Janet Lee

JANET LEE, an Emmy Award-winning television show producer, has styled and produced for leading home decorators, entrepreneurs, and designers such as Martha Stewart, B. Smith, and Thom Filicia. She launched her career as a home décor producer for Lifetime Television’s Our Home and spent ten years as a senior producer for The Oprah Winfrey Show, working closely with style legends like Nate Berkus…and paid attention. Having lived in a dozen different pocket-sized apartments over the past 20 years, Janet attests, “I’m a serial small space nester with a unique vantage point. “Each apartment I’ve lived in—with its laundry list of list of lighting and structural flaws—has become a personal decorating lab where I’ve created and road-tested my ideas.” Since 2008, she has been writing a popular small space design blog, livinginanutshell.com. Named one of the top go-to sites for affordable modern design by the San Francisco Chronicle in 2009, her blog continues to attract people from all over the world—an average of 50,00 hits a month—seeking DIY tips and innovative ideas for chic urban design. She lives in New York City.
