Dreaming and more dreaming. Just for kicks (and to get a true perspective) we taped off an 11x23 ft (internal dimensions of the house) rectangle in our living room. Yes, our new house would fit in our living room!!

So, here is it. From the line that Little Man is crawling to the wall behind the tree is 11 ft....from the windows to about where I took the pic from is 23 ft. Our entire living space will be in that area with 2 sleeping lofts. I love to see it, but it is kinda scary. Can we do it? Can we truly live in a space that small with 2 kids without driving each other batty? It will be an adventure, that is for sure! I can't wait to get started, to do something more complex than just tape on the floor ;)

Yeah, I am obviously not the best at keeping up with a blog. But before I only had dreams, far away dreams. Now I have dreams that are MUCH closer. We have new plans. We are going to build a tiny house. Currently the plan is a 12x24 gambrel style house with 2 sleeping lofts. We will get one loft, the kids in the other. Downstairs will be kitchen, living, dining, and a full bathroom. Interior space will be 11x23....making it a total of 253 sq ft (not counting the lofts). I am SO excited! Right now we are in the planning stages. We are trying to work out the little details like what style stairs will we have and bigger details such as should we use 2x6's or 2x8's in the floor.

This is going to be an adventure! I plan to keep a really good list of what everything costs along the way and good pictures of progress. I "will" blog about it! I want to inspire! I want to show that it IS possible to live in a tiny house, even if you do have kids!

Speaking of kids....Boo is now 2.5 and Little Guy is almost 1! Man, where is the time going?? Here is a pic of the cuties.
