7 BEST TIPS AND TRICKS FOR LIVING IN A TINY HOUSE

Thank you SO much, Rita, for inviting me to share on your blog and with your Harbour Breeze ‘family’! I’m thrilled to be here!

Julie here, from My Wee Abode. Rita and I have been BBBs (best blogging buddies) ever since we were roommates at our first blogging conference! Talk about a blast!

I’m a “late-blooming” blogger, just celebrating my three-year blogiversary last month! Kind of a long story, but you can learn more on my About page.

My Wee Abode provides inspiration for creating a curated home, specifically for small home living (that is translatable to all homes), by providing innovative storage solutions, DIY tutorials, and budget-friendly decorating tips/helps.

And since MWA specializes in apartment-life solutions (oh, did I mention I live in a 400sf loft apartment?), and Harbour Breeze often shares about downsizing and small home living, I figured y’all might interested in a few storage and organization solutions straight from My Wee Abode.

So let’s take a look at some amazing small home solutions!

The Best Organizing Tool EVER!

Have you ever found something and said, “THIS is a game-changer!” Well, that’s just what I thought when I found the best organizing tool ever!

One of the BIGGEST issues I have with storage and organization is finding where my decor and craft items are located.

Christmas storage organizing is especially a BIG problem… can I get an “amen”?

This amazing storage app is made for your smartphone, super easy to learn, and a lot of fun, too! (It’s actually a little addicting!)

DIY Coffee/Tea Station Ideas for a Small Space

Whether you are a coffee or tea drinker, or maybe even a “Hallmark” hot cocoa lover (what is it with Hallmark… do they not know that a latte is AMAZING at Christmas-time?), a beverage station is kind of a ‘must’ for any home these days.

But what if you have a wee-bit-of-a-kitchen? Well, take a look at these coffee station ideas for a small space.
