Tiny House Living: Ideas For Building and Living Well In Less than 40

内容も表紙の写真のような写真がたくさん載っていたらいいなぁ期待して購入しましたが、 ネットで落ちている写真もあったり、 一番良い写真は表紙だったのでは？？。 という印象でした。もちろん個人的感想です。

I am fascinated with tiny or small house living. This is now one of my favorite books. Great pictures and ideas. A small or tiny house must be less than 1000 square feet to me, and I favor 650 to 850 square feet. I think that's the first thing to learn ... what constitutes a small or tiny home to you. For me I need a reasonable bedroom, comfortable living room, kitchen with breakfast nock, full bathroom, and ... here's the biggy ... an office. Even if that office is only 9x9, I need it! That meant I needed a minimum of 650 square feet and really 900 square feet could prove excessive. That surprised me. In fact I reevaluated my total space and made several important decisions not only regarding space but things I wanted or needed in my living space. No, I don't have a small house nor will I be moving any time soon. In fact I have a great old California craftsman that totals nearly 2,000 square feet. But there's only me and my large dog and two cats. And I work and live on the premises. For the first time I realized I could physically afford a roommate. But the great thing about reading this book and others on small or tiny homes is that I am using my space so much more effectively and green. I've learned a lot. In fact I've redesigned my bedroom, kitchen and bathroom ... next is my office. I was surprised with what small changes I could make and enjoy the space so much more. I questioned why I was keeping furniture that actually didn't suit my habits. For example I have a solid oak school teacher's desk I was thrilled to find 20 years ago. But what do I use it for? Well, I'm not getting rid of it ... my first thought. But I am getting rid of two other pieces of furniture in my office to better use the desk and give me more floor space for an Ikea "rocking" chair which has proved a necessity for reading long works. Finally I think this book helped me see different ways to live in my space as one example is a small home with lots of art. That example meant a lot to me. All these books made me stop looking at total space and turn to living space. I really don't live in a lot of space but the space I live in needs to suit me and support my creativity and living style.

👌

Whether you are looking for ideas, want to be informed or just want to save space, this is informative and interesting. The contents are well presented and little highlites are thrown in to keep you reading. Great value.

Libro ben fatto e con molte illustrazioni. Purtroppo solo in lingua Inglese Avrei preferito una copertina rigida per preservare il libro.
