Random thoughts on Tiny Homes
I have been doing a lot of research on Tiny Homes and trailer living. I miss my small spaces, and really enjoyed living in one. I am curious as to how small I could actually go, and I really believe that nothing smaller than 200 sq ft would work for me. I have some things I am sentimentally attached to, and I do like decorating a little for the seasons, which means I would need storage. I need my books, or at least a small space for keepers and a space for rotators. And at this point, I would want a home I could travel with. However, I am not sure how travel-worthy Tiny Homes are. They are definitely not very arrow-dynamic, so hauling them down a road long distances might be worse gas mileage wise than a trailer. I don't know. Haven't looked into the details yet. I am enjoying pinning ideas and pictures on my Tiny Home board on Pintrest. Lots of great ideas even for everyday rooms.
I loved the size of my 244 sq ft apartment in Snoqualmie. The thing I didn't like about it was that it had only one window, so I could not get a through breeze. I loved the high ceilings, and those allowed me to do a lot more with the space, making it very livable. My 350 sq ft apartment in Vernonia was like a mansion, and I would never need any more space than that. Especially if I designed the interior to fit my needs. That would be fabulous!
Something else I have been wondering about is why trailers are so much more expensive than tiny homes, and why the people who design them have not caught onto the tiny home idea for interior design. What do I mean? Well, simply every RV and Trailer I have looked like is tacky colors and patterns. It's like something my grandma's mom would have loved, but not someone like me. Big, cheesy mauve and grey fabric with matching wall boarders and ugly draw pulls? No, thank you.
Anyways, just something I have been thinking about.
