These 8 Awesome Tiny Homes In Hawaii Will Make You Want One

In 2018, the average size of a new single-family home in America was 2,623 square feet. But do you really need all that space — or the cost associated with it?

After falling in love with tiny living in Idaho, Kristie Wolfe bought a plot of land in Hawaii sight-unseen for $8,000. Then, with the help of her mother, she built an $11,000 bamboo tree house that perfectly fits into the surrounding landscape. "I think small homes are beautiful because it fits with my lifestyle. I think having a lot of stuff mentally weighs you down, even in ways that you don’t realize," says Wolfe.
