Minimalism - The New Yurt's Interior

Howdy Folks!

• I've managed to get everything moved into the new Yurt and placed in a configuration I feel good with, so I figured I'd give you all a quick video tour:

The Rug

• I managed to find an 8-foot diameter wool rug on Craiglist for a really good deal. I feel very fortunate, because this is exactly what I was looking for!
• Since the Yurt is 12-feet in diameter, this gives a 2-feet area along the wall for putting things (e.g. furniture, bedding, instruments, etc.), and a ton of space in the middle of the Yurt for life activities (e.g. stretching, sleeping, working on projects, etc.).
  

Storage

• Most of the things I need to store fit in a large plastic bin with a lid. I was able to turn it into a table for placing my lantern and incense holder on by throwing a large piece of cloth over it. I think it looks pretty awesome!
  

Furniture

• Since I often sleep in the back of my truck, I needed to remove the back seats. I had the problem of finding a place to store them in case I have kids one day or need to transport more than 2 people, but that was solved by using them like living room furniture. I just put some heavy supporting objects behind them to keep the backrest from collapsing, and they work perfectly!
• My bed consists of a camping mat, wool comforter and a quilt a friend made for me years ago. I just fold them all up and
  

Office Space

• I constructed a little standing office against one wall. The foundation is a full body vibration plate (which I don't have a strong enough power inverter to run yet) with a grounding mat placed on top.
• I used one of the spare roof poles, some tied cloth and foundation board to create a space for my laptop to sit.
• I have a small USB Solar Panel hanging from the outside of the Yurt which powers my laptop as long as the sun is out.
  

Miscellaneous

• I have very few clothes so they take up very little space. I usually keep them inside of two camping stuff sacks against the wall near the folded up bedding.
• My Sitar and Bass Guitar also sit against the wall. I'm looking forward to getting a battery pack made which can power the Bass Amplifier!
• I currently keep my Food and Supplements in the Yurt, but I am concerned about attracting insects and larger animals, so I'm trying to think of a better way to store that stuff. Let me know if you have ideas!
  

Nighttime Lighting

• One of my favorite things about the new Yurt is how it feels at night when lit by a single lantern. My camera doesn't really do it justice due to the low light levels, but it's such a good mood setter! Also, when looking at the Yurt from the outside when it's really dark with the lantern lit inside the whole things glows really eerily... almost like it's a ghost! Maybe I'll show you someday if I get a better camera.
