Simple. Sustainable. Small.

I’ve been writing about home design, gardening, and sustainable living for more than 20 years. I’m interested in how people live in their homes and how their homes impact their lives and our environment. Our homes are the backdrop for our lives and a reflection our selves.

My work has appeared in many major publications, including Better Homes & Gardens, Country Living, Good Housekeeping, Real Simple, and on leading home websites, including Apartment Therapy, Domino, Remodelista.

My stories resonate.

I am proud of how deeply Living Small has touched its readers.
Here’s what my clients say about my books…

“I read this book and it really changed things for me. I realized this didn’t have to be just our for now home, till we moved on to the bigger and better things I had always imagined. There was a lot to love about out smaller space, I just didn’t know how to use it and appreciate it properly, until I did. This book provided a great change in my way of thinking. A new appreciation for living in just enough space.”

“I am someone who generally hates on books that tell me how to be better. I not only don’t hate this one. I actually think I love it! This book isn’t condescending or judge-y or unrealistic or preachy. Instead, it’s inspiring, practical, smart, and insightful… it got me thinking in a fresh way about my own space and stuff. Also— this book is written for real people, including people with quirks and kids. I found it refreshingly rooted in reality. it didn’t make me feel bad about my stuff. Rather, it inspired me to have energy, not shame, in dealing with lingering clutter. And it helped me feel comfortable in my desire for less. Reading it reminded me why less (not MORE), small (not HUGE!) and enough (not EXTRA!!) is worth pursuing.”
