Have you heard of the tiny house movement?

Over the last several decades, houses had been increasing in square footage until a recent trend that has gone the other way. House sizes are often now shrinking in size. You may have heard of the Tiny House Movement that is attracting lots of attention from celebrities and the hoi polloi alike. Small homes free us from such large financial obligations and from the clutter that we tend to surround ourselves with. See how it can work for you.
