For Sale: Houses So Tiny They're Adorable!

When I was a kid, I fantasized about living in our laundry room. I imagined a twin bed tucked into a shelf, drawers under my box springs, shelves over my head. It seemed so cozy.

Now, my fascination extends to tiny houses. Like "under 1000 square feet" tiny. There's something so appealing about a compact space done right. It feels functional, yet whimsical. Conservative, yet playful. (And I like the idea of minimal cleaning!)

These listings from across the country fit the bill: super small, and super adorable.

5 Cottages For Sale Across the Country

When I was a kid, I dreamed of living in a mansion. So, of course, I was sick with envy when a family in my town won the McDonald's Monopoly million-dollar home. (Until then, I was convinced the whole Monopoly thing was a sham.) But then, as I got older—and realized a big house would have to be cleaned, most likely by me—the sprawling McMansions lost their appeal. 

        Now, I'd much rather have a smaller home with lots of character, decorated exactly the way I like it. Thus my obsession with cottages. These adorable abodes, all of which are currently on the market, are not only stunning on the outside—they also have well-appointed, graceful interiors. And it's what's on the inside that really matters, right?
