The international winner is truly my favorite, but of the four US finalists, I like the layout of Adam's. Not crazy about his decor, but I wasn't crazy about the others either. I thought his was too cluttered or something, and the others seemed kind of cold to me.

[bunnymendelbaum]

I like the first one just because 340sf is SO hard! Especially in NYC where it is hard to find cheap decor and haul it around. The style is sort of bland though.
Adam's 930sf for one person doesn't really seem that difficult and it seed cluttered.

I knew this was going on, but hadn't been over to check it out. Glad you linked!

I love the tiny NYC one. I like the sophistication of it, but the tone was warm and earthy and really appeals to me. Love the murphy bed with mirror. I didn't even realize it was the bed at first so it blends in really well. Was surprised the bedding seemed like a total afterthought, I guess because it's folded up all the time.

The hunting cabin in LA was very charming. I could see enjoying that space.

The other two I really don't care for personally.

Kiera's minus the bathroom. Her style reminds me of my style.

3,2,1,4

Love the color and style in #3 while it isn't something I would do I love how bold it all is.

2&1 are a tie, I love the cozy modern cottage and the fridge is amazing
But I also love the true smallness but completely functional tiny apartment.

I hate 4.

I liked her main living space the best style-wise....I just didn't like the layout.

[sierramist03]

I like the first one best. The last one doesn't seem that small to me.

[ktzmoh]

I like 1 because holy moly that's tiny. And I love that I didn't even realize the big mirror was a Murphy bed. As someone who has the guest bed in with the office, I love the idea of the Murphy bed. but I've always thought they were ugly. This is the first one I've seen that I haven't hated completely.

[heygrey]

oh, the hunting cabin!

i adore that it's a single dwelling and yet it's so tiny. if i could convince h i'd buy something that small here i would. and i'd love it forever. i love the really neutral colour pallet and the mcm (inspired) furniture. totally what i dream of.

[kaylie]

I really like Kiera's best by a long shot. I like her style and the space seems cozy but not too small.

Julia's would be my second choice; I think I would be more into it if I was a minimalist.

The last one (Adam's) kind of grossed me out with all the plants all over the place. Some are growing way too far out of their pots which just seems unsanitary for some reason.

[downtoearth]

I want to like Julia's, but it seems unfinished to me (or maybe just too sterile with all the white and few accessories).

I think I like Garrett's (NY tiny one) the best b/c it seems like he took a pretty plain, tiny apt and made it feel warm and cozy.

I hated 4 as well.

#2, then #1

#3 i dont love or hate

#4 is way too cluttered for my taste

[mrs.jacinthe]

Kiera then Garrett. #2 is ok and I'm in love with her fridge, but it just isn't my style. #4 is too big for one person to be considered a small space, IMO. And I haaaaaate that sofa.

Other than the fact that it isn't a small space for one person, it looks like he never throws anything out.  He has all of his jeans and old clothes made into a couch, ick.

I voted for Garrett's because I thought the use of space was clever and appealing. I love Murphy beds!
