Reader Question from Montreal
Before giving my two cents, I'd like to see what decor8 readers have for advice to Karen up in Montreal. Here's her letter below. Any ideas? Email me or comment below.

Hey Holly,
Maybe you could help me out with some space in my new apartment? I?ll try to draw you a picture and scan it.
The problem:
We have a small entrance. The entrance opens into the living room, which is actually being lived in as a bedroom. And we are 3 girls with 3 different opinions on how the space should be used...
Carly: says that we should keep her white whicker dresser and armoire in the entrance as storage and a table to put keys on and a lamp etc. the drawers would hold mitts, scarves, hats etc.
Liz: says that the dresser and armoire is just too much for the entrance and that we should use her smaller night table stand to put keys on and a lamp etc. Even though the stand doesn?t match (not that the white whicker does either) it is wooden like something from the 70?s ? but not in a cool way ? with gold metal handles on the drawers.
Karen: says that for a small space less is more ? we should have a mirror on the wall 1- to check ourselves 2 ? to open up the space. And maybe a chair or a plant and that?s it?
What does Holly say??
Love ya babe!!
k.
