    Social: / baileyheldmar
    Location: Upper West Side, New York, NY
    Type of Home: Studio apartment
    Size: 200 square feet (18 square meters)
    Rent: $1775/month
    Years lived in: 1 year, renting
    *Fun Fact: Meg Ryan used to live in this same building very early in her career.
    Bailey's 200 sq ft apartment on New York's Upper West Side is a small space gem. Inspired by thrifted finds and family heirlooms, this tiny studio perfectly embodies that warm, lived-in charm. "My unit is on a low floor and doesn’t get a lot of light," says Bailey, "so I sometimes call it my ‘cave.’ I leaned into it and made a cozy, warm retreat from the hustle of NYC." We absolutely love the personal touches and hidden storage solutions throughout, making Bailey's home both functional and sentimental.

    Honestly so impressed by how much charm and personality she’s managed to fit into this little space. So many smart choices, like the round dining table, the storage sofa, and the huge mirror on the dresser.

      She's done such a good job of decorating and arranging her furniture that even with only one window, the dark brick wall, the dark wood furniture, and the large armoire, the apartment doesn't look overcrowded and dark. It looks so homey and comfortable...it's the only one-room (aside from kitchen) apartment I've ever seen that I could see myself living in and being happy in.

    How preciously she designed her tiny apartment. I can tell in her eyes how she misses her mom & I can feel she’s made her mom proud. The way she utilized every space, so smart. Love how she put the books in the fireplace & up on the shelf. Cool chair ladder &the way she hung up the shoes in the Armoire so clever! Her great grandmother’s chair in the corner oh my God I love that looks so cozy! What a lovely young lady.

    Wow! It's absolutely amazing how she pulled everything together so perfectly. Her space, although small, gave me the impression that I was looking at just one room in a large victorian home. And to have found the picture that her mom had drawn was the icing on the cake. Loved it!💖💖💖

    What a beautiful space and that brick wall, too. She has such a good eye and I love what she did with the books. The family items were so neat -- love the back stories behind things. She seems like such a sweet person and I wanted to hug her when she was talking about her mom, who she lost young.

    Love the antique furniture and plants against the brick wall! So glad nobody painted it! Looks comfy and cozy without being too cluttered. I also like hanging stuff on kitchen walls. Glad you didn't let movers talk you into moving the bookshelf. The kitchen isn't large enough for two anyway. TFS

    This was pretty cute and interesting. One of the things I have noticed about small living is the priority each individual has. For example....the armoir of shoes. That wouldn't be my priority for space, but I also think it is important to do what works best for you! ❤️

      More horrifying: that’s actually cheap for the Upper West Side. It’s a very expensive neighborhood. Most of the city is now. The building is probably not that great, no doorman to receive packages, possibly no laundry in the building either, dirty and old.

    I love this spot. It's really well designed and the furniture and nick nacks are so complimentary to the design.

    Bailey, you’ve done an awesome job being creative with limited space. It is so warm, beautiful, charming and cozy. So well thought out and inviting. It’s about the size of my bedroom, but looks twice the size! I’m sure your mother would be very proud.
