Minimalist Kitchens & Cooking – Part 2
Stone Soup – Minimalist Home Cooking has published the second part of their minimalist kitchen series. Their first article included what NOT to include in a minimalist kitchen; this second article focuses on the essentials of a minimalist kitchen.
While several Tiny House Design readers didn’t agree with all their suggestions in the first article I must admit it was food for thought, but be sure to bring along a grain of salt.

Minimalist Kitchens & Cooking – Part 1
Tiny houses require thinking differently about food preparation. At first this might seem like a design challenge but it really begins with what you eat and how you cook. Recently I found a wonderful blog called Stone Soup – Minimalist Home Cooking which is filled with wonderful articles on simple food and recipes.
Stone Soup just started a series titled how to set up a minimalist kitchen which looks like a great resource for beginning the process of designing a small house kitchen. The first article focuses on what not to include in a simple kitchen.
There is no relation (that I know of) between Stone Soup and Jay Shafer but here’s a photo of Jay in his tiny house kitchen. Photo by Amanda. Continue to read Part 2.
Williams Cabin by Stephen Atkinson
It’s exciting to find professional architects that appreciate and design small houses. I’ve really enjoyed exploring Stephen Atkinson’s website and found another nice example of a small home, this time a minimalist cabin in Durango, Colorado. While it’s always surprising to me to see flat and shallow pitched roofs on homes in snow country it is refreshing to find one that is so simple and small. Even modern examples like this house are a testament to the virtues of small and simple homes.
