Colorado resident Rebekah Paulson gives away her things to move into tiny home

A self-confessed 'hoarder' has given away almost everything she owns so she can move into an ultra-tiny house.

Rebekah Paulson, 35, is now living in a 20 x 8-foot shed on wheels in Laporte, Colorado, after leaving her rented apartment.

The shop worker began her purging process in.....
January last year, and gave away ten items every Tuesday to Goodwill or to friends.

In order to fit everything into the Lilliputian house she built herself, she offloaded everything except three pairs of shoes - not counting farm boots - a couple of cardigans, some shirts and a couple pairs of pants.

She has no oven or freezer but she does have a small refrigerator and stove, like the ones found on boats.

There is a one chair, bought at IKEA. But it was too big for Rebekah's new home so she had to build the walls around it.

There is also a mattress and one set of bed linen. The bed has been built in the 'loft', above the washing area.

Paulson, who works in a Fort Collins yarn shop and spends half of each month as a live-in dog-sitter for vacationers, said: 'It's been a dramatic change.
