LIVING IN SMALL SPACES
Your go-to guide for living well, and raising a family in a small home.
Meet Stephanie Vainer
Founder and Chief Editor
I’ve spent my life making the most of small spaces. Growing up on an island in Ontario, Canada, helped me understand the value of a safe and happy home. While the tiny A-frame cottage I was raised in, inspired resourcefulness and creativity.
From buying my dream home to downsizing into a condo, inheriting a 400-square-foot cabin, and now living in a 1,200-square-foot modular home, I’ve faced the joys and challenges of small-space living firsthand. Each step shaped my passion for designing solutions that make small spaces functional, beautiful, and family-friendly.
Through years of designing and supporting clients in small spaces, writing aritlces for blogs and creating content on social media, I help overwhelmed families transform small homes into spaces they love with practical tips, smart systems, and stylish solutions. No matter your budget or square footage, small spaces can be mighty—and I’m here to show you how.
