Tiny homes

Ignoring their lack of insulation, I really like some of these:

They make our < 900 sqft house seem like a mansion.

Honestly though, I'm growing to like smaller space living a lot. It's amazing how much clutter we accumulate in our lives. We've shed a lot of stuff in the past year and so far I've not really missed any of it. Most of the things I've let go of, I don't even recall what they were. Just that I once had a lot more stuff. Funny thing is, I know of many more things that I can reduce or let go of. The biggest ones for me are using up art supplies (and I mean stuff that's been sitting around for > 5 years, waiting to be used) and books. I won't ever let go of all my books but I've been getting more things from the library instead of the bookstore and when I get stuff at the bookstore, I try to take some things back to sell as well.
