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.

A Greener New Year

A Greener New Year

Not even two weeks into 2020 and climate change is loudly reminding us that it’s not just at our doorsteps— it’s deep within our homes, ravaging spaces and lives, displacing families, and devastating wildlife and plant life in unthinkable numbers.

Here on this blog, I aim to continue to focus on our company’s cornerstone subject of organized and simplified small space living, but to always do so with the climate crisis at the top of mind. And, as it’s an election year here in the US, I want to share less about eco-friendlier products, and more about policies and organizations that operate with climate justice at the forefront.

From our small space to yours, we’re wishing you a greener New Year.
