I would really really love to have radiant floor heating in my tiny home. #dreamcometrue

having concrete floors w/ the radiant heat would be nice and good for durability and easy to clean (as long as I seal it right). Maybe I add a couple throw rugs. I guess it would be hard to stand on when cooking or standing for long periods, but I could wear indoor shoes and/or use rugs. and at least it would be a comfortable temperature. and if I have a dog it would be good for that. would likely use wood in other ways to keep the look comfortable and warm.
maybe do radiant floor heating AND a woodstove? but a woodstove takes up a lot of space (relatively) so if I don't need one I guess that'd be better...but less cozy-seeming. it's heavy too though, but so is concrete and there is a risk of burning if someone brushes against it in the tiny space.
of course, I would also love old reclaimed wideplank wood flooring like in grammie's house, so that's an option too.
