You may remember Chris Haynes and his 252 sq. ft. Bodega tiny house with Deek.

If not, just click the link above and you can get the tour of his main house which is just 252 square feet.

Chris built this tiny house first and lived in it for more than a year (completely mortgage-free) with his dog (more on that story in the video below) while he was building his main house.

So now his “guest” house- of course- happens to be just 90 sq. ft. His original tiny cabin.

It was built using the old Tumbleweed XS plans (which I think are normally around 65-square-feet) but he actually built his 1′ wider (90-square-feet) because he built his on a foundation (instead of on a trailer).

Using a Tiny House as a Guest House

I think that’s an awesome micro cabin. In fact, I’ve always wanted to build the XS (I even own a set of the original plans).

What’s also great is that his main house is also relatively tiny at just 252 sq. ft.

Anyway head down below to enjoy the video tour w/ Deek as he also interviews the owner/builder/dweller below:

I ran into this news segment on the Tiny House Movement by Global News 16×9 in Canada.

The episode takes you on an adventure into a few people’s lives who live very tiny lives.

And the question is, for these people, do small spaces mean more freedom?

But it’s not just that. These micro homes are also much better for the environment.

What do you small spaces- including tiny homes- mean to you?

This is the story of Ethan Waldman’s mortgage-free tiny house that he designed and built himself! What an incredible shortcut to mortgage-freedom, right? A tiny house… yes!

He built it for way less than today’s average home and is already enjoying the debt-free lifestyle that most of us work decade after decade for only to get there run down and beat up… With tiny homes, this is changing.

Earlier I introduced you to Graham Wales’ Inaugural tiny house and his new company East Coast Tiny Homes. (Update: East Coast Tiny Homes is no longer in business).

His mission is to custom design and build the perfectly suited micro home for his clients on an individual basis.

To kick things off he has already designed and built his first micro cabin on an 8’x20′ trailer (see below).

If you’re thinking of traveling with your future tiny house you might want to think about building something like this because it’s aerodynamic.

Not only that but it’s also lighter in weight too. And when you go inside I think you’ll be amazed at all that’s in there.

Granted, this is pretty big for a teardrop trailer but you could still consider it one if you wanted to.

387-sq-ft-2-story-micro-apartment-in-brazil-001

This 387 sq. ft. micro apartment was designed for a recently divorced business man.

I can still see some couples making a space like this work great for themselves.

Especially if it were situated in a desirable location where you’d be able to walk to and from some of your favorite places.

How would you like to live in a micro apartment designed similar to this? Let us know in the comments down below.

I first met Graham Wales at a tiny house workshop in Wilmington, NC last year.

He immediately told me about his dreams of becoming a tiny house builder by starting his own company to offer design/build services.

I thought that was awesome and it gets better because today he’s accomplishing exactly what he told me along with completing his first tiny house on wheels project that I’m excited about showing you here today.

The house he built is called: The Inaugural. And his company: East Coast Tiny Homes. (Update: East Coast Tiny Homes is no longer in business)

Graham also took the time to let me interview him which you can read below.

I think you’ll really like the home since it has some space saving features that you probably haven’t seen before in other small houses so enjoy below and share what you liked most about it in the comments below.

Here’s a really nice caravan tiny house by So Cal Cottages. (Update: It looks like they’re no longer producing tiny homes)

It has french doors in the front with a covered porch area over the hitch of the trailer.

Inside there’s a downstairs sleeping area (no upstairs sleeping loft) so it’s a single level tiny house.

This is great for those of you who do not like the idea of using a ladder to get to and from your bed.

You’ll also find a dining table, storage nooks, full bathroom and kitchen inside.
