Guys! I'm thrilled to announce that our home was featured as this week's Small Space Squad Home Tour on Jojotastic! I'm a big fan of Joanna Hawley's blog and her previous features have included some of my design idols (Crystal Ann Interiors, Reserve Home and Jess Ann Kirby).

Residing in Toronto for the last decade (gawd, I feel old), small space living's become a way of life. I've slowly clawed my way up the square footage ladder: from my bachelor apartment days (400 sq ft) to our first place together (an 800 sq ft loft) and our current family home (1200 sq ft semi, not including the unfinished basement ).

I know, at 1200 sq ft our home's downright palatial compared to most tiny homes. While I'm honored to be included in the Small Space Squad, I feel a little like one of Cinderella's stepsisters trying to squeeze her fat foot into the glass slipper compared to some of the other Squadettes.

We're toying with the idea of going even smaller. Eric's always watching Tiny House Nation and sprinter van conversions on YouTube. He would actually be happy living in a van down by the river...

It used to be difficult to find inspiration for pint-sized interiors in the mainstream. Most small homes could fit inside those featured on the covers of Arch Digest and Elle Decor.

In the last few years, tiny home living has become a movement in its own right; inflated housing markets and climate change have funnelled more of us towards a smaller, simpler lifestyle that's more economical and environmentally-friendly.

It's easy to make a multi-million-dollar mansion look good with the hefty decor budget that goes along with mansion life (not that I'd know...I'll have to ask one of my doctor friends who chose a more lucrative speciality). But, there's something uniquely satisfying about taking a compact space and making it look good on a modest budget.

In this post, I'll share with you the best Instagram accounts for small space decor inspiration. But first, a peek at my own little IG account @neatntiny.blog.

2) 600 Sq Ft And A Baby

You're not really small space living until you have a Murphy bed in the kitchen and an IKEA shoe cabinet in the entryway. Alison Mazurek shares her 600 sq ft one bedroom apartment in Vancouver with her husband and two kids. Her space oozes clever, space-maximizing design and storage ideas.
