Tiny Houses

While some tiny homes are getting bigger, I love seeing people reimagine truly itty bitty spaces. At just 18 ft. long, it’s amazing that this builder managed to fit not only a loft bedroom and pull-out sofa, but a triple bunk bed for kids! Wow. Located near Nashville, Tennessee, this THOW is for sale for [...]

Colby and Aria used to be vanlifers, but are now proud owners of more than 14 acres of woodlands in Vermont, as well as their very own DIY tiny home that’s entirely off-grid (they even get water from their stream). Their 360 square foot home is heated by wood they cut themselves, and they have [...]

Talk about your own little piece of paradise: This tiny home, named the Oasis, is built by Paradise Tiny Homes in Hawaii (but they will ship to the states if you pay shipping). The home includes a magical sky-lit shower, a “mango bar” connecting the kitchen with outdoor dining, and one of the biggest round [...]

Chasing the “American Dream” required this family of four to spend some $1,200 a month for only 500 square feet — so they ditched the apartment life and renovated a bus instead! While they had to downsize to 250 square feet, they’re now in a much better position and will start travelling again once it’s [...]

Sophie and Henry felt strongly about living sustainably, and building an eco-friendly DIY tiny home — while living a minimalist lifestyle — fit perfectly into that passion. Their combined experience in architecture and framing made them perfect candidates for building their own home, although it did take them longer than they had thought (a common [...]

When Tina and her partner went in different directions, it left her with a tough decision to make: Leave their barn home and sell her animals, or find someway to live on pasture with her herd of sheep and goats (and her cats and dogs)? Tiny living was the perfect solution! With the help of [...]

Charlie and Dale work full-time, but when they hit the road to travel Europe this next year, they’ll be able to cut back to freelance work, work less, and climb more! According to Charlie, vanlife has always been popular with climbers because of how easy it makes it to access the best climbing spots and [...]

When Danny and Katherine first learned about cob building, they were hooked! But they couldn’t jump right in due to a number of circumstances. Eventually, they were able to build a “trial” cob tiny home on her parents’ property, where they lived for a few years while saving and planning for their forever home on [...]

The Black Box Container Home is a modern 2-bedroom shipping container home in Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada, built by Honomobo. Cathi and Trevor downsized from a 2,300-square-foot home to this smaller 704-square-foot space three years ago after their sons left home. The couple then built a stick frame studio space with a glass garage door [...]

It’s easy to look at vanlifers and skoolie conversions and get discouraged that you just don’t have the funds to get a large vehicle or the know-how to fix it up. Meg and Ben managed to get on the road spending only $400 on their renovation of an outdated travel trailer — and as long [...]

It took a pandemic to make Julie’s dream of living tiny a reality, but now she and her four special needs rescue dogs live in her 2018 Gulfstream Vintage Cruiser, and her second redone vintage trailer that’s her yoga studio. I love the idea of the second trailer, because it doesn’t need electricity or plumbing, [...]

When an engineer with a love of boating approached Minimaliste to create a custom Noyer for him, he had a lot of ideas regarding what he wanted, and the end result is a gorgeous top-of-the-line tiny with all the amenities. Trash compactor? Check. Washer AND dryer? Check. “Smart” toilet? Check. You’ll also find a dishwasher, [...]

Philip & Jackie wanted a tiny house with tons of windows, and Tiny Idahomes delivered just that! Hopefully, they have an awesome private spot to put their tiny house with great views. Inside they have the most amazing U-shaped kitchen with lovely robin’s egg blue cabinets. They opted for a loft bedroom and even had [...]

She owned the land outright, hired a local contractor to build the home, and after a couple years of payments now lives completely debt-free. She moved from a 700-square-foot city apartment with [...]

It took married couple Edwin and Clara 2.5 years to build it, but they moved into their very own DIY THOW just a month before California went into lockdown due to coronavirus. Their home sits on 27 acres in Northern CA — the absolute perfect spot to shelter-in-place. This home was a true labor of [...]

This is the pinnacle of “smart” tiny home prefabricated construction! While the iOhouse has a hefty price tag, it’s still a super cool concept: This home is 100% off grid while being fully self-contained — and everything from the furniture to the heat to the lights can be controlled from your smartphone. Coming in at [...]

When COVID-19 shut down the theatre industry in London, it left Zoe and her partner in the lurch for work. But, they made lemons out of lemonade, and chased a long-time dream of living on the canalways of England in a narrowboat!
