Tiny Living
I was just about to write BLin an email to discuss the Tiny House Movement and see if his inclination for good/health conscious food had ever spilled over into a want/desire to dwell in a more conscientious space. Then I realized that I really haven’t ever talked with ANY of my friends about how obsessed I am with the Tiny House movement.
A recent NPR article on the subject refueled my passion on the subject and I have slowly started to add ‘tiny house links’ to my delicious account for safe remembrance. For the past couple years or so I have slowly started to collect ideas for my eventual dream to either live in a barn (i probably need a lot of money to restore one of those bad boys), or to find a plot of land and build a small modern dwelling for myself. I have to admit that a lot of this started with my affinity towards good design in small spaces (think NYC apartments), but once I began reading about it, it became apparent that people all over the country (and world) are starting to take a smaller approach to where they live.
There are tons of styles of houses, some look like sheds, some like children’s play houses (i kid you not), and some ultra modern. I personally prefer the ultra modern style and love the idea of being able to actually afford to live in a more modern space. If you’re square footage is reduced significantly you can theoretically afford nicer materials. Theoretically.
At any rate, I theres plenty of reading that you can do on your own on the subject… but I basically wanted to know…Does this interest any of you guys in the least? It kind of fascinates me.
