Apartment Therapy's Small Cool 2010 Winner!

The grand prize winner of Apartment Therapy's Small Cool 2010 is one of Houston's own. Chris Nguyen's Montrose area 450 sq. foot home was recently crowned the winner of Apartment Therapy's sixth annual contest for the "smallest, coolest" homes. There were over 500 submissions and from those 500, 165 were featured and voted on by Apartment Therapy readers. He really did an amazing job! Sometimes while looking at the pictures of his home, I forgot I was looking at a space that's only 450 sq. feet! Chris's win was also mentioned in the Houston Chronicle. Here are pictures of Chris's award winning space. Enjoy!

 He found the couch on Craigslist!

I love how simple the kitchen/dining area is. Notice the rack he has hanging above the counter to hold kitchen utensils. Great idea if you have limited drawer space.

The Louis Ghost Chair helps reduce visual clutter.

The screen does double duty as a projector screen and a room divider.
