Small-space lifestyle expert Whitney Leigh Morris believes that we don’t need to live large to live beautifully. She chronicles her family’s daily life in The Tiny Canal Cottage, a 1920’s bungalow in dreamy Venice Beach, California through her blog and Instagram account (@whitneyleighmorris). The Cottage is under 400 square feet, and is not only the home of Whitney, her husband, their toddler, and their two rescue beagles, but it’s also the couple’s full-time office.

Whitney’s sage and stylish advice on how to live comfortably and contentedly in compact quarters has landed her in numerous media outlets via features and/or as an expert contributor. Her advice has been shared via Today, Domino, Apartment Therapy, Refinery29, Cosmopolitan, Design Sponge, Lonny Magazine, My Domaine, BuzzFeed, Architectural Digest, The Huffington Post, Good Housekeeping, House Beautiful and many more. She has worked with notable home brands including Anthropologie, Target, CB2, Pottery Barn, Macy’s, The Home Depot, Wayfair, and several more.
