Seriously thinkin about getting a (tiny) house here... 🤔💭 #FromCottageToCastle
Woke up missing #StanleeStubs & Sophee today. 🐶🐶 I love traveling, but I wish I could be in two places at once. 🏡❤️ #TheTinyCanalCottage #adoptdontshop
Even the laundry is beautiful here. @chateaubelcastel #FromCottageToCastle
Twinkle lights. Always. 💡✨ @chateaubelcastel #FromCottageToCastle
Sharing this small space truth in partnership with @helloproducts: Since there’s not much room to stash away everyday items in our tiny home, they are frequently left out in the open and are visible from nearly everywhere in the cottage. As such, I've found that details really do matter with every single product we use-- whether big or small. I try to find items that are beautifully designed ✔ natural ✔ and environmentally-friendly ✔. Baby West now has six teeth (SIX! ALREADY!), so I wanted to get him toothpaste with thoughtful ingredients that don’t contain either SLS or fluoride, and with smartly designed packaging. We’ve been using @helloproducts and West clearly loves the natural 🍉 flavor— LOOK AT THIS FACE! The happy little moments like these are the absolute best. #ingredientsmatter
From cottage to castle: the prettiest grey skies over the village. ☁️ @chateaubelcastel #FromCottageToCastle
Even tinier than the cottage. 🏡😊 #FromCottageToCastle
If you have to work on vacation... 🌿💻 #FromCottageToCastle
I took a mini-break from Insta this past weekend to settle into life at the @chateaubelcastel. I've been visiting Belcastel regularly for over 10 years-- sometimes for months at a time, and other times for only a few short weeks. It's my home away from home. This year's visit feels particularly magical, as it's my first time here with baby West. ❤️ #FromCottageToCastle
Normally the pups (particularly Stanlee) get super bummed when we break out our luggage and start packing. But not tonight! They've been running around the garden like it's an obstacle course. It's tough for me to leave #StubsandSoph for any amount of time, but their playfulness this evening makes it feel a bit easier to handle. 🐶🐶 #adoptdontshop #TheTinyCanalCottage
