While sharing tips and stories regarding interiors feels pretty ridiculous at this moment in time, I think there is something important to it. Embracing smaller spaces, repurposing, choosing local, handmade and/or used goods, and sharing resources are all ways to look out for each other and out one shared home. We can make the most of our compact homes by being deliberate about what we acquire and getting creative with whatever space we have. Sourcing secondhand is a delightful way to add character to our homes, enjoy previously used goods and shop small. (And don’t forget that you can message sellers to request used packaging materials if they’ve got them.)
