Home Sweet Home
I've been watching the crap out of Tiny Houses on YouTube, which includes permanent houses (I have that bed), mobile houses on trailers, refurbished school buses ("skoolies"), RVs and vans, creative apartment designs, multipurpose Tetris furniture, amazing designs, and traveling castles.
In the middle of all these videos, I came across this guy with his 5 kids in a small condo. Interestingly enough, he's running for city council in Vancouver. His biggest platform is city living for family and the deconstruction of suburban sprawl.
I was also sent this article denouncing the open concept great room, which seems kind of fitting with some of the tiny house mindsets.
Funny enough, I picked out a random audiobook while awaiting other books I have on hold to become available. It's called The Bookshop on the Corner, and I picked it out after reading only the first info paragraph without knowing much more. The heroine goes from city dwelling to urban farm dwelling, living in a barn that's been converted into a cottage with a refurbished van she turns into a traveling bookstore. It's interesting in it's ability to role-combine (as opposed to role-reversal) the mindset of urban living + travel van.
