Not exactly a tiny room, but with my desk and bed I have very little floor space, and I hate that as there's no room to do anything. I've been sleeping on the floor (carpet) to see if I could do it and it's not so bad but I do definitely miss having somewhere I can lounge when needed.

I'm fine with something that can easily be folded up when needed. For this reason I was looking at pull-out or sleeper sofas but I'm not too sure as I see conflicting reviews about how comfortable they actually are. I prefer a much firmer mattress than most as well. I'm a single person so it doesn't need to be anything massive. My last bed was a queen and it was definitely way too big for my space.

I was also looking into a roll-up Japanese style futon but those seem exorbitantly expensive when I'm not sure if I'd even be comfortable with one. Plus those are usually intended to be used on tatami, or at least floors harder than carpet.

What do you guys think?

I live in a studio apartment and i desperately need a new more comfortable loveseat that you can spend hours in thats also in the <$300 range durability, aesthetics, and pretty much all other factors other than these two are secondary

Does anyone have any good recommendations that meet those two criteria?

Hi everyone! I have already talked to my planning department and I am good to go there. I am allowed to build an ADU up to 750sq ft and max 12ft high. This will be going in my mom’s backyard so I can be close to her with her aging and health issues.

My question is can I buy an ADU that is already built and have it shipped and dropped in instead of building one? I apologize if I sound naive this is all new to me and very overwhelming! I am in Florida if that helps. Thanks in advance!

Hey guys - I need some help.

My family & I are downsizing - mainly to save costs, our lease is up, and life has changed.

We’re going from a 3/2 about 1600sq ft to a 3/1.5 about 1100sq ft.

My biggest concern is the one bath/shower for all of us. We’ve got my wife, me, 1yo, 7yo, 9yo & 10yo.

How the hell do we keep this shower together without trying to kill each other?

My wife and I are in our 70's and planning our living suite attached to our son's home. My wife would like to have a built in counter height oven with a left swing door. She REALLY wants a microwave drawer under the oven. I'm not finding many (should I say "any") options. Our budget is limited. Would love to learn from others!

Hello all, just had a question for everyone.

I live in south Texas, about an hour north of Houston. We currently own some land and are looking to build a small house on the property. We essentially can do whatever we want.

My question is: do you think we would be able to hire some framers and roofers to have a “shell” of a home built for around 25k? Home would roughly be 700 sq ft on pier and beam foundation (home used to be on property but was moved)

I can do everything else myself, or with the help of some friends. But I really don’t trust anyone but professionals doing the framing and the roof. Just wondering if it was possible, or if maybe anyone else has gone through something like this!

And I rather not have a prebuilt shell delivered, unless someone knows of a company that makes hurricane rated shells.

I am curious about people who live in small cabins in Canada...I was wondering if it is possible or if anyone here knows about owning a "recreational" rural cabin/lot and also living in an RV to travel in. It is illegal to have the rec property as your primary dwelling but what if you aren't living in it for half the year? does that still count? The rec rural properties are so much more afforadable and in much better locations but I also want to be able to travel for half the year in my Class C RV. Is this a legal set up? So curious. Do people have other ways of living small in Canada that isn't a constant hassle? Thanks!

Hello guys, i'm going to buy my first apartment in Milan and i have no ideas of how make it confortable.
The only sure thing is that i want an open space between zone B (living room - bathroom) and zone C (kitchen).
Hope to get some suggestion from you, thanks.

Anyone have recommendations on finding a builder? I am looking for find someone to build a small home (700-1000 sq ft) in North West Michigan, but cannot seem to find anyone who wants to build at that price/size range. All of my searching has been done via google and cold calling from there.
