Live life king size in a kitty !!!

The attitude is just to " Love living small ". Here small is not mediocre or compromised that i wish to convey but its making the best out of the available space with that tinge of difference or just an unconventional perspective. It may be designing or planning " Out of the box" , when you could be actually living in one. Few square inches of your valuable real estate piece can actually reflect your entire personality and its shine, and trust me that is all it takes. I wish to just call it an " Apartment Therapy". Most of it is simple DIY's ( I mean Do It Yourself). It could be anything right from setting up coziness in a  forgotten corner, intelligent camouflage of hopeless but required junk, reused boxes bottles cans and so on to create storage units or uncanny curios that can again hold the not so cute collectibles and stuff that men seem to love being seen strewn here and there.

The clock is ticking, the little one is reluctant to wake up to go to school, needs cajoling, refuses milk etc etc. Father in law back after his morning walk and mother in law trying her level best to balance everything under the roof right from the kitchen to the kins. Husband’s trying his level best to try to be of some help but corporate issues like a missing towel and papers render the required sugar and spice to the already eventful morning.
