Weekend Planning: Future Home

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1t/home4_zpse3bf3fe1.png" /><br /><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">We haven't officially signed the lease, but Thomas have found the home we hope to live in after we're married next summer. I don't have any pictures of the house yet since I've only seen the inside via a video tour directed by Thomas--although I did see the outside last time I visited him. It's cute and the location is ideal and I'm excited to live there despite the fact it is around 250 square feet in size! Yep, Thomas and I will be living in a "tiny house" (although our house was made before that term/movement existed). This decision has spurred me reading various blogs on small home living and even watching a documentary on the subject on Netflix (more reading and book suggestions are <i>very</i> welcome). While I haven't exactly been living in the lap of luxury and I have several housemates, it will still be a very big adjustment to move into a home about the size of a loft apartment in New York. But we're excited for the challenge--we like the idea of making our space functional and avoiding excessive clutter and honestly the house is so cute itself there's no way we could resist...Anyway, now that we've chosen a home it's the exciting time of talking about paint colors, what we need, what we want to make, and so on. Since Thomas and I are usually long distance I've been collecting inspiration on <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/theclotheshorse/home-ideas/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a> or dog-earing pages in books and showing them to him every night via Skype. It's just another thing on my list of stuff I really wish I could start working on, but can only plan from a distance right now...</div><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1t/home8_zpsef056d54.jpg" /><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1t/home6_zps5759555a.jpg" /><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1t/home7_zpsc2255695.jpg" /><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1t/home2_zps946e73a8.jpg" /><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1t/home1_zps10ca08fe.jpg" /><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1t/home5_zps4f34d51a.jpg" /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://projectwosho.tumblr.com/post/88279908210/anyone-looking-to-have-a-tiny-house-vacation-in" target="_blank">1</a> / <a href="http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/a-gallery-of-bohemian-bedrooms-210895" target="_blank">2</a> / <a href="http://www.hervegoluza.com/DECORATION" target="_blank">3</a> / <a href="http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/bored-with-your-bathroom-add-a-little-art-208392" target="_blank">4</a> / <a href="http://littlegreennotebook.blogspot.com/2014/08/the-library-bookshelves.html" target="_blank">5</a> / <a href="http://fallfordiy.com/blog/2014/09/29/diy-paint-dipped-picture-frames/" target="_blank">6</a> / <a href="http://www.whatisblik.com/shop/explore/hole-to-another-universe" target="_blank">7</a></div></div>
