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.

Tiny Adventures: The Craftsman Mini-Me

Tiny Adventures: The Craftsman Mini-Me

One of the things I enjoy the most about small space living is that it inspires us to seek new experiences beyond our four walls. As such, I'm posting some "Tiny Adventures" here on the Cottage blog to share these lil' moments.

I took the afternoon off to treat myself to my kind of "spa day," which entailed a visit to my other favorite tiny house in Venice: the Craftsman Mini-Me by @shophbleu:

While I love the entire home (which is available to rent on Airbnb), I mainly visited for the outdoor shower. It's the most gorgeous little place to relax and breathe:

Is it a rule that every parent of a young child HAS to look exhausted and have insanely dry skin at all times? I’ve been trying to work on both of these things, which is one of the reasons I stole some quiet time to catch my breath at the Mini-Me.

I brought my favorite Almond Body Balm and Shower Oil by L'Occitane with me-- they both smell and feel incredible. Little luxuries can go a loooong way.
