H&H: WHERE DO YOU STASH YOUR STUFF?

TC: Everywhere I possibly can! My boots

are under the bed and I put tools

lightbulbs and extra blankets in a chest

of drawers. My ceilings are high so

I put lots on the top of armoires and in

the upper shelves in closets. I also have

beautiful boxes in my office where

I store books.

H&H: WHAT’S YOUR BEST ADVICE FOR

THOSE WHO WANT TO DOWNSIZE?

TC: Let go of things you don’t use every

day. Editing is the key; keep only what

you really use and love.

H&H: WHAT’S THE MOST SURPRISING

BENEFIT OF SMALL-SPACE LIVING?

TC: I can see everything — all the pieces

I love — like artwork. In a bigger space

I might not see or use those things all

the time.
