    Very nice! I love how her “work” area expands and contracts as she needs them while providing a spacious feel while it is all put away…no crowded feeling at all. Love that folding table! Again wishing for more photos which I find are still needed even when you furnish a video. A floor plan would be nice, too. Regardless, all that you show us is appreciated!

    I was looking forward to seeing a video about the home; not ads, a Fashion show and starting the video over and over.

      Stories about homes aren’t always going to be about only the technical details because homes will also involve the people who live in them, their life, and how they are using the home, which gives the home purpose and the reason people can value their home so much more than just a material object but something that directly effects their life…

      This is very much the case here because this has nothing to do with a builder, as the title of the article, “Living and Working in her 280-sq.-ft. Cottage”, suggests. It was originally an unremarkable space before she rented it and moved in, transforming it into something that could serve her needs and help her achieve her goals. Thus, what she does with the space, like running her business as a knitwear designer and sewing pattern maker, is very much part of the story here and the real reason the tour of her home was even done in the first place…
