If you’re living in a small space and/or trying to be more eco-conscious, the holidays can feel a bit like a bit of a trap.🎄The idea of additional, decorative home goods, mounds of gifts, and festive attire can squeeze compact square-footage while generating unwanted waste— from production, to transport, to (ultimately) removal. Plus, when you’re in a region similar to ours here in Southern California, the weather doesn’t help you cut corners. If you want it to look and feel like the romantic start of a snowy-white winter season we see in movies, you have to get creative.☃️ To all of this I say— why not embrace a green season?💚 More on the blog in partnership with my favorite, @garnethillpics.
Out of office. 🍂
We love entertaining guests in our tiny cottage— especially during the holidays. @swellbottle makes practical, stylish and eco-friendly drinkware that we can use here AND on-the-go, reducing waste and streamlining the products we require for a greener lifestyle.🍃🌎 #sponsored
While it's great to share stories about designs that help us live comfortably and contentedly in small spaces, I think it’s just as important to discuss the things that we can happily live WITHOUT— particularly during the holidays, when “stuff” just of all sorts just seems to balloon. 🎁 After all, making a home of a small space isn’t mainly about figuring out how to cram as much stuff as possible into your compact quarters— it’s about experiencing more by owning less. 🌲 New on the blog: Some Items You Can Probably Go Without - The Holiday Edition.
