That being said, a well planned and organized home could be any size you want as long as you know what you are getting into. This is their idea of the perfect getaway cottage.

On the final page I understood. The only books in the house were eight airport novels, neatly stacked on the two steps of a low library stool. I felt sorry for the library stool.Chookiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07230973711859964063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143843667296816868.post-74198380077785652142011-07-03T03:59:35.503-04:002011-07-03T03:59:35.503-04:00As we've just added on a couple of rooms, my a...As we've just added on a couple of rooms, my answer would be NO! But a well-planned small space is going to be easier to 'live small' in, of course. In a holiday house you don't need room for lots of groceries and meals tend to be simple (or eaten out). Ditto for clothes and toys.Chookiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07230973711859964063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143843667296816868.post-75492184473325165492011-07-03T00:17:03.403-04:002011-07-03T00:17:03.403-04:00You're Canadian Brenda, I thought you'd be...You're Canadian Brenda, I thought you'd be made from sturdier stock. :)Paul Anaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05777487147630173644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143843667296816868.post-39633616178710816312011-07-02T20:44:41.955-04:002011-07-02T20:44:41.955-04:00Fine IF the weather was accommodating, otherwise I...Fine IF the weather was accommodating, otherwise I feel it could quickly turn into a nightmare with a husband and two kids underfoot ..... and we cannot forget about the dog. :) -Brenda-mrsbenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13490065292054880863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143843667296816868.post-10026832983267874572011-07-02T17:30:16.468-04:002011-07-02T17:30:16.468-04:00It's probably warmer in Utah than it is in Fin...It's probably warmer in Utah than it is in Finland.

It feels small, but not tiny. It's small enough that I have to shop thoughtfully and not bring home "stuff."<br /><br />I love the idea of living small and would enjoy a tiny vacation home like this.

I like living in a home that makes me think before I make a purchase. Anything I buy has to have a place and the usual bargain I strike is that I have to get rid of something old to accommodate something new.<br /><br />The only thing that gives me trouble is books. I'm a heavy reader and I hang onto the books I read. I see them as trophies of a sort. I've been here for more than ten years and my living and bedrooms look like a poorly organized used book store.<br /><br />That's OK, my books make me feel smart.Paul Anaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05777487147630173644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143843667296816868.post-89246727927725156442011-07-02T08:40:08.397-04:002011-07-02T08:40:08.397-04:00I am blogging about a 650 sq. ft. house next week,...I am blogging about a 650 sq. ft. house next week, and I thought it was small!

Shhh don't tell, but sometimes my family gets on my nerves, and I need a little alone time. Tough to do in 150sqft when it's hailing outside. <br /><br />Heck for that matter, downsizing from my 240sqft kitchen would be tough.<br /><br />That's a pretty impressive use of space, though!
