Here’s an amazing hand-crafted tiny house with a writer’s desk. Built primarily from reclaimed materials, all the wood inside is sealed with all-natural tung oil, a non-toxic alternative to polyurethanes and stains. Any paint you see is old-fashioned milk paint; everything is either plywood or natural wood—no MDF or particleboard. Finally, the fabrics chosen are natural latex and wool (so watch out if you’re allergic!).
The house design includes a compact corner kitchen and a wet bath (you provide the composting toilet). There’s a lovely painted table in the middle of the house and a futon in the living room area. A small desk space is set up to allow you to work from home. Finally, you can climb a ladder to the bedroom loft, where a skylight gives you views of the stars. It was listed for $104K.

This is the story of a couple’s incredible 39-ft. gooseneck tiny house on wheels and their stand-up desk loft office space.
That’s right – they used what would normally have been a sleeping loft for most people as an office. Specifically, a stand-up desk office space. I think it’s genius! How about you?

Gaetan, a former contractor, was hit with cancer last year and decided to build a tiny house while going through chemo treatments. The end result is a beautiful 22 by 8 foot tiny house, complete with two lofts, a kitchen and bathroom, and living space.
It has a staircase to one loft, and an awesome collapsible ladder up to the other loft. There’s also a fold-down table for mealtime. It runs off electric and the workmanship looks amazing. He’s asking $55K (CAD) for the house. You can contact him via his Facebook page here.

This is one way you can get work done during van life using an outdoor stand up desk mounted on your van’s custom bumper. Yes, this is the story of a stand up desk mounted on the front bumper of this man’s van conversion!
This bumper happens to be an Aluminess van conversion specialty bumper, the adventurous mountain bike couple also use it to hang their hammocks, by the way. Plus the van lifer, @outsidenomad, is also using a FlexFixx balance board to make his stand up work session even better. Check it out below! And please, let us know what you think in the comments. I had never thought of this before and just think it’s awesome! How about you?

I think my favorite aspect of tiny homes has to be that they force a certain amount of creativity that one doesn’t need in a larger home. That becomes incredibly evident in this cabinet maker’s stunning 39 ft. tiny house in Australia!
Colin and his wife Megan built this incredible modern tiny house on a gooseneck trailer. While they subcontracted the frame and some other aspects, Colin’s expertise as a cabinet-maker came out as he added all kinds of hidden drawers and cubbies to help them store and organize their goods.
There is seriously not an inch wasted in this home! They have a stand-up bedroom over the gooseneck complete with plenty of hanging storage and dream-worthy closets, a living room with a large comfortable couch, and even a clever stand-up work desk space in the secondary loft. Living Big in a Tiny House did a lovely job (as always) interviewing the couple and touring their home, so check that out at the end of the post!

It’s great for small spaces like tiny homes, cabins, and studios.
But it can also be a useful piece of multi-functional furniture in a place like an art studio, right?
When it’s time to work you can use it as a desk. And when it’s time to host an event you can easily transform it into a bar! Pretty clever, isn’t it?
