"Loved this article. Laughed so hard I choked.Well, I live in just over 300 sq. ft. It is an actual house, with a foundation, a yard, more or less real plumbing, and a gas stove: city stuff, all the bells and whistles. I live here partly because I can afford it, and mostly because I really, really love this house. But, truth told, it is hard work to live this small. I have to make choices, lots of them, about everything I do or want to do here. My sewing machine lives where I could and probably should have had a tiny dining room. My art supplies are tightly crammed, however neatly and stylishly, behind my bed. Fortunately, my front door is insanely wide because, to make a real, functioning kitchen, I had to block part of it with shelves for my kitchen equipment. I refuse to live on herb tea alone. My closet, ah, well, let's not even think about that! Also, I have ended up with three small, crammed, intensely organized storage sheds for gardening equipment, fabric, and books. In real life, almost no one actually lives without \"stuff\". My house takes the planning of a military operation to clean, and I couldn't repaint now without moving out. I adore my house but living a real life in a tiny house takes thought, work, inordinate amounts of energy, and a lot of choices, sometimes serious choices about who I am and what I do. So think, people, think hard before jumping into tiny house living: why DO you want to do this?"
