The Jewel Box™ Home Reader Stories

Suzanne's Little Nursery

At long last I have posted the wonderful small home living stories generously submitted by Jewel Box™ readers over the last number of months. From as far away as Berlin, Germany where Katie lives with her husband in an apartment measuring 480 square feet, to Suzanne in Massachusetts who traded up to 8000 square feet, but still cherishes the tiny home where her children were born, each story is a unique celebration of small home living. For a peek into these much loved smaller homes I invite you to visit The Jewel Box™ Home website under Readers Stories.

And for those of you who live in the Chicago land area, I would love to see you at one or both of the Jewel Box™ classes I will be teaching this summer on the Evanston campus of Oakton Community College. The class descriptions and online registration link follow.

design ideas that don’t cost “an arm and a leg.” Come to class with pictures of the targeted room that could use a new look.

I have to admit, I find the Oakton registration process a bit confusing, so if you have any questions call 847-982-9888 and press 3.

Until next time!

Warmly,
