We are always interested in seeing how city-dwellers work with tiny kitchen spaces. Perhaps the reigning champion of tiny kitchen spaces belongs to Jack, an artist and musician who lives in a 10x16 Manhattan apartment. See more of Jack's kitchen and some of the things we noticed about it, below...

• Jack's whole apartment is only 10x16 - our dorm room was bigger than that! The kitchen is immediately to your right as you walk in the door.

• Kitchen storage and pull-out table under the sink.

• Shelves with books and cool jars - we like these colorful plastic canisters.

• Jack chooses even his silverware very carefully - there is a place for every single thing in this apartment.

• A little cupcake! And a vintage Chemex coffee maker - small footprint and great coffee.

• His limited and curated cabinet of foodstuff - see the Perfex pepper grinder! This heavy, solid little mill is one of our favorite kitchen objects.

• More food.

• The sink becomes a dining area with a cutting board and stool.

• Note the steel-cut oats - two cans!

• Two small burners.

• The whole kitchen/library.

Just...wow.

I'm impressed that he has limited storage and chooses to have both bourbon and whiskey on hand in full-size bottles. Priorities! :)

I want to know where he got the world's teeny-tiniest blender! (And it looks like it's even a Waring.)

Making the best of it thats for sure, but minimalism can be more elegant than that. Books over the stove? Needs Polish.

actually, i rather appreciate that he's minimal but not too "polished". not all of us are "polished" people. also, i love his random art E above his bed. it looks livable, casual, and not overdone. someone should tell him to move to brooklyn though, where he can get 2 - 3x the space for the same price. manhattan, i've learned, is really not worth living so cramped!
