The episodes featuring small space living are all the rage right now. In Oregon builders are taking up the challenge and a lot of houses are appearing in the Portland area. My question here is "How small is too small?"
What 100 square feet looks like. |
We live in a space that is 12 ft wide and approximately 35 feet long with an add on that is about 8 ft wide and 18 feet long. I really believe that this is the minimum that I am willing to live in for an extended period of time. The add on was just put on last year and I absolutely love it.
Here is what ours looks like:
This bedroom and the Arizona room (below) are now one big room. |
Our bedroom is very comfortable. We also have a TV in this room. |
The bathroom is small, clean and perfect for us. |
Kitchen backsplash was updated last year. We are replacing our dishwasher that sits near the sink and stove. |
This niche over the dining table had glass doors. We removed them and painted the interior. The wall have all been repainted too. |
My husband built the front porch where we dine most days. |
We are very lucky that we have three outdoor spaces. This is at the side and we have another in the back. |
The exterior of our park model (below) is not good. We will replace windows this year. I want it to look like this one (above) featured on HGTV |
This small space even has room for my computer and a printer. The stool serves as extra seating when we have guests. |

I look at your small space and long for mine! We fly to Tucson a week from Friday. It is quite cold here in Seattle.
ReplyDeleteI like to stay in portland and have a little cold weather. It seems the value of all this warm weather increases a lot. The air is cool but the sun is so intense.
