Purposeful Green Homes

Not too long ago my children stumbled upon a documentary on Tiny Houses.  I happened to be walking through the room as they were watching it and my attention was caught.  I sat down and began to watch it with them.  There was something very intriguing in the idea of living so simply and intentionally. 

Each person interviewed in the documentary had a purpose for their home and the space within. For many of those tiny home dwellers, much thought was put into the switch to living small and simple.  Some had a series of downsizing they went through before moving to the tiny house on a trailor. Each person interviewed, however, had more of a sense of peace about life.

 

I am not advocating that we all should live that simply, but they do have something going for them that we could all learn from—purpose.  Their homes had a purpose.  Each home was built with a purpose and the space within fit that intended purpose. 

Have you ever thought about your home as having a specific purpose?  We believe that our lives have purpose and should be lived to fulfill that purpose.  Should our homes have a purpose too?  Should our homes reflect something of our beliefs and the way we live life?

Reflect on the following questions...

First:  What is the purpose of my home?

Second:  In light of the overall purpose of my home, what is the function for each room in my home?

Over the next couple of weeks we will further discuss purpose and function for our homes and how to create a home environment that reflects your purpose.  If you are conscientious about living green and green cleaning stay tuned for this discussion.  If you are new to green cleaning, check out our website:  Brightly Green Concentrate Cleaners.
