Jessica Helgerson kept popping up.  I'm sure its happened to you too, you love a whole lot of images and realise later they are all by the same person.  I love that her designs look lux, but not precious, layered without to much polish.  And of all her images I love, these ones of her holiday home Tiny House are my favourite.  This is my dream retreat.

A few favourite things, its tiny - one room across and only a few rooms long - but it looks full of space.
It cost less than $400k to build - wow!  It has a green roof (moss & ferns) - high on my dream list.  
It has a loft bedroom - dibs on that! - and built in bunks.
It has a library - no computers or tv in sight!
Its white, its bright, its simple, its perfect.  I want one...All photos by Lincoln Barbour via Jessica Helgerson.

A friend of mine has had me thinking about furniture layouts for smaller living spaces, with fewer, larger pieces of furniture, investment pieces to use in a future home.

So I am thinking - dining table doubles as console or desk.

Works as eating space for two.  Pull table clear and place chairs all around when more people come over.  What do you think?  Any ideas?
