Make the Most of a Small Space

Posted on Oct 29, 2020 in How To

For many of us, an urban lifestyle grants us access to fresh croissants, coffee, and flowers right outside our front door, but it doesn’t always mean a lot of space.

While Vancouver may be known as a bike-friendly city, bicycles aren’t always the preferred mode of transportation during the colder, rainier months. That doesn’t mean you’re limited to cars, though: whether it’s the Skyt...
