Macy Miller is an architect from Idaho that had a BIG dream about a tiny house. She had always wanted a place of her own, but the thought of a mortgage sickened her after she lost her home to foreclosure after getting divorced. So, her dream revolved around building a compact, but beautiful home. For two years, Macy worked on the 196 square-foot home, dedicating her free time to building the small paradise. Finally, construction has finished on her little hideaway
and its hard not to be jealous of this place, no matter how small it looks on the outside. After all, it only cost about $11,000.

A Little Weird
(1,754 posts)I'm always fascinated by tiny homes. They seem like such a good idea and would force you to cut down on the "stuff" that just sort of accumulates over the years. But just like with a mobile home, I would be afraid of getting blown away by a tornado. Maybe they don't have to worry about those much in Idaho.
