Thinking Flexible

In Hong Kong, because of the space, apartments are small and expensive. Gary Chang, an architect, decided to design a 344 sq. ft. apartment to be able to change into 24 different designs, all by just sliding panels and walls. He calls this the "Domestic Transformer."

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!
