Tiny Houses

The Pocket House Tiny House Vacation Rental in Portland, Oregon (featured in Portland Monthly) is actually a bit larger than it appears. At 435 sq. ft. most of us would consider it a small cabin. But since it was built with seemingly a lot of tiny house inspiration, I thought you’d also find it fun [...]

Right now I wanted to let you know about Paul’s tiny house for sale. (SOLD) It’s a Wildflower tiny cabin on wheels that he bought a few years back from Tiny Green Cabins (Update: Page no longer found) and has been living in it for the last two years or so. He doesn’t really want to [...]

Most of you already know about Macy Miller. She’s the woman who built her own 196 sq. ft. DIY tiny house on wheels for only $11k. Right now I wanted to give you a quick update because she’s recently put together a video for us where she gives you a full tour of her tiny [...]

Meet Joel Fleck. When he needed to find a home after college he decided instead of paying a high amount of rent in Sonoma county, that he would opt to design and build his own tiny home on wheels instead. So, according to the story at Faircompanies, he bought an abandoned trailer for only $300 [...]

This is the 150-square-foot City Cottage Tiny House. It’s designed by Verstas Architects in Finland as a little getaway just a mile away from the owners main house secluded in the woods with an ocean view. Sounds amazing, doesn’t it? Inside you’ll find a simple kitchen, sleeping loft, living area, hidden storage throughout, large glass windows, [...]

I just wanted to re-share this couple living in tiny house for a year and how you might be able to benefit from their experience thus far. That’s right. They’ve been living in a tiny house full time for over a year now. And now they’re sharing the good, the bad, and what they might [...]

When you walk into this cylindrical micro cabin you can immediately see the ladder to your left which leads you up to the loft. Beyond that is a daybed with fluffy pillows in front of a beautiful, large round window. Across from that is your table and another window with beautiful views. These big windows [...]

This is the story of how Marsha Turned This Short School Bus Into Her ‘Motor-Cottage’. Hi, Alex and Tiny House Newsletter readers, you may not remember me, but you posted an article about my first tiny house called “My Darling”, made with recycled barn wood and a blue door. Don’t miss other fun tiny house [...]

“The Nest” is a tiny house on wheels (6’x6′) with a storage loft. It’s my second tiny house. You can see my first one, “The Darling” here. I lived in this one for 7 months, then because I was making plans to work in AZ in a contract position, and would be going back and [...]

I bought a 14′ trailer, but because of poor construction, had to build a 10′ long house instead which meant really changing the plans, but now that I have it, I absolutely love it. It is built mostly from scraps, bargains, and recycled materials including old 100 year old stable boards from which I pulled [...]

I have a micro home with a 10’x10′ footprint with a loft. The inside is typical of many tiny houses: small living area, tiny wet bath, small kitchen and a loft area at the front and back accessed by a ladder. Unlike most tiny houses of similar size, this one is made using modular, composite [...]

Hi Alex and Tiny House Newsletter readers, I’ve recently completed (and sold) a 20′ shipping container conversion. I did it all almost on my own with the exception of electric and plumbing, working out of a storage unit and wanted to share it with you. It’s just under 160 sq. ft. and has a full kitchen, [...]

I just got done reading the article and adventure that a mother and daughter just had living in a tiny house together for three days. Meet Melia Robinson and her mother, Vicki. Melia is a reporter for Business Insider. And they survived 3 days living in 128 square feet together. She describes it as ‘survived’ [...]

The Indian Blanket tiny house has a New York country loft style and was built by students at Northside ISD (Independent School District) in San Antonio, Texas. This is a Construction Careers Academy. The micro home has a double loft design ideally one so you can read and the other to be used as a bedroom [...]

I’ve included some pictures and a spec sheet. Please let me know if there is anything else you need. Warm Regards, [...]

Hello Alex and Tiny House Talk readers, I’ve followed your page for some time, and it was where I saw my first tiny house, Dee Williams house! (who we later got to meet in Seattle). That was in November 2013, about a week after my partner and I had gotten rid of our apartment, things, [...]

Hello Alex (and Tiny House Talk readers), I love hearing about other people’s tiny house adventures. For a long time I thought I was the only one interested in living simple. I kept thinking, it’s so easy why don’t more people do it? I live full time in a 270 square foot log cabin (you [...]
