Home Decorating Ideas, Kitchen Designs, Paint Colors - House Beautiful. BC Real Estate, Condo Living Goes Micro. With all this chatter about Vancouver's ballooning housing bubble, tiny condos are picking up big attention.
Richmond developer Tien Sher hopes to ride the trend by building smaller, denser, multi-use units. Sher's Balance project is one example of micro-living with condo units coming in at just 290 square feet. The Surrey four-storey wood frame building has plans for 56 micro-lofts. The development still requires city approval. If all goes according to plan, it will break ground in 2013, with suites starting at $109,000. "Real estate prices in the Lower Mainland are among the richest in North America," said Charan Sethi, president of Tien Sher in a news release this week. Micro-loft living in the Lower Mainland is not new; many developers are hoping to lure first-time home buyers with lower purchase points. Earlier this year, Reliance Properties Ltd. renovated a historic building in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside and created 30 units of "the newest innovation in modest downtown living.

I can’t think of a better or more obvious way to pack teabags than this hanger & T-shirt design. It’s a funny take on how the simple motion of hanging a used teabag on the rim of your cup, be done. Color-coded for different varieties, the hangers are rather cute and so are the tea-shirts! Designer: Soon Mo Kang. Pop-Up Popcorn.
