An inspiring guide to yurt living…

A few years ago i saw a beautifully decorated yurt in Domino Magazine and fell in love. How eco-chic to live in a sustainable yurt, fabulously decorated with personal style and…it’s totally affordable. Just gazing at the above photo invites my shoulders to drop a whole 2 inches…

Cut to yesterday at the Portland Better Living Show, I’m standing inside a yurt (available for purchase by Go Yurt) with Becky Kemery, author of the book, ‘Yurts Living in the Round’ talking yurt..

Becky at home outside of her yurt in the mountains of Northern Idaho.

You’ll see more in the video blog segment, but after learning that Becky herself lives in a yurt, I had to ask some seriously pink questions…like what’s the bathroom situation like and how’s the heating in the winter. The answers were unexpected….bathroom situation is comfortable and the wood burning stove serves to heat the space and quite efficiently, she added. Bottom line: She loves it!

What inspired me was her overall commitment to living in harmony with the planet. Her energy felt very grounded and centered. That alone is enough of an endorsement for me…

There will be a yurt in my future…and it might be in Albany. How about you? For more info on yurt living click here.
