    Smile Oprah's small spaces show

    Did anyone else watch Oprah today? I loved seeing how people live in such small spaces. I have always lived in spaces that were 1,000 square feet or less. These apartments and homes were very small though. I loved this one man's mini cabin on wheels. This one woman lived in a 250 sq. ft apartment. Then there was a 350 sq ft. "skinny" house. All of these places were so charming, and it gave me ideas for how I could maximize space and reduce the unnecessary in my own life.

    My smallest space was a studio ~600 sq ft. I loved that I could do so much with the space that I had. Right now I live in a place that's 900 sq. ft and it feels huge to me. I like that in smaller spaces it forces us to take a look at what we really need to live, and it helps reduce the clutter and keeps spending down, because you just don't have the room to store extra "stuff."

    I LOVED today's show! I was very inspired by what they did with their space and how grateful they were to have the space that they had. I thought it was a great show today. I also thought that all of the space savers that Nate brought on the show were neat. So cool!

    Naderbug, I think these little houses are so cute and charming. They are like "mini homes." I want to live in one, my fiance doesn't agree with me.

    Is there a link to the show online? Soon enough I'll be living in a space about 400 square feet and could use the help!

    I only watch Oprah when she does a "decorating" or "saving money" show....not my favorite. This was great-lots of ideas-my own house doesn't seem so small now and Nate is real easy on the eyes...
