Tiny Houses are all the Rage!

Can you imagine living in less than 100 square feet??  That is what is offered in one version of the tiny house by the Tumbleweed Tiny House Co.

Many homeowners are now bucking the trend of the “McMansion” and are choosing to reduce their “living foot print”.   Some have even taken it a step further by choosing to live in what is known as a “tiny house”.

With less space to heat and cool, lower maintenance costs and certainly less to clean and polish, many home owners are opting are opting to downsize to this adorable jewel-box of a house.

Due to the small size tiny houses are not built on foundations, but on a trailer base similar to a mobile home.  However, they do offer a kitchen, bathroom and in some cases even a fireplace.  And, of course, there’s no need to sell when you are ready to change locations… your house can go with you!

This trend has, in fact, become so popular that a HGTV used the build out and decoration of a “tiny house” as the final challenge for the designers competing in the last season of “HGTV Design Star”
I’m not sure that I’m ready for a “tiny house” just yet, but with maintenance and utility costs on the rise it may start to look appealing before too long!   Read the whole story and see more pictures here>>
