    We’ve already coveted Charlie’s DIY <a href="http://inhabitat.com/tag/small-living/" target="_blank">super efficient studio apartment</a>, complete with built- in storage stairs, excessive shelving and loungeable loft space.

    The other characters’ pads are just as sweet, and Ballinger has shared the spacious floorplans and mock ups on her website.

  • Girls Hannah and Marnie
    Hannah and Marnie’s modest two bedroom shares a dimly lit kitchen/living area, larger than New York average bath tub, and of course the girls’ good sized bedrooms.

    Set in Greenpoint, the true two bedroom differs from the trend of railroad apartments that unfortunately dominate the area.

  • Girls- Shoshanna
    Shoshanna’s gorgeous huge studio looks even larger from a bird’s eye view in the floor plan. Complete with quirky décor, the apartment is bigger than most early twenty something’s call home, with a giant L shaped space that could easily be the same square footage as a one bedroom.
    6
  • Girls Adam
    Adam’s T-shaped man cave is even more unbelievably large, with separate bedroom, living room, work area, and kitchen, all clad with vintage furnishings fit for a Brooklyn dude. The larger than life space even has room for his home gym without having to move furniture around. With soaring rent prices in New York, the living spaces of the Girls characters seem unrealistic for struggling twenty something’s- unless of course their parents are footing the bill.
