I'm about to embark on building a tiny house this summer. We have done a lot of planning and a lot of learning so far (this is our first major building project).

The more I think about the space, the more I realize how minimalist I will have to be. I have been pairing down my possessions over the last couple of years already. But I think I will have to take my minimalism to another level in order to not feel too confined in our new small space.

As another response mentioned, costs will add up surprisingly fast. We were surprised when we got our plans and started adding up the costs of building supplies. We've pivoted a little bit and will be sourcing a lot of materials free/used from our community.
