Tiny Houses

The purpose of this off grid tiny house was to offer young couples or millennials the ability to live outside the hustle and bustle of the big city. To have the ability to live off grid in a tiny house while being more environmentally friendly is the idea here. Initially  research was collected to see [...]

In this post I’m excited for you to meet Phil McCabe of Solscape Eco Retreat who we have thanks to Bryce and his team over at Living Big in a Tiny House in New Zealand. Phil and his partner are showing us their two tiny earth dome homes which were built for only $10k and total [...]

I’ve talked about April Anson and her tiny house before. She’s a Ph.D. graduate who decided to go tiny for economic reasons since there were no jobs in her field. Living in a tiny house has made things better for her. With the cost savings from her decision to be living tiny she’s able to travel to more [...]

Together they created a company called Rhino Cubed. And it combines tiny living, sustainability, and art. Rhino Cubed is based in Boulder, Colorado and the company is building units nearby in Louisville. It all starts with [...]

This 210 square feet modern treehouse tiny home by Baumraum architects. The reason it was built was for a group of scouts in the area so they can camp and stay in it on the almke camp site. Before you even get up to the cabin using the staircase you notice there are two micro structures [...]

I can’t help being excited about shipping container tiny homes especially this one you’re about to see which is in Southern Portugal. I guess it’s the bright color that attracted me to it at first. Then the modern flair the structure has that made me want to share it with you. What a beaut! The architect Arnold Aarssen from Studio Arte envisions a [...]

Since we’re finally so blessed to have an entire TV show dedicated to tiny houses (yes- I’m talking about the Tiny House Nation TV Show on tonight 7/9/14 at 10pm est) I’m also excited about Zack Giffin (co-host of the show) sharing his adventures with us from the last few months (and maybe even years). [...]

Straight out of a storybook this sweet little whimsical cottage is a dream come true for Sue Corl and her husband Ron. The cottages’ design, look and feel was based on Sue’s childhood dream of having a tiny cottage just like Rudolph, Hermey & Yukon Cornelius (from the Classic cartoon Rudolph the Red-Nose Reindeer). Thus the [...]

The other day I got to meet up with Joe Everson of Tiny Happy Homes along with his happy clients, Lisa and Jon, who he just delivered their tiny house to in Florida. Unfortunately the timing of everything wasn’t perfect so I didn’t get to visit the house  yet (don’t worry you’ll still get to [...]

If you want to live in a tiny house the first piece of advice I’ve got for you is to take your time when designing your home. I’ve seen plenty of people design and build their first tiny home only to have to start all over later on because they didn’t think things through enough [...]

Meet Alysha, her kids, and their tiny house in Red Bluff, California. It was built with the help of the Oregon Cottage Company.

This June 18, 2014, was the first ever tiny house at the White House (and first Maker Faire there too). Sicily Kolbeck of La Petite Maison brought her tiny house to the President with the help of Teal Brown of Wishbone Tiny Homes, who hauled the home for her. La Petite Maison (tiny house) was parked under the [...]

I’m thrilled to show you Ben Barthell’s 200 sq. ft. solar off-grid tiny house that he built himself on a recycled 24′ x 8.5′ trailer (so yes- it’s mobile). This DIY micro cabin has all of the amenities of home but I’d say it’s even better because: It’s completely self-sustaining. It can power itself using [...]

Building a Mortgage-free Tiny House by the Seat of My Pants – Part 2 – by Shirley Loomis Arriving at my tiny house daily was so much more pleasant once the outside was complete. It looked like I was working on something real, no longer just a picture in my mind’s eye. An added benefit of [...]
