We spent a hard-working 24 hour stretch this weekend finishing up a master bedroom remodel that had fallen into a bit of a dormant state for a “month or so”. If I had known how easy this was going to be, I would never have let the half-finished state persist for as long as I […]
20 Small Space Storage Ideas
Here’s one thing I know for sure… no matter how big your house is, you need more storage! People have an uncanny knack for filling whatever space they have available. If you do live in a small house (mine is a little cottage by the water at a cozy 1000 square feet) you really need […]

I’ve been thinking a great deal about small spaces lately. That surprises me given that I’ve made most of my living by making houses larger! Family of Four in 1000 sf? It might have to do with the fact that my family has recently moved from a house of about 3000 sf to one of […]
