Today was an exciting one for me and the tiny house. A Canadian reporter named Tim interviewed me for a story about small houses. It will probably be a short video that includes information about several people living little. I’m camera shy so I don’t think I need 15 minutes of fame. Fifteen seconds sounds just right to me. But also I’m excited to spread the word about how cool it can be to live in a small space, so I hope he got something that will be useful. After our interview Tim and I headed up to Rocky Butte since it was a beautiful day and he was hoping to get some footage of Portland that could be used by his news station. The view from the hilltop wasn’t great because of the treetops in the way, but he was pleased with some footage of Mt. Hood.
Here’s the video featuring me and the tiny house I’m living in!
Dee has built her own home. That was great to see. I would like to build myself a small home. I just need more space. I will wait to see how oehtrs are building larger small homes on wheel. I am a person who needs to be actively doing things. The small house does not allow space to do anything. I am happy that the trend is catching on. Small beginnings are leading to better and better design. Perhaps a taller upstairs and a sofa bed can help utilize the space better. I am an interior designer. I am constantly looking a ways to use built-in components along with small functional kitchen and bath designs within smaller spaces. I agree that we are a nation of over consumers. Our needs are not as great as we think they are. I will be keeping up with this growing industry. Best wishes on the new business venture of the small house construction company. Perhaps more of us can become home owners.
Hi Hitomi,
Thanks for your interest in small spaces. In my experience good interior design is critical to space-efficient living. I totally agree that multi-functional furniture is a key component to making a small space more comfortable. Keep up the good work and keep me posted about your progress!
Sincerely,
Lina
