Does anybody else like tiny houses?

[KelliAutumn]

I need to meet more people who love tiny living like I do!
My dream is to open a 5 acre tiny house community in the mountains of NH!

I love reading about tiny living spaces and seeing images...I'm really impressed by people who can really stretch tiny spaces into usable living. I probably don't have the discipline myself...I tend to fill every horizontal area with "stuff," but I really admire people who can.

If people lived in a community like that, they should all change their names to Smurf names.

HAHAHAH!!!
Ridiculous!! No way!

It's all about not living around rent money and more so trips and experiences you can have!


I totally get that people can't live in tiny houses, though. I used to be a "I want a mansion" kind of girl.

Now, I just want to live in a tiny house and travel the world!

I watched that documentary/movie on Netflix and loooooved it!
But I love space... I just wanna be able to interpretive dance throughout my house. I also like that show Tree house Masters, where they build baller tree houses with interior design that are like the insides of tiny houses. It's a super cool concept, and good for those who can do it!

I do! Fun things to look at: tumbleweedhouses and OffbeatHome's tiny home archive

I want to live in the middle of wilderness, in something like a tiny house or an "earthship" or perhaps something else... either way I will have to build in secret passages though.

Love watching all the youtube videos from people who have made small houses. Some really great ideas for utilizing space in efficient ways.

My house is like 600-650 sq ft. It's super tiny and quaint, and I love it. Perfect for 2 people, especially considering the size of the yard.

Color me clueless... but wtf does a tiny house under 400 sq ft have to do with your ability to travel?

It would cost less money, giving her money money to spend vacationing.

Tiny living is not for everyone, and even more so if you are over 6' tall. most furniture is designed for those people that height is not an issue with. Beds are designed to fit in small locations or set up with the headboard against the front end of the room

Bunk beds have been specially designed to fold up out of the way when not needed

bathrooms have at the most a sink, shower and toilet with enough room to stand in the shower to use the sink.
there are some units that have fold down desks

You can also have special supports installed in the wall so you can hang the flat screen TV

So yeah, know a little about the design of these things. figure that if you can fit it inside of an 8 1/2' x 20' area and conceivably make it usable, it can be done.

Having a tiny house would have a rent under $500 a month if any rent at all (compared to the average of $1990+ for a 2br in Massachusetts), plus they're built on trailers meaning you can travel with your home and/or have money to go on more vacations.

I struggle with depression and I'm slowly finding that I'm happier in nature than I am in an overpriced 720 sq ft condo.

There are also fifth wheels to look into if you happen to change your mind on a tiny house. There comfortable to live in, and you can take it anywhere with you!

It also eliminates a lot of superficial spending because you are in such a small space. A space that insanely small can get cluttered so quickly and easily that you think twice about every single purchase you make.
So maybe you come across an awesome sale on shoes where in an "average" living arrangement you would just go for it because omg what a deal, in a tiny house you would probably pass it by because where the fuck are you going to put 3 more pairs of shoes.
A lot of people who adopt the tiny house style of living are about cutting out things that aren't necessary and choosing to exist on just the essentials. A more simple kind of life, really.

Yeah exactly.
I was raised in a small home full of excess in a town full of affluence. The more you had, the better you appeared to be.

As I get older, I realize I already have everything I want, but I continue to buy because I have the space (even though I can't afford it.)

Less space=less "stuff" I don't need, and more money for myself to experience new places, things, and get back into college.

I'm trying to replace finding happiness in acquisition with happiness in experiences.
