Update to the Little Yellow House
Another update from Kent Griswold’s website, The Tiny House Blog. This is arguably the cutest house in America, built by Ella Jenkins at the the Little Yellow Door website. Just over a year ago she made the big move into a small space and seems to be doing better than ever.
Ella is a posterchild for tiny house living and it shows in her wonderful house and minimalist life.
So, if you love tiny homes and have a few minutes, check out her update on the Tiny House Blog. If you missed the earlier post with short video, check it out here. And finally, her own blog, telling a bit about her journey can be found here.
