Architecture Wednesday

Carlos and I like small houses, but somehow we ended up in Smallville with a house that's nearly twice as big as our house in Miami.

And sometimes I miss the smaller house.

The Miami house was less to clean and maintain. And it was easier for me to yell from the backroom and have Carlos here me.

I've often wondered about downsizing, after our brief period of upsizing, and then I saw this:

It's a small [read: tiny....hell, microscopic] wooden house in California.

It’s tiny but very cozy and traditional. White walls and natural wood is one of the most traditional combinations.

A fireplace and a library.

The kitchen is retro, and wee.

This house belongs to a woman who is both a hermit and strongly religious. It does have that monastery, or nunnery, sterility, but, with it's calm interior it does seem very peaceful.

In this house I wouldn't have to yell at Carlos from the backroom. i could probably just reach out and poke him.
