I've always been a fan of small houses. In small spaces, everything has a purpose, and everything is so easy to organize because you can't fit much in there to clutter it up.

Of course, living in a positively tiny house has a few drawbacks, like no privacy, no entertaining, no pets bigger than sparky the fish, and no escape when that taco tuesday catches up with your spouse on wednesday evening.
