Now this is a small-space makeover.

In 2002, a Boston woman named Claudia was the owner of a quaint condo inside a lovely brownstone. For all of its charms, however, the home was tiny, measuring only 319 square feet. Claudia showed off her cramped living quarters on an episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show, offering some eye-opening context for exactly how much space she was lacking .

It takes five paces to get from one side of the room to the other, Claudia demonstrated back then. And if you take a little look around, I have exactly four pieces of furniture.

In addition to the small living space, Claudias 6-foot-by-6-foot kitchen was another challenge. Standing in the middle of it, her outstretched arms each touched the cabinets; her bulky-but-essential microwave had to be moved each time she needed to open its door; the oversized appliances couldnt be open at the same time without hitting each other; and the short cabinets couldnt contain much stuff, so Claudia resorted to stacking boxes on top of them, up to the ceiling.

So why buy a condo of this size? Potential, Claudia explained.

I chose this space because it has some of its original features: wide pine floors, high ceilings and lots of light, she said. My two biggest complaints, though? Lack of storage and entertaining. How do I have friends over when theres no place to sit?
