living small, living well

Much of what is built today is on such a large scale that the human element is almost totally lost. Smaller spaces can not only be cozy, but also beautiful, practical and fun to live in.

How much space do you really need to live well? How much of what you have actually enriches your life and how much of it just ties you down and requires dusting?

I hope this blog to be a travelogue, if you will, of things and ideas that inspire me to reexamine the way I think about living small and living well.

(Part 1 of 3)

If you don’t know me, which are perhaps most of you, you should know that you could easily consider my first love to be Legos. And like all first loves, it is a love that will never be forgotten. I first saw these images in the current issue of Dwell, and also online at www.thecoolhunter.net. This is hardly my aesthetic, nor is it something I would ever do, but I like the idea of thinking in new and different ways and I love how Legos, perhaps more than any other toy, continually inspires creativity in people of all ages. That is something to never undervalue or over look.
