Compact and Functional

Half the fun of moving into a new place, even a smaller new place, is searching out the gadgets and items that are perfectly designed and with the functionality this is just what you were looking for.

 

Two of the modifications I was thinking we would need in our Tiny House was bedside lighting and a charging and storage place for our iPhones/iPods.  And this OttLite POD lamp fits the bill.  I like that is folds up when not in use but opens to reveal a compact light with a place for our devices to charge all in one spot.  It even has cord management.   They're on sale now for $40.

 

 

 

 

 

Another item that we've been thinking about is a TV... or maybe an iPad... or something?  I like this mini-projector option from Optoma.

 

 

 

 

Per the site:

 

View video and images from personal media players, mobile phones, PDAs, cameras and gaming devices with ease and without recharging the battery for up to 2 hours.

 

Smaller than many digital cameras and smart phones, the Optoma PK100 Pico Pocket Projector enables users to share images and videos from their media devices at sizes up to 60" — incredible from a device small and light enough to be comfortably carried in a pocket or handbag.

 

Based upon the latest LED illumination advances and DLP® imaging technology, Optoma's PK100 Pico Pocket Projector combines clear, vivid, high contrast images with long-lasting durability and simple operation.

Features are:

• Easily share photos and videos from mobile devices
• Project images on any surface
• Ultra-light at 4 ounces including battery
• Image size up to 60 inches
• Vivid 1000:1 contrast ratio
• DLP® Pico technology
• LED light source lasts over 20,000 hours
• Recharge battery conveniently via USB or included AC power adaptor

Maybe we don't even need a TV.  And this could be a way we still can do our Movie Nights!
