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.

Women Supporting Women

Here’s to women supporting women. Because when systems fail us, we must stand up for one another.

I want to say a heartfelt Thank You to Vintner’s Daughter (and its founder, April,) for showing up for the youth at The RightWay Foundation, year after year.

60% of sex trafficking victims nationally are from foster care. The RightWay Foundation exists to prevent foster youth who are aging out of the system from falling into situations such as this, as well as homelessness and incarceration. This marvelous nonprofit works towards setting their youth up with safer living conditions, access to in-house mental health, job preparedness training, and a 24/7 understanding community equipped with trauma-informed training.

Thank you, April and the Vintner’s Daughter team, for supporting all the youth at RightWay— the women and their children in particular.
