Tiny Houses

Did you see the historically-accurate Viking hut we featured earlier this week? When I came across this Mayan Coba Hut in Tulum, Mexico, it was remarkable to me to see the similarities in the building style — the thatch roof, the a-frame design — just goes to show you that great tiny building transcends time, [...]

I love the way people use all kinds of tiny spaces to create homes, and toy hauler conversions are no exception. This industrial tiny house on wheels fits in all the necessary amenities and there’s no loft! Bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and living space all on one floor. Plus the vehicle is street legal in all [...]

This is a post just to show that tiny living really isn’t anything new! This Canadian couple who helps set up a Viking Village attraction most summers decided to build their very own historically accurate Viking hut in their backyard when the festival was canceled due to the pandemic. The tiny structure has mud walls [...]

We see plenty of comments from people new to the tiny house movement, who wonder what’s so different about living in a tiny house instead of the tiny apartments they’re accustomed to.

Meet “This Little Den” — a family of 7 (mom, dad, 4 boys and a baby girl) that’s living in an RV while renting land on a friend’s property in Florida. Just before finding out about baby #5, they decided not to re-up their apartment lease or look for a new one. Instead, they voluntarily [...]

If you’re looking for that trendy farmhouse feel in a stunning tiny house on wheels, look no further than this 28 foot beauty, complete with two extra large lofts and a spacious center kitchen.

Bryce and Misty paid off their debts, left the city, and have spent the last 12 years building a cob home by hand on their off-grid homestead. The house cost approximately $1,000 CAD to build using clay from their property, wood harvested within 20km of home, and secondhand windows and roofing. They live without a [...]

This 470-square-foot garage on the Sunshine Coast in Gibsons, BC was converted into a stunning modern open-concept living space and listed on Airbnb as a form of house hacking to help the owners pay their mortgage. Exposed concrete floors, a corrugated metal ceiling, and high windows give it the feel of a designer micro cabin [...]

This beautiful tiny house on wheels was built by Blaine of Cornerstone Tiny Homes in Oklahoma for he and his wife to live in.

Brandon, Sarah, and their two adorable dogs are living the #vanlife, travelling the East Coast in their 159 EXT Promaster Camper Van. The 2019 model has been decked out to meet all their needs — including a hidden toilet/bed step! They ended up choosing a wet bar and larger refrigerator over a shower, somewhat on [...]

Natascha and Stephen were empty-nesters who had spent a lot of time travelling between India and Australia. When their son was able to purchase an acreage that allowed for other dwellings, the couple jumped at the opportunity to erect their off-grid yurt. They’re both teachers, and while the 8-meter-wide yurt might not be “tiny” to [...]

High school sweethearts Alicia and Daniel decided it didn’t make sense to work full-time while in college to pay rent in two different places, so instead they pooled their money and purchased a used RV for $8,000 cash, and put another $4,000 into renovations (including an unforseen mold issue that ate up a lot of [...]
