"Have you ever wondered how our ancestors preserved a whole winter season worth of frost-intolerant produce? Canning is a useful method, though a large harvest can easily turn it into a seemingly impossible task. The solution many generations before us turned to was building a root cellar.
Although many cannot build their own old-world root cellars due to rentals, adequate space, or urban environments; a little common sense and wisdom of temperature and humidity guidelines will allow anybody to whip together an ideal means of prolonging produce-life through the winter.
A conventional root cellar, which essentially is a room buried in a hillside or underground, meets only a handful of criteria.
Insulation: The earth is a wonderful insulator. A typical old-world root cellar was literally buried on all sides except the entrance, utilizing the natural insulating properties of the soil.

spaces don't need to be large to be comfortable. In fact, large spaces often make use feel vulnerable (we are still animals, after all), causing us to seek a nook or a cozy edge within a larger room.
Tips for making a small room feel cozy instead of claustrophobic:
1. integrate storage
2. create edges that can be occupied (like window seats)
3. capture a view beyond the space (gives an expansive feeling)
4. ample natural daylight -- this one is absolutely key!
