Some girls get roses for Valentine’s Day, I got a wall, denuded of it’s really messy old horsehair plaster. It’s the beginning of the bathroom renovation — while my tiny bathroom isn’t getting any bigger, we’re moving the door, putting in tile, moving the bathtub to the opposite wall, painting, and putting in a fan, lights, and new towel bars and stuff. I’ve been putting this off for three years, because it was just too overwhelming — but it’s begun. The bathroom transformation.

I'm a writer and editor based in Livingston, Montana. I moved to Livingston from the San Francisco Bay area in 2002 in search of affordable housing and a small community with a vibrant arts community. I found both. LivingSmall details my experience buying and renovating a house, building a garden, becoming a part of this community. It also chronicles my efforts to rebuild my life after the sudden death of my younger brother, and closest companion, Patrick in a car wreck.
