With chapters centred around the essentials—living, sleeping, eating, and bathing—Small Space Style features real-life examples from Whitney’s own delightful and sophisticated cottage in Venice Beach, California, as well as home tours of some of her favourite tiny houses, micro apartments, and beautiful, efficient small spaces.
