I then got sucked into watching videos and reading up on tiny houses and apartments online. I live in a studio and often complain about needing more space but now I feel silly complaining. I just need to make better use of my living space. I've been on tinyhousetalk.com all day. I'm really fascinated by how much use people can get out of small spaces.

Boston blackout and tiny living spaces
I unexpectedly had the day off of work today due to a power outage in the Back Bay area of Boston, which is where I work. There was a transformer fire and the power has been off in the area since last night. I slept in, watched some tv and cleaned out my closet, which I've been meaning to do for a while now.

I am fascinated with people who can live in such small areas. There is a reason you never see those people on Hoarders.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking about Hoarders and how tiny living would be their nightmare.
DeleteIt's really quite amazing how little space you actually need. In general I think big houses are overrated in this country. I'd MUCH rather have a small space in the city than a huge house and a huge yard in the middle of nowhere. There is so much more to do nearby. It's so much easier to clean and maintain. And the lack of space is a good motivator to not buy lots of unnecessary stuff.
ReplyDeleteThis site has a lot of cool videos of small living spaces:

very true Charlie. I agree.
DeleteI love that site!
Does your apartment feel huge now? Although, it might be worth a view like that.
ReplyDeleteIt really does! I can't believe I was complaining before.
DeleteHehe, I love this. I just stumbled upon your blog (NEW Follower!) I have written something about my tiny apartment recently too... COINCIDENCE! http://skylarkingnanny.blogspot.fr/2012/03/one-where-i-over-share.html
ReplyDeleteWe probably waste all our small spaces and I like to use the floor as my wardrobe. I am campaigning to my other half for a bigger house. Eek!
Love Elle xo
Thanks for being a follower :)
ReplyDeleteeven if I use the floor of the closet as a wardrobe it's still in the closet at least.
