Several months ago I was watching television one night and saw a spot on the new rage of tiny homes that is starting to grip the US and the world. The homes I saw looked like miniature homes with all the amenities we currently enjoy, except excess space. These tiny houses were only about 100 square feet more or less, that is less than the size of my family room.
Then today I see that Oprah has done a special on small houses so I do a little poking around. It seems you can but the plans for these small homes for less than $1000 from Tumbleweed Tiny House Co. Not only that, it seems that you can even get a book, Tiny Book of Tiny Houses
, that is all about the cute little homes.I think that these tiny homes are becoming so popular because they are billed out as being "green." That makes sense because you don't need an entire forest of trees for the wood nor do you need all the other materials you'd need to build a much larger home. The average size is around 100 square feet, they can fit just about anywhere, and some are even mobile. Peak your interest?
It peaked mine enough to perform some searches to gain some more understanding, I concluded that the buzz about these tiny houses is so popular there is even a blog about it.
Here are some examples of these small homes for your viewing pleasure. They are so cute!

These are so cute, and sweet. I cant imagine having a family in one, but if I was single, or retired, it would definately work.
I'd definitely love one too but I'd have to significantly downsize. Maybe starting with one as a get away home would be the right way to go?
