Tiny Houses

You might have already learned about the Tiny House Hotel in Laura’s recent post. I’ve even featured a few of their tiny houses recently including the Miter Box. The best part is that you (and anyone else) can stay in these awesome little homes. Almost two years ago I blogged about giant sewage tubes being [...]

I really like this tiny cabin‘s modern look and feel. Especially because everything remains simple. Really simple. This modern micro house was designed to be a weekend getaway. In it you’ll find a lofted sleeping area with a great view thanks to the cabin’s design. There’s a screened porch area along with a deck. Take [...]

This is the Miter Box Tiny House on Wheels. It’s designed by Shelter Wise LLC in Portland. And for a while, back in 2013, it was part of the Tiny House Hotel in Portland, Oregon. You can still buy the tiny house plans from PAD Tiny Houses (they’re currently selling for $79.00) and you can [...]

You have probably heard the news by now but in case you haven’t we wanted to share a little information about the new Tiny House Hotel that recently launched in Portland, Oregon. Tiny house aficionados and entrepreneurs Deb Delman and Kol Peterson opened a three-room (or, rather, 3 house) tiny hotel in the Portland Arts [...]

Hank is an architect student who bought a bus for his final project. He was tired of doing projects that weren’t real. They were just on paper. Hank’s grandfather owns an 80-acre parcel of land in Wisconsin where they wanted to build a tiny cabin on the land. But because of building codes and zoning [...]

Here’s a 250 square feet micro cabin I thought you might like. It’s a studio set up but it’s self contained so you’ve got all the amenities you need in here. There’s a bathroom, water heater, kitchenette, oven, microwave, mini-frig, coffee maker, etc. And I love the deck out front and how you can open [...]

Tiny houses on trailers aren’t the only way to live simply. And if you like the water as much as I do you’re going to love this little floating cabin. It’s a barge tiny house vacation rental on the water in Seattle, Washington. When I go visit Seattle for the first time I just might [...]

I know this is random, but have you been wanting to become more healthy? Who doesn’t, right? But if you’re not happy with your energy level, weight and eating habits then continue reading. I know it’s a little unusual because I’m talking about health and not tiny houses. But this is something I’m also passionate [...]

Mr. Luker’s Tiny House project is a relatively new blog recording the building experience for new tiny house builder named Joe. He really doesn’t share much about himself on his blog or on his attached Google+ profile, but just from reading through his blog you can tell that he is passionate and dedicated to the [...]

Today I wanted to show you Jay Shafer’s Weller tiny house design. It’s a 115 square feet gabled cabin designed to be built on a 7′ x 16′ trailer. This home embraces classical geometry which Jay and his Four Lights Tiny Houses are famous for. What I like best about it is the traditional craftsman [...]

Most of us dream of a tiny house for ourselves. I’ve always seen really little homes as a quick way to achieve more freedom. But that’s certainly not everybody. And that may or may not be you. Maybe you have a family and you’d like a cabin on wheels so you can go weekending in [...]

What if your tiny home did not look like every other tiny home? This 540 sq ft dome cabin by Lexa Dome Homes breaks the mold with its round shape, tall ceilings, and unusual wooden construction system. It is a very different take on small living, and that is exactly why dome homes keep catching [...]

If you’re like me you don’t just like tiny houses. I happen to like all sorts of unique shelters in all kinds of shapes and sizes, like shipping containers, yurts, cabins, motorhomes, and more. But usually for me the smaller the better because I like efficiency and the idea of not going beyond our needs [...]

In this post, I’m going to show you Jay Shafer’s component furniture plans which are made to design your own tiny house. I think his goal here is to make it easy for us to customize tiny houses for our own needs. At first, Jay would design little houses for himself figuring that he was [...]

I love all type of creative and innovative designs and when I ran into this awesome bus from New Zealand I just had to share it with you. First off, it has just about everything you need including a very spacious kitchen which I think they designed wonderfully. It has a modern design with a [...]

I like to always update you with tiny houses on sale that really catch my eye. This one, in particular, happens to be only 196 square feet and stands on a 24′ trailer. Asking price? $37,000. I think that’s a pretty good deal for what it is (see below). The seller of this little home is [...]

It seems to me like many of the people who are embracing the tiny lifestyle are those who are looking for a sense of freedom in their lives. Many tiny house builders and dwellers are also entrepreneurs or otherwise self-employed. Those who work for other companies are doing so on a remote basis to be [...]
