Moving into a 500-square-foot cabin was our dream — but making it work involved some lifestyle compromises

I love my home, but it can be tough to decorate and host in a small space.

My husband and I have lived in a small, off-grid cabin in West Virginia for about a decade.

As much as we love our home, we had to make a few lifestyle changes and adjust some expectations.

We have to compromise on noisy activities like music and TV, and we can't host people often.
