(For example, on move-in day, we brought a “decorative chest” to use as our coffee table, which took up approximately 1/3 of our living room…needless to say, it’s currently being stored at my parents’ house…) We’ve learned to be super organized about storing household items and clothes, and have come a long way since the day we first moved in. But, despite the fact that my husband and I live in close quarters, I love our place. But, I’ve gotten a lot better about mindful consumption - having to be so judicious about the things I purchase means that spending money on stuff I don’t need has become easy to avoid.

It’s pretty awesome that vacuuming my place takes all of 10 minutes, since the floor space is so limited. ![]() There are a lot of benefits to living in a small space, mainly having so much less shit to clean. I’ve written about this many times on the site before - so forgive my musings! - but the tiny home, organized living content genre really gets my gears turning. I can’t lie, I’ve probably devoured hundreds of articles over the last few years that offer up the promise of “smart,” “space saving,” and “creative” storage solutions for those of us dwelling in small homes.
