10 AMAZING TINY HOUSES FOR FAMILIES


Have you heard of the tiny house movement? It’s been making quite a splash in the last few years as a new way to live more economically and sustainably. The basic premise is downsizing your living to a matter of just a few hundred square feet of space, typically 1000 square feet or less. It’s hard to imagine this as a family with kids, but there are lots of examples of families making this big life change and enjoying the rewards that come with living smaller. Take a look at these amazing tiny homes that offer up similar comfort, style and amenities as larger homes.
