Small and elegant. As contrasted with big and ostentatious.
What a relief. Do you really need a mansion (or worse- a McMansion) or a storage facility? Maybe. But probably not. I’ll admit that 475 square feet would be a pinch for most- me included. But a not-so-big place lends itself to fewer, better things. You make every square inch count. Isn’t that better than having entire rooms that don’t even matter?
Bijou- very British and French. Sticking closer to home… compact, snug, cozy, desirable, sought-after, stylish, chic, fashionable. Someday the tide will turn on big and ostentatious. When that wave hits, don’t say you weren’t warned.
