Here's a book featuring tiny European apartments. All of them have uniquely wonderful architectural details: high ceilings, exposed brick, hardwood floors, amazing hilltop views. If one had a lot of cash to splash around, this book shows that yes, it's possible to completely gut and renovate a less than 600 sq. foot apartment and make it look like a mansion with high end furnishings. Interestingly, many of the apartments prominently feature tvs, along with spare, modern furniture. Not the most helpful resource for your average Joe (or Jane) who simply wants to cheaply make a tiny place cozy.

A book for renters with moolah, like Sex in the City-moolah. And renters who have permission to mess with the architecture of their living spaces. Useless for renters with little wages. Pretty pictures.
