I don't know why but I like watching tiny homes on Netflix. it's so soothing and pretty to look at. My man says to me, why do I like that stuff?? he will never get one of those. And i'm like I dunno. There's something so relaxing about the organization of homes and every nook and cranny is situated in such a tiny cute space and so economical too. saves $ $ and you don't move around much I know.



look at this...so adorable!

I like learning about tiny homes too!

I like to be efficient with my use of space, so even though I don't want to live in a house that's as small as some of these are (I'd feel too cramped not being able to walk about as freely indoors), there are great ideas for how to minimize belongings and improve use of space that can benefit people in homes of all sizes.

My house is just over 700 square feet, one story. Even if I had the money to have a larger home built, I wouldn't. Instead I would put money into maximizing the use of space in my home with things like built-ins (popular in Arts & Crafts homes in the early 1900s) and fold down/up tables and that sort of thing.

yes!! you get me. lol

I too like to be efficient with my use of space. yeah don't get me wrong I wouldn't want a tiny home. Even though I like watching these shows. I think it's great to have for a summer vacation house. but then my husband would tell me me, no fucking way,if you want a summer house in the countryside, then get a decent sized one. lmao. *smh* he wants room.

I do know from the cost of a tiny home it's very very affordable. easily to get.

my neighbors are like that, they love to build cabinets and new cupboards all over their home. we can hear them hammering and drilling away. lol

lol @bad feng shui.

there's really not much room to do much for the space they got. but it looks very decent and cozy.

I think personally it's good for folks who go out a lot. and just go home to sleep. or work outside their house a lot, like a flight attendant, or truck driver.

in one of the episodes of the show, this couple, both were firefighters, and the guy was HUGE, big tall guy. and it was awkward to watch him look around the tiny home with his girlfriend, and he was like, "whatever makes you happy honey" kind of thing. but of course he had input. because there was also no space for him to sleep in and get up when he tried out the bed loft upstairs. lol

this was the lady but I saw the episode BEFORE she bought the house.

I knew Robyn and Copper would be here.

My best friend has the smallest space to live in that you will ever see. He used his savings from his first job to buy this space behind a bar and reconvert it from a derelict piece of square feet into something very liveable now.

The best part is it opens out onto a private square in the back where all the buildings are connected. You can just sit in the square and have a meal together under the sun, surrounded by neighbours without it being invasive. It feels very connected and really comfortable atmosphere.
that sounds very private and not bad for a single male bachelor on his own. I bet he's probably saving money still.

Summer tiny house would be perfect! Too bad your husband isn't into it. Great way to enjoy one but not be 100% dependent on the small space.

The prices of them are very appealing for sure.

Cool about your neighbours. Maybe not about the noise they make, haha, but great that they have the skills to build what they envision. 🙂
