Living with a brother, sister, Dad, Mom and a dog. We had only one bathroom and you did have to share the toilet:-) & a bedroom. We made it work. I'm not saying that we would have liked to raise you and your siblings in a tiny house, but am glad to hear that smaller homes, with a good use of space in their design, are becoming an option for those who want them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-348089778822259979.post-46242111765980071842015-02-17T14:29:17.307-08:002015-02-17T14:29:17.307-08:00You know I'm the worst with the sentimental ke...You know I'm the worst with the sentimental keepsakes, but really how much space do they take up vs the stuff we really and truly don't need? Like clothes we don't wear, books we don't read, toys we don't play with and the list goes on and on.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02415441318099576361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-348089778822259979.post-63098841178569648432015-02-17T14:25:36.311-08:002015-02-17T14:25:36.311-08:00I have to admit that the house in Little rock is p...I have to admit that the house in Little rock is pretty darn cute. I've always found that the hardest part of downsizing is getting rid of the stuff with sentimental value. The funny thing is though the only time that I look at this stuff is each time I consider purging my personal inventory. Which probably means I don't need it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17500815589484515852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-348089778822259979.post-25752215557284239042015-02-17T14:24:28.955-08:002015-02-17T14:24:28.955-08:00I could totally see you doing the tiny (or just li...I could totally see you doing the tiny (or just little) home thing.

I have never seen a reason to justify a house that is occupied by one or two people but has 1900 sq feet of space or more. But the mentality of the common person is 'bigger is better', when really its clear that it is not.<br /><br />My old place was small, but it had enough room for the necessary stuff and the family. But I opted to move to a larger place and all I have found is I have accumulated more stuff to fill thay space. If only I had the option of a tiny home, with one of those awesome loft bedrooms for serenity, when it was time to move.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03304749814885256918noreply@blogger.com
