Edit
New York's skinniest home sells for a little over $2 million dollars....now that's no skinny price tag! Here's a collection of skinny homes I thought you might like to see. I don't know about you, but I may need something I can fit a King size bed into (at least).
I wonder if the inside of these homes are cramped...what do you think? Can you imagine living in either of these??

Oh the second to last one, the little blue home, is just gorgeous! I think it would be almost fun to live in one of these, but Im not sure you would get a lot of stuff in here... Then again you can't fit a lot of stuff into most New York City Apartments!!

If I had the money I'd buy one in a second. I think the skinny home idea is really cool.
ReplyDeleteI think it was the little blue one that used to be an alley way!
ReplyDeleteI can't fathom paying that much money for a skinny home, but they are adoooorable! And the concept is brilliant. I'm also in love with the blue home, it's so cozy!!

I'd love to see the inside of those homes! I'm so curious to see how they manage.
ReplyDeleteOMG this cant be true. I could not live in any of these. Where on earth will I put all my vintage treasures???
ReplyDeletewow! these are so cool ~~
ReplyDeleteI've been in a skinny home like this before... it's insane! The one I was in was in London...
ReplyDeleteBEACH VINTAGE:
ReplyDeleteHaha...You're thinking vintage treasures, i'm thinking KING size bed...! I imagine these homes are long- just not very wide...
You should do a home tour on the interiours of one of these!!
ReplyDeleteSAM: Me too, I'm dying to see the inside...see where they place their furniture etc,
ReplyDeleteId really have to see in the inside of these! I think they totally are cute and love the use of less ground space use. And hey, conus exercise climbing all of those stories!! :)
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness!! I can't believe how narrow some of these places are - especially image 2 and 4!! I love the little blue one x
ReplyDeletewas the little blue one in georgetown? anyhow--i need space, yet the thought of living in one of these is full of whimsy.
ReplyDeleteHi! I just started reading your blog recently and felt like I should comment. I work as a decorator here in NYC and I just did a house that sold for 6 million. The children's rooms were so small they could only fit a twin bed and desk!
ReplyDeleteI love your blog :)
Wow, those are pretty cool looking homes. So tiny!
ReplyDeleteI love tall, skinny places like these! Great for the legs + fun for decorating. Why not while you're young, right?
ReplyDeleteThank you also for your comment the other day...I wanted to let you know, too, I have your poster "I love you, blogs and coffee" in a silver frame on my white wall in my office. Makes me happy every time I look at it :)
xo,

While they look gorgeous, I actually felt claustrophobic looking at them. I imagined myself bumping into the bed legs every time I squeezed past. My poor shins!
ReplyDeleteCheck my little house for the summer is 2 meter wide...
ReplyDeleteIn that type of houses you have to be very very organized!

Oh goodness, no. I'd like to be able to stretch my arms, at least, without touching both sides of a room at the same time.
ReplyDeleteBut for people who absolutely must live in a certain area...I guess it's the best solution.
Wow! You must really love New York to pay such an amount for a space... I am lucky to live in the midwest where houses are relatively inexpensive. But then again I don't have access to hundreds if not thousands of galleries, customers, and art dealers either...
ReplyDeletean interesting proposition — what a great design challenge this would be! i'd love to see the interiors of some of these homes. great post!
ReplyDeleteI think I'll like to live in a place like this, such a big chalenge!
ReplyDeleteThey look so cool, but as you said I am not so sure about living in one like these. How much stuff can we put in it?
ReplyDeletei'd like to see the inside, too. i've never heard of skinny houses before. and they're soooo damn expensive. wow!
ReplyDeletep.s I left something for you on my blog :)
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see the inside of #2 but second from last just looks like a really sweet place to live :)
ReplyDeleteman, I've been having a hard time with my 14' wide home. now I feel like a spoiled brat! I'm sure people that live here are very clever with furniture placements, but I don't think I could do it. Maybe if the ceilings are really high it would help.
ReplyDeleteThey are really gorgeous, but I don't think I would like to live in one of this, maybe an atelier or studio to my paintings and handmade crafts.
ReplyDeleteNice blog.
Bye,

What a great post! I have a skinny home obsession, I think they are just so cute.
ReplyDeletethose are the teensiest, cutest, loveliest little homes ever! :) love, love, love it!!
ReplyDeleteI like the 3rd home.
ReplyDeleteheheh, skinny houses! that made me laugh :)
ReplyDeleteso much fun! Who else was reminded of Stuart Little?
ReplyDeleteit's amazing what you can do with small spaces. our place is only 15 feet wide... all the way back! And I love the little blue one!
ReplyDeletei went on a historical tour of boston when i was there a few years ago. the last house in this post was on it (weird?). the house is soooo narrow!
