I just found this article about a tiny apartment in Stockholm: 11 square meters!! It is of course in Swedish, but I think you all can appreciate the photos:

The bathroom is apparently what is called a "Stockholm shower". No, nothing to do with Stockholm syndrome... it is quite simply a very small space with a toilet, a sink... and then the entire space is also used as a shower. I had a "bathroom" like that in Copenhagen, it is a bit messy at first but you get used to it, and with good floor heating it dries up in minutes.

Wow, that's impressive! I'm assuming the table is some sort of pullout one? It looks like a desk in the first photo and then a decent dining table later. I love the way they took photos of what's inside the wardrobe! Very cool, if a bit claustrophobic for me...

It is a folding table, yes.
I actually tried google translate on parts of the text, and it gives quite a good translation of the Swedish text, if anyone is interested.

My daughter and I loved these pictures! We are addicted to stories about small apartments and houses. The desk/table is great. Are those drawers going up the left hand side? And the cutest itty bitty fireplace.

I really like this... it's interesting that we normally see men in these "small space" articles. Unlike some of the other spaces she's decorated, has a good kitchen workspace, and can have a decent dinner party. Nice.

it's lovely. I could happily live in that space if I were single.

The translation did mention that she hosted a dinner party of eight! Also, it only takes 4 minutes to clean house. :-)

Wow, I could do it for awile anyway. I had a good chuckle over the ax hanging on the coaat hook! Love the use of vertical space.

Although I have trouble sleeping in a loft with a ladder. Too perilous when I'm sleepy.Posted 7 months ago # -

I think I'd need a safety harness on the ladder to the bed! But we had 'Stockholm showers' in lots of small hotels on a holiday in Norway, I liked them, there was no bumping elbows on too small a shower enclosure or avoiding a shower curtain that wants to stick to you. The heated floors were brilliant.

Here's an example of a Stocholm shower: http://www.byggahus.se/vbimage.php?id=7073 The shower itself is mounted over the sink so the only floorspace IS your shower area. :)
They actually come from the fact that the older apartments in Sthlm were without running water... So when toilets and showers were put in you would have to make one of your closets into a bathroom. Hence the size.

Small spaces can convey the same feeling of comfort and modern design as a large house, provided that the interior decoration suits the space and enhances its unique shape. This next condo is located on the top floor of an apartment building in the Kungsholmen neighbourhood of Stockholm, Sweden. Overlooking the Kronoberg Park – which can be enjoyed from the spacious balcony that receives sun all day – the condominium just had the kitchen and bathroom remodelled. Situated close to restaurants, cafes and shops, the apartment features parquet floors in the hallway and the living room. The small space had to be used to its full potential, so the room was divided in a smart way, placing the kitchen in an alcove and the dining space right next to it. The kitchen is equipped with ceramic hobs, an oven, dishwasher and fridge and was well planned, offering both storage areas and working surfaces. Although it is very small, this apartment is the essence of urbanization, forcing people to come up with smart solutions for small spaces.

Um... what?!? Do we have a new - and somewhat odd - spammer on board?

@candy Sie's written wacky stuff on the "Storing spiral notebooks" thread, too.
If I weren't spending all day there, I think it could be quite comfortable -- but as we both work from home (when we have work), we might get a bit twitchy.
