It thrills me that there are websites that celebrate the small space, and architects who do likewise.
Here in the land Down Under, newly built homes are, on average, the largest in the world.
Meanwhile, my family is living in the 1950s. We've got a classic double-brick 'austerity' home plopped on a big, flat block of suburban land, sans cellar and attic. If you search "classic Australian 1950s house", Google will find you an image not only from my city, but within several blocks of my house.
So while other Aussies may pore over the latest home deco mags and ponder ways to fill the vastness of their dream homes, I look at the late-Deco era ceiling rose in my living room and contemplate the true meaning of the word 'streamline'.
I love small spaces. I just need to learn to live in one.
This is another blog...fascinating in that it's dedicated to TINY HOUSES. It's hard for me to envision, as living with teenagers and massive dogs is my life, but I'm incredibly attracted to it.
