So what about you? Could you live the tiny house lifestyle?
The Tiny House Craze
I don't watch a lot of television, but when I do it is usually something news, food or home related. I flip through channels at night and have recently noticed a common thing; Tiny Houses. I assumed they meant lavish playhouses for kids. No, I was so wrong. Apparently there are many people downsizing their home for a version that is about 10% its size. The average American house size is 2,300 square feet and the tiny house size is roughly 230 square feet. I had to check out some different shows to see what it was all about.
People are getting these homes either custom built or looking one in a specific location and they range from around 100 sq ft- 400 sq feet. You have people buying a house the size of a storage shed! I can't imagine it. Some of the homes are very luxurious on a teeny-tiny level and others very rustic.
I personally could never do it. I saw one episode of Tiny House Hunters where a family of 6 went from a 3,000 sq ft home down to 400 sq ft. NO. No, no NO! I can't imagine that at all! I understand that people are trying to live mortgage or debt-free, but sheesh. I don't want to have people all in my personal space. It is certainly not something I would ever desire for myself. There's only so much family bonding one can take.
So what about you? Could you live the tiny house lifestyle?

I do the same thing you do.lol I rarely watch much in tv with a few fave shows here and there like CSI. Most likely yo'll find me on the cooking channel or HGTV. I haven't seen anything about tiny houses, but it's interesting that people can go from a large house to teeny tiny, especially when you have kiddos. I wouldn't want to with kids, but maybe if it was just me and my guy, then yes as long as it was somewhere by the beach.
ReplyDeleteA tiny house would be great for a weekend getaway, especially since they all tend to have a very rustic feel and I love that. However, I like having my space as well. My mom is totally hooked on the idea that she could live in a tiny house which is the funniest thing to me since she's a bit of a hoarder and loves to shop!
ReplyDeleteWow, I have not seen these. There is no way I could live in it by myself, let alone a whole family!
