Courtney Boyd Myers is incredibly busy, organized, and talented.

Our favorite part: Courtney uses MakeSpace as her remote control home.

Think spending tens of millions of dollars on a swank apartment automatically gets you extras like huge storage space, a suite for your butler or maid, and a private parking spot for your shiny Italian sports car? Think again. 

Summer scorchers are behind us. It’s time to take those A/C’s out of your windows, throw on a sweater, and let the cool fall breeze flow through your apartment.

Shake Shack Culinary Director Mark Rosati is the genius responsible for the restaurant’s incredible menu and one-of-a-kind frozen custard flavors like “Waffles & Bacon” and “Coffee and Donuts.” When we heard that Mark was going to be using MakeSpace, we knew we had to interview him. He was kind enough to take a minute out of his busy schedule to chat with us about everything Shack. Read on for the inside scoop!

Getting married is one of life’s happiest moments. Figuring out what to do with wedding keepsakes and duplicate appliances in a tiny New York City apartment is not. That’s why newlyweds Sarah and Evan Cheng signed up for MakeSpace.

We all know that Manhattan real estate prices are out of control, but this story takes the madness to a new level. At 42 Crosby Street, the site for a new luxury apartment building, parking spaces are being sold for One Million Dollars a piece.

Moving to New York City sucks. First, you have to figure out how to get yourself here. Then you have to figure out how to get your stuff here. Then you have to find a place to stay temporarily. Then you have to navigate the insane NYC housing market and find an apartment. And then, after all that, you still have to get all of your stuff from your temporary home to your new, permanent home. At which point you’ve basically moved three times. We have good news. There’s a better way, and professional photographer Ike Edeani has found it!

If you’ve got a New York City apartment, chances are you’ve got a tiny closet. You’ve probably tried every trick in the book for maximizing that tiny little hole in your wall. You may even have resorted to hanging multiple pieces of clothing on each hanger. Design genius Ivan Zhang knows your pain. That’s why he invented the brilliant Hanger’ pictured above.

We’ve been obsessed with Patrick Janelle’s Instagram this summer. Burgers. Parks. Skylines. Cappucinos. Staycations. Vacations. He’s pretty much the quintessential New York Instagrammer. So naturally, when he signed up for MakeSpace, we knew we had to make something happen. With a shared love of burgers and parks, we decided to have Patrick curate a bin of his New York City Summer Park Essentials.
