Space Challenged Apt - Crib Ideas

Okay we live in a tiny 1 bedroom apt. Hubby's job is a little shaky right now just like the rest of the world... so we don't really want to move. If we got a normal crib in our room we would have 11" between our bed and the crib. We could have the crib in our living room (AWESOME AMBIANCE). Or a pack and play as a crib, but that just feels wrong.
Are you space challenged? What are you doing?
TIA, M

When our first was born, we were essentially in a one bedroom and we had an Amby baby hammock in our room. Worked great for us, and my son slept it in exclusively for the first 4-5 months. If after that time, you're still in the one bedroom, then either of those options would work - crib in living room or PNP as crib. We didn't even buy a crib until he was 8 months old.
No reason to rush the crib purchase! Use an Amby or a PNP until you figure things out.
What about a mini crib?
We're in a 2 bedroom place, but we didn't want to give up our office/guest room so DD's crib is in a corner of our room (fortunately our bedroom is large enough to fit everything). I have a friend who does the same thing with a much smaller room, and her DD sleeps in a mini crib.
ETA: I should add that I second the Co-Sleeper idea, at least for the first few months. We used one until DD was 6 months old and it worked great. A P&P would also work well.
