Woman content living in 84-sq. ft. dream home
There are so many reasons why I love this:
- space-efficient: it’s only 84 square feet [my current studio is approx. 172 square feet and I thought it was tiny!]
- cheap: it cost $10,000 to build
- green: she built it using recycled materials and her utility bill is barely non-existent
- minimalistic: she’s less materialistic because she has nowhere to store extraneous things
- debt-free: not having a mortgage must be an awesome feeling
- romantic: she can watch stars and the rain fall outside of her loft window at night, awww
I think the primary underlying reason why I find this particular size of home appealing though, is because it alludes to my childhood love of cubbyhouses and small dark caves, and general feelings of safety and warmth I remember from sitting in my own precarious constructions of carefully balanced couch cushions and blankets.
Another example of a tiny house:

I’m seriously going to build one of these for my first teenage child one day. I really think I can do it.
