Welcome to the Cottage.

The Tiny Canal Cottage is a resource for helping folks mindfully conceptualize, decorate and enjoy versatile + smaller home spaces. Founded by designer, consultant, stylist, creative director and author, Whitney Leigh Morris, this family-owned small business recently finished the construction of a new, compact cottage and greenhouse-office in the southeastern US, and are also restoring a little 1800s French farmhouse and its outbuildings with co-stewards. Morris’ focus is crafting flexible, sustainable, and more community-focused home spaces. Explore Whitney’s book, blog, and social channels for years of tips and tales from living and working in — and with — a smaller footprint.

By request, I’m resuming my Rightsized Vintage posts for all subscribers of my newsletter.

These weekly posts will highlight and link to nine secondhand pieces that are well designed for small spaces, or areas in need of enhanced utility or creative storage solutions. This is a way to add character to our homes, source more responsibly, and shop small. (Plus you can always message a seller to request used packing materials if they’ve got them.)
