I just found your site and will enjoy looking through all your goodies. My family is working toward building our own cob house in Texas and changing wasteful habits. Thanks for the encouragement your posts.

Colleen…
You make very good points! For me, looking at the lives of those living in “tiny houses” inspires me to make changes and simplify in my own life. And while right now, we do live in a very tiny space, I can certainly appreciate living in a home with space for all the things you mentioned. Everyone has different priorities for the “stuff” in their life. Some people live in climates where you can be outside year round and they don’t need as much space to have alone time.

I think the point to consider that that most people think they need a lot more space than they actually do. Life is not about the space you have, its’ about the people you’re with!

This is from someone who thinks family is very important! I have five kids and homeschool and garden. Homes like these just wouldn’t work in my circumstances. I’m all for simple living (we don’t live in an McMansion – what a waste). Where do you store the school books? Where do you store your canned goods — potatoes — onions? Where do you go in 15 below 0 weather for a little peace and quiet. NOT PRACTICAL.

PS Where do you store the BOOKS, the PIANO, The MOVIES, THE skis, THE skates, The Violin, The other instruments — all that makes life worth living!

Thanks for the link to that blog! I just spent a bunch of time looking through it. I used to go to school up in Eugene and there was a ceramics teacher there who taught a class about alternative building. She is a beautiful woman who always wears long skirts and boots and she taught her students to build from all sorts of materials. After the semester, outside the ceramics building there would be all these tiny little houses made of all sorts of materials. Her name was Sana (pronounced Sauna), if you are in Eugene for a while, you should stop by the ceramics building and see if she is still there!
