Tiny houses are becoming more and more popular and it’s easy to see why. Many of them are beautifully designed and the simplicity they offer can be a nice change from a large house. Do you think you could give it all up and live in one of these tiny houses?

I’ve become fascinated with tiny houses lately and it started with the show Tiny House Hunters.  I love International House Hunters so when I stumbled across this new version, I stopped to check it out.  In one of the first episodes I watched, a couple with four children wanted to move into one of these tiny houses.  Even the realtor was shocked when they ended up moving into a house that was approximately 700 square feet!  I can see two people doing living comfortably in a place like that, but a family of 6 (did I mention that one was a teenager)?  I would actually love a follow up show to see how that worked out for them

That being said, my hubby and I were perfectly happy in our 850 square foot high rise condo years ago…we even had a baby and continued to live there until she was 3 (though having just one bedroom made it tricky).  Eventually we knew we needed a bigger space and moved into a house but honestly, if it were just the two of us we could have lived there indefinitely.  I think that’s why this trend has taken off and become so popular.  They’re so cute and I love checking out the innovative space saving ideas that usually come along with them!  Plus, less house means less cleaning, right? Here are some of my favorite tiny houses…
