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.

We've been trying hard to avoid using disposable goods and single-use plastics when out of the cottage. We're making a effort at our weekly farmers market in particular, but it can be tough since so many items come pre-packaged. Still, I've started carrying a small, washable pouch that easily contains almost everything we need for the majority of our quick dining and shopping on-the-go. This includes reusable bags and bottles/thermoses, a bottle sling, camping cutlery for the adults, a folding spork for West, cloth napkins, 2 stainless steel straws (and a corresponding cleaning brush) for the adults, a silicone straw for West, reusable beeswax wrap, and a waterproof sandwich bag in which to put the items after they've been used. It's all compact for toting and for storing in our tiny home.
