Tiny Houses

Asheville NC, just experienced its rainiest summer on record. I recall last year being a bit wet as well. Both seasons included a few days where we needed run our generator to supplement the solar power and recharge our batteries until the sun decided to make its reappearance. I’ll be honest; a rainy day in [...]

I thought you’d like this tiny house that’s in Yport on top of a cliff in Normandy, France. My favorite part about it is not only the location but the rooftop terraces that are accessible on the second floor from the bedroom. Directly underneath the rooftop terraces are some covered patios. These are available as [...]

One of my favorite new tiny house builders is the Oregon Cottage Company led by architect Todd Miller. This tiny home that I’m showing you today was completed for a client of his who wanted a home that she could afford and love. She also grew up in Japan, so she wanted something that would [...]

I wanted to let you know that a 99 Sq. Ft. Anderjack tiny cottage on wheels is available to buy right now from Four Lights Houses. This Craftsman style tiny house is located in New York right now. The structure is 7′ x 16′ but with the trailer and roofline, it’s about 9’6″ x 20′ [...]

When people tell me they want to travel a lot with their future tiny house on wheels I always think, “hey, why not just go for a travel trailer because it’s lighter and easier to tow?” And if you wanted you can always still live in a travel trailer just like you would in a [...]

This weekend marked the first day of autumn for 2013. Like many people, I love this time of year. As you probably know from reading Tiny House Talk, I live in a tiny house that we built in the Appalachian Mountains near Asheville North Carolina. As you might imagine this is a majestic place for [...]

I thought I’d let you know that Dee Williams and her team at PAD Tiny Houses have made the Sweet Pea tiny house design available to the public. It’s a design that was created for their friend Gina who wanted a tiny house that she can maybe start a family in. What do you think? [...]

Recently Deek visited Ella Jenkins and her Tumbleweed Tiny House. And while he was there he created a new video that you can watch below. Ella shares her home with you while she tells you about how she lives happily in her little house on wheels. She started the project when she was 23 years [...]

I thought you would also enjoy this tiny house poem video by Carla Schwartz. It’s a simple collection of photo memories in Claude von Roesgen’s tiny solar houseboat that you can see in this post. The little houseboat is named TinySol, “the wake with the solar tiny houseboat!” And it earns the name with its [...]

In this post, you’ll get to tour a newlyweds’ recently built 160 sq. ft. tiny home on wheels. The house is 13’5″ high and about 8′ wide so it’s legal to tow on public roads. There’s also an upstairs loft that adds around 30-40 sq. ft. of livable space to the home. So in total… [...]

The 107 sq. ft. design features a: kitchen, table, desk, sleeping loft, and a private bathroom. Most of the storage is in the form of built-in shelving throughout the cabin. Photos by [...]

Ever wanted to convert a school bus into an off-grid cabin? When Max was a little kid he grew up across the street in a log cabin. Today he has two homes. The first is in the city in a tiny apartment. And his other home is this school bus converted into an off-grid tiny [...]

Wanted to show you this awesome treehouse cabin rental that’s on Airbnb. It’s located in Cave Junction, Oregon and is completely elevated off the ground. As soon as you just look at it must feel like you’re in some kind of wonderland. It’s not a complete home (no kitchen or shower) but it does have [...]

Hot on the heels of his e-Cours(E), Small Home, Big Life, Andrew Odom is at it again with a new online offering. This one is super cool and I couldn’t wait to tell you about it. Drew is going to teach us all how to decorate our tiny homes in style! I love this idea that [...]

I think you’re going to love how this guy turned a 182 sq. ft. storage space into an awesome, fully livable 8-room micro apartment in Seattle. That’s right. At first he was just looking for some storage space to keep some of his extra stuff. Once he took a better look, he immediately realized that [...]

I’m so excited to show you this solar powered modified Tumbleweed Epu tiny house on wheels. As you can tell it’s been slightly modified. First with the barn style roof, different sized windows, larger front door and open porch. If you study the Epu plans real quick you’ll notice that the interior was left almost [...]

I know we’ve been posting a lot about the Tiny House Hotel lately. But Faircompanies has released interviews and video tours of the tiny houses on the property. I’m so inspired how someone found a way to turn what used to be a repossessed car lot into a Tiny House Hotel called The Caravan. From Repossessed Car [...]
