Living and embodying the small life doesn’t have to mean living in an Airstream. Living small is living below your means and living in a space that’s physically smaller than average, but full of heart. That’s why I was so excited to hear from Hannah and see her tiny loft. Take it away, Hannah!
My name is Hannah I live in Toronto. I live in a 584 square foot loft. I have recently decided to simplify my life. It is definitely is not as simple as living in Airstream, but I have downsized my living and I so happy with it. I downsized for many reasons. I downsized because I get so distracted and annoyed when things are not at their place. I also realized I’ve been wasting so much energy and time on daily basis just for THINGS around me when I could’ve spent the time and energy on the stuff that I actually enjoy. I couldn’t keep up with having my surroundings the way I wanted. It was messy and I wasn’t happy.
So I decided to get rid of all the extra things. I have done the 30 Day Minimalist Challenge. And I think I’ll do it again.
I feel like the less stuff I have, the more space opens up in my mind. Now I spend less time on cleaning; it only takes me 20 min to clean the entire loft. I have more time to spend on myself and I am thinking of starting a blog with my best friend.

Thanks, Hannah! Hannah has even taken living frugal to the next level. You can rent out her gorgeous loft on Air B&B. In fact, a couple friends and I hope to stay there this summer! You can also check out Hannah on her Facebook page. -Melanie

I love it! What a beautiful loft! I especially love Hannah’s comment “I feel like the less stuff I have, the more space opens up in my mind.” This is one of the unexpected benefits I found from simplifying my life. The physical clutter definitely contributes to mental clutter.
YES! I couldn’t agree more!
I love seeing the small life represented in an urban environment. Especially here in Toronto!
Me too! I’d love to have more submissions from people in urban environments. Hint, hint, wink, wink!
I wouldn’t say that my husband and I live a “small life”, but the more I read about it (on blogs like yours) the more I am drawn to it.
