Because my studio is so small, I've had to shop more intentionally.
Hannah Fowler
When I was planning my move to Brooklyn and touring a 410-square-foot space, the first thing I noticed was the lack of, well, space. The place looked small in photos on StreetEasy, but this was something else altogether.Every section of the studio — from the bed area to the kitchenette to the entryway — was a mere few paces from each other. Yet, the rent was under $2,000, and about $200 less than what I'd been paying to live with a roommate in Manhattan.As soon as the light came pouring through the towering window overlooking the tree-lined streets dotted with gardens and brownstones nestled in the romantic neighborhood of Brooklyn Heights, I knew this studio was the one.My application was approved, and after a few months, I was surprised by how little the lack of space bothered me — and by the way it transformed my relationship to spending and owning things.Small living made me confront my previous spending habits
I don't have the space to accumulate a ton of stuff anymore.
