Staying Rightsized (Part 6)
Staying Rightsized is a weekly photo roundup featuring some of the many space-saving considerations around our cottage. I share this as a reminder that we usually don’t need a bigger space— we simply need less stuff, and more creativity. As minor as some of these moments seem, the little things really do add up, providing more space for navigating daily life within limited or awkward square footage.

Rightsizing: Thoughts on outgrowing certain spaces...
Thoughts on the evolution and continued growth of this blog…
This is a place for sharing. Not just stories and visuals, but spaces themselves, and ways in which we can navigate and enjoy them together.
Over my 10+ years of publishing lifestyle and design tales of small space living, I’ve ushered millions of folks through lovingly crafted homes ranging from ~100 sqft to ~900 sqft. I’m continuing some of these intimate walk-throughs, but from now on the full-length / full-imagery versions of most posts (including those from the farmhouse and the cottage) will live on my new Substack + newletter: Rightsizing.
There’s so much interest surrounding multigenerational living, co-stewardship, shared resources, and sustainably + mindfully made, modest residences that the discussion has outgrown my blog, and is settling into a more suitably-sized space of its own.
Honestly I should’ve done this years ago, but I simply didn’t have the bandwidth. I so hope you’ll join me there now. Together, we’ll grow a community of folks who are interested in enjoying life in — and with — a smaller footprint.
