Painting the bedroom black might not be the first thing that occurs to renters with small spaces, but it's made Fisher's bedroom feel more cozy and natural. "I wish I'd done it a year and a half ago," she says. "I still can't tell if the room looks smaller, but it feels amazingly cozy and like a perfect little cave. I love it. Don't be afraid to paint small rooms dark colors!" The side tables were another Craigslist find. The seller told Fisher that his father had made them when he was stationed in Italy during WWII, and the marble tops have his signature on the bottom.
