The
dinner table is shown above, sporting all homemade
furniture from an era when I time to do such things
(did not own a computer back then...).
When we have friends for dinner, often a challenge
in this cabin, we stick the kids at the breakfast
bar and squeeze up to 5 adults around this table.
But entertaining large groups within these 4 walls
are not an option. Obviously we save bigger occasions
and potlucks for the warm months when we can lounge
on the deck.
Living on a tiny scale like this, no matter how
you look at it, is somewhat anti social, and not
the best choice for people who love playing host.

Castings wood stove. Read more about heating

Built
in furniture like this rudimentary couch platform
really saves space. You can dimension them to fit
in odd unused nooks, or make them to specific custom
sizing.
Here we needed to shoehorn a comfy lounger in between
the stairs and the wall. Space was severely restricted,
yet it turned out quite aggreably.
There was even room for two doggie beds underneath.
Lacking
any architectural software of real value, I created this
floorplan with Macromedia FreeHand, a vector based drawing
program.
