I recently moved into a new studio apartment and, to put it lightly, I am a little cramped. With just a kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and small living room, I often feel as if I barely have enough room to breathe. While the view from my sixth story window affords me some idyllic sunsets, the limited space has hampered my ability to pursue one of my passions: art.

Before I moved to my new place, I had an entire room that was devoted to my work. Now I barely have enough space to turn around in the kitchen. Although it has taken a good amount of getting used to, I am beginning to adapt. Recently I purchased a small table top easel that I can setup on the kitchen table; this allows me to get a lot of my work done at home without taking up my coveted floor space.
