Backyard Bungalow.

This house, featured today in The New York Times, is 84 square feet. It belongs to a woman named Dee Williams and it's located in a friend's backyard in Olympia. It's solar-powered but lacks a shower, and provides just enough space for its inhabitant's 300-odd belongings. But with so little to store - and a history of health problems - it's all she needs. Dee says, "Living in a little house made sense for me, it clicked. It gave me a chance to live close to my friends and be happy with the time that I have."

  2. Oh my! Her little bungalow is adorable! I don't think I could minimize enough to do it though, but good on her!

  4. I understand her thinking. Bravo to doing it. To me, it's all up to your attitude. You can do anything you want to do.
