I have recently become fascinated by the Tiny House Blog, and the tiny house movement in general. It is very, very appealing to me to have a very tiny house (less than 1,000 square feet, but usually around 500 square feet or less). It is total rebellion against the consumerist lifestyle. You cannot have any useless junk laying around, you simply don’t have any room for it.

Oh man, that sounds like heaven.

The more junk I get rid of from my house, the more the rest of it begins to look suspect. Disposable plastic toys. Clothes I haven’t worn in years. Extraneous kitchen appliances. And all of it wrapped in miles and miles of extra trash packaging.

The tiny houses on that blog are great. They come in more varieties than you can imagine: from rustic, to modern, from log cabins, to gypsy wagons. From houses made from old storage containers, to houses made of mud and straw. Some are totally self-sufficient off the grid. Some are on wheels. The only thing in common, is that they are all tiny.

One day I will have a tiny house, mark my words!
