About Dee Williams<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n

Williams began researching tiny houses in earnest after life changing experiences forced her to rethink her life and she realized like many people who have decided to downsize to tiny homes in recent years that she no longer wanted to be burdened by the costs and responsibilities of maintaining her home.<\/span><\/p>\n

Although her home was beautiful, Williams also realized that she didn\u2019t need the square feet or things that she had acquired over the years, once she sold her home then downsized she was able to account for all of her worldly possessions on one sheet of paper and she now enjoys the same benefits as many other tiny homeowners like being able to take off at a moment\u2019s notice without having to worry about her house.<\/span><\/p>\n

Life in the 8-By-10<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

After living in big homes her entire life, Williams shocked her friends and family members by downsizing her entire life to an 8-by-10 foot space.<\/span><\/p>\n
