NEW IDEA OF AN OLD IDEA -- SMALL HOUSES

Recently I was sitting in my dentist's office, reading a popular magazine, when I hit upon a featured article on small houses. As I remember it said something like this -- forget McMansion's they are out of style. I thought -- great -- it's about time. All the resources that developers feed into such homes is beyond sanity.

The magazine's featured article had a tiny old house that a woman had restored to a cottage home. Again I thought--  great!  I really like this new -- old idea


So tonight as I write this post, I feel we might be headed in the right direction as far as housing. Small houses is an old idea -- one that saves natural resources.


As I travel around I spot small old houses that attract me to stop and take their photos. I have quite a nice collection of them now. The old house photo above was found in Garrard County, Kentucky.  Couldn't you imagine this cute house all trimmed in some lovely colors on a place in the country? Or even in a town/city? A great starter house or retirement house or even a small family house? Think of the trees you would save.


Found this blog online tonight -- it looks interesting -- you might want to check out its new tiny houses. -- Tiny House Blog
