Unless, of course, you gather a group of chocolate ice cream lovers to taste them all… Which is what we did.

There Are Closets Bigger Than This Kid’s Room — Yet It’s the Most Functional Space Ever

Ever since Oxfordshire, United Kingdom-based content creator Katie of @kate.athome began growing her following, she’s used her platform to encourage people to “fall in love with the home they have and make the most of all their home has to offer, no matter how big or small.”Case in point: her 5-year-old son Tommy’s tiny bedroom. And when I say tiny, I mean really small at only 6.5 by 7.5 feet. Tommy first started using the space as his nursery when he was baby.
