ReplyDeleteOh my! Her little bungalow is adorable! I don't think I could minimize enough to do it though, but good on her!
ReplyDeleteAw, I love this!
ReplyDeleteHow interesting, it really is tiny!
ReplyDeleteI understand her thinking. Bravo to doing it. To me, it's all up to your attitude. You can do anything you want to do.
ReplyDeleteIt's a dream of mine to own one of these amazing little houses on a trailer, what a great thing to be able to move your home anywhere :)
