Have you ever considered adding more videos to your blog posts to keep the readers more entertained? I mean I just read through the entire article of yours and it was quite good but since I'm more of a visual learner

We are hibernating here in East TN. Have the wood stove stuffed and going. Plan on working on my braided rugs. Hubby is making hiking sticks. We are looking forward to moving to Bull Shoals Lake. Our cabin plans are 30 x 50 w/loft. One bathroom. Everyone keeps telling us that is strange. We say hold it or pee off the porch when visiting LOL! we have 2 baths now and never use the claw foot tub. We want to be mostly off the grid and plan to grow most of our own veggies. Say a pray everyone we want to sell our place here and move to where family resides in N. Arkansas. So glad I found your website. It's great

Very cool, Mickie! It sounds as if you planned it all out very well. We don't have as many built ins as I would like, but I would like to remedy that someday.
Welcome to Living Large, please come by again!

I live in a very small space also and found that having the furniture built to serve many uses is vital. For instance, The footboard of the bed is built to face out and is the closet with space in the bottom for linens, blankets & towels. Also the headboard stores the books, photos, etc. with a reading (night) light built in. The dish drainer is above the sink and is a 3 tier so water drains into the sink below and the dishes are stored in a very small space. The Kitchen and bath are both outside. This works since I live in a warm climate (Ecuador). Cubbies everywhere are great for shoes, clothes, meds, hair supplies and other grooming aids. The shower is built with lots of "tiny" shelves to set things on and even to hang towels and clothes on. Even a built-in seat for dressing. The wall outside is great for everything.

Patricia, Good luck on your home project! If you haven't already, you might want to check out this article in Mother Earth News, http://www.motherearthnews.com/Modern-Homesteading/Little-House-Living-Tips.aspx
which shows my writing studio. We put in a tall cathedral ceiling in there as I wanted them beamed. I wish we would have done that in The Little House as it does make the whole thing seem much bigger.

My husband and I are also looking forward to a move to the woods. Our hopes include a timberframe with the soaring ceilings. Your blog has challenged me to seek a smaller footprint, but I can't see giving up the 'head room'. This will be a fun endeavor to try to design as small and efficient a plan as you have without wasting space!

Thanks for finding Living Large and stopping in, Merry. Oh, I LOVE crockpot cooking. I didn't do the roast on NYE in the crockpot as I was busy with some assignments and forgot to put it in on time! I did a post on my crockpot back in September, I think. Please feel free to browse around the archives. I hope you come back!
