Like tiny spaces? Like blogs? Visit Small House Style…

]]> Well you know I do love me some small spaces, and accordingly I bookmarked a blog I found, Small House Style, a while back. Then promptly forgot about it (as I’m known to do). I recently went back for a look, and it’s so very cool. Actually, it looks a little like a website, not a blog, but I’m guessing blog because you can comment (if you look hard enough). Secondly, it’s got some weird lags between updates – I’m talking weeks. But blogs are a work in process so it’s a-ok.

Also, take away the bad, and you still have a whole lot of good, because there are small houses galore for you to enjoy. They’ve covered basics like Tumbleweed, other killer small space designers like ARCHTEAM, who I love, and there are even some things I’ve never, ever seen before like Arvesund’s small Hermit’s Cabin. LOOK:

Awesome little space.

Visit Small House Style to see many more small structures. Bonus – lots of small space resources.

Tumbleweed Tiny House Company Benefits & Video

]]> In the previous post I said I’d be back with more about Tumbleweed – so, here I am. The benefits of owning and living in such a small home, are of course, huge. Well, unless you have a big family. Then, I suppose, you’d need a bunch lined up, caravan style.

Still, if you’re just one person or a couple, it’s manageable to live in a small space. Benefits include:

  • Mobile; in some cases.
  • Learning to live with less stuff. That equals a larger feeling of freedom and simplicity, which in turn can equal less stress.
  • Tiny costs associated with heating, water, etc. These are ideal for a solar power set-up.
  • Can (for experienced builders) take just 2-3 months to build.
  • Obviously the lack of materials and power it takes to build one of these small spaces is a huge perk to the planet’s well-being. You can even incorporate recycled and other green materials into the building process.
