- Though a 600-square foot house may not classify as a "tiny home" in most people's books, it is still a small space that requires you to be smart and efficient when it comes to use of storage space. We'll take you through twelve of our storage strategies that we considered before and after the design process.

I just recently bought a food processor to eliminate the huge storage that it takes to collect scraps however I don't do composting as of yet but we feed the animals at the Woodland winners are hard on animals so we tried to share our food source...
Me.too!❤
where did you get your stainless steel measuring spoons? looks cool
So awesome of you to share this! I’m wowed.
Some people dream of living in a mansion. I dream of living in a space like this. Absolutely stunning.
Yes, me too :)
And much more affordable. Not a slave to the bills.
Yes, me too.
Same and I do
This is pretty much my dream house, down to all the plants. ❤
I feel like a millionaire now that I have downsized.
This is the most perfect, beautiful little home I've ever seen! I love every single thing about it. Even the spider.
Having experienced shared Army Accomodation shared by 4 - we had to come up with interesting ideas on how to use the back of wardrobes to have some privacy. All we had were single beds. 4 wardrobes and 4 dressers. So the wardrobes were our walls. Its amazing how you can change the space by using the back of wardrobes. When I left and moved into another open plan large room - I used the back of a large wardrobe system to separate a large open plan room to give me privacy in the bedroom area. Just a thought - once I could use paint and wallpaper I wall papered the back of a large wardrobe and added mirrors for a privacy screen.
I live in a very small house and bought a half size dish washer from Bosch! I love it, it has changed my life 😊
Personally I think having two small dishwashers on each side of a sink would be ideal solution for me then I wouldn't need an extra cupboard cubbard cabinet space for everyday used dishes, mugs, utensils.
Hi, Can you give me a link to your small dishwasher? Thanks
Would love to know more. Sometimes links get deleted... Having the brand name & model would be much appreciated.
I bought a Loch Capsule dishwasher. It's fabulously efficient, and fits under one side of my farmhouse sink. I highly recommend this model.
@@susanbeals7597 Appreciated! thank you ❤
I think I cried all the way through it I've dreamed about living in that house since I was 3 years old and I'm 63 now it felt like home! You're wonderful doing all this it's beautiful it speaks of your soul!!! I personally would have the breakfast nook go all the way around the wall. That's something we had when I was a child. All the kids from the neighborhood just love to come and sit in the kitchen at the breakfast nook! The lamp above it was a lantern type that had a handle under it that you could grab and pull it down on a pulley system then when you were done playing cards or other games you could push it back towards the ceiling!!! We always felt like we were playing cards in a movie!! The table was not quite round not quite square but with the seating being all along the wall in a u-shape, with more than ample room, we did not need a chair in front of the table. We could always grab one from the other room if we needed it. Me personally the chair blocks the flow of the room and makes it smaller. The big Windows behind us gave us a view that let the sun in every morning. We had big soft cushions on the seat and the back and the material was something that felt like vinyl and leather mixed? My mother loved it easy cleanup!! Three boys and three girls you need a lot of cleanup! The seats were attached to the wood bench with large snaps and unbelievably they did not rip, come loose or slide around for over 12 years! That's very amazing when I think back about it. I still dream about that breakfast nook and the peace and serenity I felt every morning Setting there, I felt special! Thanks for a wonderful video I have that special feeling watching you both!!! Much love to you and yours! ♥️🙋🏻♀️
bravo for moving the bathroom door, not just to gain cabinet/counter space in the kitchen, but also because it's just plain nasty to have the bathroom door open directly to the kitchen. I fully understand that sometimes it can't be avoided, but very often there is a way :D
I'm in love with that kitchen design and I love a kitchen nook! So jealous of all the beautiful light you have streaming in!
A lazy susan should be mandatory for all kitchens. Charming! Well done.
I recently downsized to a much smaller home but I'm still challenged by storage so I enjoyed your ideas.I have utilized baskets on bookcases and top of the refrigerator. So much nicer in retirement to have less to take care of. Really like the colors and layout you've used!
I'm in love! Beautiful green (I think that's called Kelly), terra cotta, oxblood. Along with plenty of warm white. And the banquette is so custom and built-in, the whole length of the walls. Beautiful! What a blessing to have this orientation as well, the light streams in! And what a pleasant surprise with the cafe-length curtains, you rarely see them, people say you need long drapes to make a room look larger. There was a movement called the 'not-so-tiny' house for a while.
Looks like something out of Better Homes and Gardens. Love all the personal touches. (Need a plant tour!)🙂 Definitely gives a comfortable and relaxing vibe.
Gorgeous. You really made it feel not small. And Saunder is a very talented carpenter
That banquette seating/storage could be used for seasonal clothing/jackets/boots as well, as far as not needing to access very often, yet surely have a need for.
Truly lovely details in this home, thanks so much for sharing so many of them. The trash/compost/recycle is brilliant, imho.🎯~Sammy in AZ
I love the built in refrigerator
Really smart looking storage unit constructed at the end of the porch. Perfect proportion and harmonious with the home.
What I particularly find challenging in a small space is keeping it from looking cluttered just with necessary items. Your solutions address that problem beautifully!
Pullout cabinets for your food around the stove would make it even more efficient. Super cute design & love the colors!
I thought the same thing! Definitely need a pull out shelf!
Love everything about the Meadow house. From the colour, through the well thought out placing of every thing., to the plants which seem to be thriving so well.
It is so homely and welcoming. It invites all who see it to stay a while and enjoy the peace the exudes from the walls and sit in the well placed chairs to enjoy the vista from it's many windows. Can not get enough of you vlogs where ever they are done. Thankyou for spending the time to show us the progress and take part in this project.
It's nice to not have such close neighbors, like in the city. Your white curtains are lovely, with all of the friendly colors all around, they just light up and look relatively sheer, from here. My Grandmother's house had the basics, in each room and here and there decorative accents. She had a little room, off of the kitchen, a pantry where things were stored, on shelves etc. right up to the high ceiling. I did not know at the time, but now I would consider it to be a luxury. Storage place anywhere, is a luxury. You've managed it well. I like the invisible fridge.
Wow! Gorgeous place! Love the space saving ideas, the green colour and the way you’ve carried it thru the whole house. It looks so cozy! ❤
LOVELY cozy cottage. Impressive use of space. Well done.
Saunders love the solutions and craftsmanship. Thanks for sharing guys.
Love the banquette seating, but with disabilities, this could be swapped up for deep drawers and not have to pull it all out every time. Such a huge storage area which is super ❤
Thanks for sharing Sweethearts! Nothing I love more than snooping into beautiful homes. You did a super job, looks like a joy to live there 🥰😂
I saw this house a while back and I loved it then, still love it now. The green in the kitchen is perfect. The whole house is amazing. Not sure if you're aware, but the lighting in the video at times makes it hard to see, it's darker here and there.
Finally home is beautiful with all the greenery.And fantastic design of saving space using old equipment turning into new looks.Loved it❤.
Thank you so much 😊
Beautiful home! Another advantage of having furniture on legs with visual space underneath is the "visual space". Your eye is allowed to move around the room making the room feel and look bigger...a very good design trick.
Whoa, that’s a beautiful little house. I love that shade of green. Well done.
Maybe you coud hang the drying rack from the ceiling - with a clever puly system to get it higher and out of the way, when not needed
I just love this house, it's so cute.
Thanks so much.
I would love to live here. Love your chosen color palette and coziness.. lots of plants! My exact taste!
You could use a roll up rack that fits over half the sink for drying, it can also be used as a trivet to put hot pans on counters.
I thought that too. I was planning to get one, because they store easily. Then I realized my cooling rack for baked goods spanned my sink front to back and could double as a drain rack. Then I decided it was easiest to simply dry and put away each item as I washed it. No drying rack needed.
The compost bin in the kitchen are such a genius idea! But too much stuff on the counter in general. Don't know how you can cook there.
Sweet little home and even with all the plants which I will always have, particularly herbs, this home doesn’t look cluttered or tacky.
Have you thought about a drying rack above the sink. Wouldn’t fully block the window behind the sink but you could leave it out and use ait as storage for your everyday dishes. I’ve seen them in England and Europe.
So cute! I want a home like this.
The house looks like an art. Love the color scheme - so calm and cozy.
Loving your color scheme. Very smart!!😊.
You are just my kind of people who think through storage. We live in 450 square feet and it’s so fun to figure out ways to store and display everything you need. I’m getting some inspiration for our tiny home we’ve built.
Good tips and what a beautiful,comfortable home! I use a lot of the tips already, in our modestly sized home (it's not tiny, but then we do have 4 children 😊). I do keep my kitchen counter completely empty, except when cooking. I need room to cook and our entire counter, including sink and cooker measures only 3 meters. My tip there would be to have only what you need (eg two wooden spoons, one large chef's knife and two small knives, a garlic press...) and keep them all in a drawer under the worktop, not in containers on the worktop. We also don't have a dishwasher. We simply use a towel to put our wet dishes on, no rack. I prefer not to store under sofas or beds, for easy cleaning, although I did make some drawers on wheels for under some of the beds, because we just need room to keep sheets and blankets. One extra tip: we have comfortable chairs for 4 people only, because we seldom all sit in the living room together. As extra seats we use folding (camping) chairs covered in quilts. They are easy to bring into the living room when we want to watch a movie together or when we have guests and take up very little room when not in use.
I love, love, love it !!
Had a home with a hatch between two rooms (wall opening). Had the carpenter build 14" side open shelves either side of the hatch . .... Light still comes through but you end up with three extra open "cubicles" either side ..... I kept large jugs and bowls, herb planters in them.
Your house is beautiful!Thanks for sharing.
Very nice warm and cozy home.
You have made a beautiful home!
I had an extra cutting board right under the counter I could pull out for extra counter space. It came in handy.
I recently moved from a house to a senior apartment. We had to downsize our belongings a lot - gave away - donated to our church's thrift store or sold quite a lot.Hopefully we won't miss those things.Our apartment feels spacious because it is not filled with clutter and now it will be my task to not let it get cluttered again. The home in this video is gorgeous.
Wow, people are so critical on here. I think your space is lovely. Thanks for sharing.
What a dream of a house
Very clever designs! I love the kitchen and the lovely colors. Thank you for sharing!
I absolutely love this adorable little house. I would love to have something just like it when I retire. Such a wonderful transformation!!
Not only beautiful, but incredibly well planned as well. Brilliant!
a green lover's heaven. cannot say it better than everyone else. but wow. what a charmer and so smart.
Your kitchen is beautiful
Lovely little home.
Such a beautiful space! I really love the green cabinets and all your tasteful decor. Dreamy!
I’m a Brooklynite. That’s where you learn to maximize space! House is great but for a single person only. Not enough space if doing a “lot of cooking”-need to constantly remove all the stuff sitting on the counter where compost bin is.
Very charming and tidy space - well done!
I love it. Love the colors you’ve used. Best wishes from Devon UK
This is such a lovely home! Thank you for sharing!
Lovely from a storage perspective and aesthetics. Where do you actually prep and plate? How does it fit together with ease of flow to feed a full on meal?
You could fit a dishwasher drawer under the sink. So convenient.
Yeah living w/o a d/w is only a last ditch thing for me. Yuck
I love the simple things. It is so warm and inviting❤️
It's such a beautiful house, I love how the light comes from outside at 0:59
One thing this former office had was A LOT of windows on every side. We even took out 3 and there are still A LOT, but very nice to have all that pass-through light on all sides. The eastern light in the morning is particularly juicy.
I love all the smart storage solutions worked into your kitchen/dining spaces.
❤❤❤ Great use of your space !!!
Your cottage is adorable 💕💕💕
Absolutely beautiful! Thank you for sharing!!
Your home shows such care and craftsmanship! Thank you for sharing your lovely place and clever space saving designs.❤
Love the colours, however any thin cupboards should have pull outs. It’s a real pain to unpack everything to take out or put in something at the back, especially the lower space.
Maybe that can come later,one step at a time
Such a beautiful cozy space!!! Well done! I'm taking notes for sure ❤
so sweet home to live in
well thought out thank you.
I also love the spice rack
Though it is beautiful, in fact, spices ought to be stored out of light, to stay good for a longer time.
Great green color ❤ Love it
Let's talk about that built in shed - so clever and it looks great. I love your 'hidden' refrigerator - the paint color that you've chosen and so much more!
The storage under the benches are great for crafting supplies. I think you can even fit a sewing machine Fabrics n notions.
You’ve created a beautiful and calming “mega vessel,” and my compliments to the filming-so many times in videos like these it’s hard to get an accurate feel of the layout.
Love your home! Absolutely beautiful…
Super gorgeous. Thanks for the tour!
Absolutely beautiful.
6 minutes 30 seconds in, you have bankette seating with storage under the seats. I would be tempted to open up the end facing that kitchen door to the outside, and putting a muddy boot mat in there. I am always looking for good places to put muddy shoes that need to dry.
Beautiful. I love the kitchen.
Love your kitchen love your ideals love your color may you enjoy and have very many happy years in your home.
I love your biophilic cottage! I'm inspired! Even your "mosquito swatter" is beautiful.💚
im about to steal so many ideas from this :D my tiny kitchen love your built in bench and storage
Замечательно и красиво оборудована кухня и столовая! Спасибо за идеи! Счастья Вам в Вашем прекрасном доме.
I love your color scheme…. It makes it look nice and cozy. Where did you find your sofa? It works well with everything. Great job! 🥰
I love this house so much!!
What a gorgeous space! Thank you for sharing.
The compost bin that pulls out to empty is very smart!
Love everything! Your home is absolutely beautiful!
Roman blinds might allow more internal width space. Or do carpentry shutters. Dreams!❤
I’m in love with your home 😮❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Love your home, colors, well organized. Just enough space & very cozy!
Beautiful home
Love your design solutions! I would have loved to see the bathroom configuration.
I’m currently renovating a 450sf cottage and want to consolidate plumbing to the back center of the house to make repairs easy and protect against frozen pipes. This should be easy enough if I have the bathroom and the kitchen sink area share a wall. Kitchen layout seems straightforward, but the bathroom layout is proving to be a little more tricky.
Love it. Cute and cozy❤
I really enjoyed this video. Thanks !
I love your home, beautifully designed. Thank you for sharing!
