I've always really loved small spaces. While my current tiny cottage is partially a product of budget realities, the primary reason is that I looked for a tiny cottage to live in because I get a kick out of making the best of limited space. As a child, I used to make little blanket forts in the tiny hot press at home. 

My favourite toy wasn’t the nice dolls my parents bought me but the cardboard box our dishwasher came in, which I transformed into my own tiny house.
