Boat People’s co-owner Mel moved three months ago in this cute one bedroom apartment downtown Québec, Canada.  Being a true vintage worshiper, she decorated this tiny space with care and style, giving an amazingly modern twist to her romantic vintage furniture.  Mel is a great example of someone who can make a lot with a little;  The 500 square feet apartment has a monthly rent of 490$ but when you step inside, it feels big and fancy!  Hope you enjoy the tour xo

How to: create a relaxing space

relaxing_space_outdoors_boatpeoplevintage_04 Most of us live so fast, never stopping, always juggling from a project to another. And it’s awesome and exciting, but sometimes we tend to forget the importance of relaxing and emptying our minds. At least, I know I do. So I decided that I needed to dedicate a little corner of my loft to meditation and relaxation. A space where I would be able to read, listen to music, do yoga or simply nap. Whether you prefer having it indoors or outdoors, below find out how to create a relaxing space where you can evade yourself. Good luck and have fun!
