"At the height of Seattle\u2019s real estate market in 2003, when Leah and Chad Steen bought their first home, the property was far from picture perfect. \u201CThere was no landscaping; the previous owners even left us a note about the sad-looking Charlie Brown tree in the front yard,\u201D says Leah, who owns Revival Home &amp; Garden (revivalhomeandgarden.com), a shop in Capitol Hill. \u201CBut the house had tons of character, and there weren\u2019t holes in the ceiling, like other places we\u2019d seen.\u201D\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nThe early-1900s house\u2019s footprint (1,300 square feet) is small, and the high sticker price left little cash for decorating. But limits only bred creativity. \u201CDesigning a small space means you can be discriminating, and vibrant decor updates don\u2019t have to be pricey, just imaginative,\u201D says Leah. Besides, \u201Cwhen I met Chad, he was living part-time in a VW bus, so this was definitely a step up for him.\u201D\r\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
