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.

Hosting Overnight Guests in Tiny Spaces

Our little home is back on RUE Daily-- but with a twist! I'm sharing some of our tips and tricks for hosting overnight guests in small spaces. Here at the Cottage, we've hosted up to three overnight guests for two nights, and a single guest for up to three weeks! If we can do it, so can you. Click on the clip below to jump to the story.

Thank you, Rue Daily and photographer Kimberly Genevieve
