Don’t you love this quote from icon Coco Chanel, “An interior is the natural projection of the soul”? YES! This really resonates with me and is what loving. living. small. is all about – creating a soulful and comfortable home that works for you {no matter what the size.) For small spaces, remember to design a space that suits your uses and lifestlye despite the traditional use of the room or the decor. For example, if you have a dining space but need an office, make an office. Your ottoman can become a table and your bedroom can become part-hallway.  Certainly budget and time play a role in creating a space you love but it’s important to make a home on your house. If you love a decor item – go for it. It you hate a piece of hand-me down furniture, upcycle it. There are no rules and no trends – if you love it, enjoy it – you are the one living there.H How have you created your home?
