As a follow-up to yesterday’s post about people converting small backyard sheds into homes, I saw this article today on the CNN.com site: The Incredible Shrinking House.

Out on the range is the last place you would expect America’s long-running obsession with big houses to be laid to rest.

But four years ago Rachel Odom, an Oklahoma City home builder, began constructing an exclusive development where houses average just 1,800 square feet. That’s far smaller than the homes of up to 6,000 square feet that her company had been building until then - and nearly 500 square feet smaller than the national average for new construction.

I love spotting a trend! Country Home magazine just did a makeover of a little house, according to Small Space Style. With clever storage ideas and beautiful colors, the 929- square foot house is astonishingly gorgeous.

If I had two years and with an unlimited budget, I would never be able to pull this off. Hats off to the designer!
