I find such joy in making adjustments within our little home (which is also my full-time office) in order to creatively improve our household’s day-to-day routines.

Little adjustments within a home can save a surprising amount of space— like this secondhand spice rack, fixed up a bit, painted, and now living out its new life in the kitchen of our 900 sqft cottage. (When pressed for space, go vertical if it’s safe. The best, untapped storage options are often UP.)
