But they are beginning to deal with the concept of living with less, and show a couple squeezing into a modest 1100 square foot house in Mill Valley, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright disciple Daniel J. Liebermann- that cost $1,125,000 to purchase and over $ 400 a foot to renovate. But it is a gem of a thing. More at New York Times … Read the full story on TreeHugger
