Rickey didn’t want to end up in a nursing home after a lifetime of adventure, teaching English, and truck-driving, so he used his handy skills to transform a 1968 bus into his home—and he tows it with a 1929 Ford.
He designed the exterior of the rig to look like the red Angry Bird, complete with eye decals. Rickey enjoys being part of the nomadic community and helping others with his mechanical skills.

Sophie splits her time between van life and homesteading on a friend’s hunting land in Kentucky. She gutted and re-did her entire van, giving it a groovy retro aesthetic with 70s-inspired wallpaper-covered cabinets.
The van features a U-shaped dinette that converts to a bed at night, replacing her previous stationary bed setup. She swapped giant upper cabinets for smaller ones with a lighter footprint, improving the overall feel of the space. Now she can travel part-time in her van and live in a tiny shed conversion the rest of the time.

Silo conversions are among the most creative approaches to alternative housing, and this three-bedroom cottage in Vian, Oklahoma proves that these agricultural structures can become surprisingly spacious family homes. Located near Lake Tenkiller and within walking distance of Tenkiller State Park, this converted silo demonstrates how vertical space in a cylindrical structure can accommodate multiple bedrooms.
With 3 bedrooms and 1.5 baths spread across two floors, this silo cottage challenges the assumption that round structures are impractical for traditional living. All bedrooms are located upstairs, while the main floor houses the living areas and a half bath.

What would you do if you suddenly lost the job you thought you’d have forever? For Stacey and her husband, it turned out to be the best thing that ever happened to them.
The couple had been living in a 2,800-square-foot home with three bedrooms, four bathrooms, and a three-car garage. After the upheaval of 2020, Stacey — a C-suite healthcare executive — started questioning whether the high-pressure career and the big house were really what she wanted. They bought a 448-square-foot cottage near the beach as a weekend escape, planning to fix it up over time.
Then Stacey was laid off. Suddenly facing a new financial reality, the couple made a bold decision: sell the big house, sell most of their belongings from their 30-year marriage, and move into the tiny cottage full-time. What started as a crisis became a complete life transformation.
