living small, living well

Much of what is built today is on such a large scale that the human element is almost totally lost. Smaller spaces can not only be cozy, but also beautiful, practical and fun to live in.

How much space do you really need to live well? How much of what you have actually enriches your life and how much of it just ties you down and requires dusting?

I hope this blog to be a travelogue, if you will, of things and ideas that inspire me to reexamine the way I think about living small and living well.

I really like the idea of this table. You can find it at canvashomestore.com. The simple industrial steel base almost disappears below the cedar tabletop, made from salvaged New York City water towers. The great thing about cedar is that it only gets better with time and weathering, and is easily used indoors or out.

The bench in the foreground is also made from salvaged cedar. What a beautiful way to recycle. You can click on the image to see more.
