the kitchen, and this one was basically in. the kitchen. It's disgusting for obvious reasons.

It's now November, 2021, and there are dozens of comments echoing the same sentiment...... *_none of these spaces were small._* _House and Home_ keeps responding with bromides like: _"It's relative"; "Not small for Canada"_ and so on. Nope. Unacceptable responses and, well, just wrong. The price of real estate in Canada has become obscene, unless you're living in the middle of nowhere in one of the Provinces nobody wants to live in. Therefore, condominiums are becoming smaller and smaller....and smaller. _(New _*_houses,_*_ on the other hand, seem to be impossible to buy under ~2300 sq.ft. This, I don't understand, but irrelevant to the majority of people who can't afford a $2,000,000+ mortgage.)_ While the ideas offered were good ones, virtually none of the examples showed how these ideas would actually work (wait for it) *IN A SMALL SPACE.*

[@yushikuang7877]

In my family (asian) if you can not host a family for 35 people...it’s small. I mean confortably and not sitting on each other or in the stairs. So space is relative and depends where you live. My house is consider small ...so i only host summer bbq in my garden.

[@UnseenSpirit]

LG is a brand I am boycotting. They did not repair my wife's LG G4 phone that was boot looping. The motherboard had a very well known fault (thousands of replies in threads). Samsung all the way!

[@gailgreene6447]

Small? Titled incorrectly.

[@franceswhiston2572]

I too am disappointed with this episode. Only a couple of the spaces were what I consider small.

[@SP-ow9jl]

Small? I wonder what is big?

I stayed just to see the 'urine' colored bathroom floor. And it wasnt bad!

An island with 8 barstools is hardly small! Square footage would be helpful.

Please consider what is small for average people. The Content is nice but I personally felt irritated almost every time I heard "small".

[@gaslitworldf.melissab2897]

I don't discriminate against white walls, but I'm tired of the mantra pop of color as if painting with color is some kind of faux pas. Do today's designers have zero connection with the history of design? Do t hey ever read Architectural Digest (AD)? They're just too narrow minded about design.
