About

Welcome to LiveSmallBeMore.blog, where we believe that a smaller footprint leads to a larger life. If you’re wondering who we are, we’re the folks who measure square footage with the enthusiasm that most people reserve for lottery winnings, and who can spot a clever storage solution from a mile away (which, coincidentally, is about 5,280 tiny houses lined up end-to-end)

Our Tiny Beginnings

Our team came together through a shared obsession with proving that good things really do come in small packages. Some of us are former “McMansion” dwellers who traded walk-in closets for walk-through homes. Others are architectural enthusiasts who realized that designing for 200 square feet is infinitely more challenging (and rewarding) than working with 2,000.

We’ve combined our collective experiences, professional backgrounds, and occasional measurement mishaps to create the most comprehensive tiny house resource on the internet. And yes, we’ve all hit our heads on loft ceilings more times than we care to admit.

What We’re Building Here

Like a well-designed tiny house, nothing on LiveSmallBeMore.blog is wasted space. We’ve meticulously organized our content into 13 essential categories that cover every aspect of tiny living:

  • Tiny House Basics: For when you’re just dipping your toes into the tiny pond
  • Design & Architecture: Because squeezing a functional kitchen into 30 square feet takes genius-level creativity
  • Building Techniques: From foundation to rooftop (which are much closer together in our world)
  • Tiny House Types: Whether you’re team wheels, team foundation, or somewhere in between
  • Legal Considerations: Navigating the big world of small dwelling regulations
  • Communities: Finding your tribe of fellow small-space enthusiasts
  • Finances: Making cents of tiny house economics (see what we did there?)
  • Systems & Utilities: Solutions that make off-grid actually work
  • Lifestyle Adaptations: Embracing minimalism without maximal sacrifice
  • Land & Placement: Finding the perfect spot for your not-so-spot-consuming home
  • Buying & Selling: Navigating the unique tiny house marketplace
  • Maintenance: Keeping your tiny abode in tip-top shape
  • Brands & Reviews: Honest assessments of products, builders, and services

Why We’re Obsessed With Tiny

We firmly believe that living small represents something bigger than just an architectural trend. It’s about challenging the notion that more space equals more happiness. It’s about reducing environmental impact while maximizing life experiences. It’s about spending less time cleaning and more time living.

Of course, we’re also the kind of people who get unreasonably excited about clever drawer systems and dual-purpose furniture. We’ve been known to geek out over composting toilets at dinner parties (we’re working on our social skills, promise).

Our Approach to Tiny House Content

Our content strategy is much like a tiny house design – efficient, purposeful, and leaving no space unused. We combine practical knowledge with real-world experience, technical specifications with livability insights.

We’re committed to presenting both the sunshine and rain of tiny living. Yes, we’ll show you the Instagram-worthy tiny spaces, but we’ll also tell you about the realities of climbing a ladder to bed after a long day, or how to handle unexpected guests when your entire house is smaller than most living rooms.

For Every Tiny House Explorer

Whether you’re:

  • A curious beginner wondering if 400 square feet is really enough (spoiler: it is)
  • A DIY builder trying to figure out how to squeeze plumbing into seemingly impossible spaces
  • A family contemplating the transition from sprawling suburban life to compact living
  • A sustainability advocate looking to minimize your carbon footprint while maximizing your life quality

We’ve got resources tailored to your specific needs, questions, and tiny house dreams.
