You know we love to celebrate small abodes, and we especially love it when our readers show us just how much style they can cram into a home under 1000 square feet. These petite House Calls prove once and for all just how much large living you can do in a small space.

Do you enjoy getting small peeks into the gorgeous and inspiring homes of folks around the world? So do we! Which is why we always appreciate so many of you generously inviting us into your homes for sneak peeks of your home’s style. It was hard to choose, but we rounded up our favorite house calls of the year that left us wanting a better look! Click the slideshow above to see all the photos. Want to see more of these homes?
