Tiny Houses

I love all sorts of small house designs and this one really caught my attention because it’s a mixture of a cabin and a yurt. It’s especially unique in that it’s a round structure and to me it just defines simplicity. There’s something about it too that makes me feel peaceful. And I don’t think [...]

This is the perfect opportunity for those of you who have been considering moving into a tiny house but haven’t experienced it yet. To get to vacation in a well built 120 square foot tiny home on wheels that has a very modern design to it. It’s located in Portland, Oregon which I hear is such [...]

This is Yahini Homes smallest home ever built and it’s a 112 square feet tiny house on a trailer. It’s 8′ x 14′ and meant to be off the grid with solar battery power and a rainwater collection system. For heat the owner is planning on using a simple wood stove and since it’s well [...]

I thought you would enjoy this shed from a tiny house design that was converted into an amazing little bunkhouse. Sheds make great bunkhouses because they are typically small and simple in design. Additionally, sheds can be easily insulated to create a comfortable living space. And, because they are not attached to a house, they [...]

I’ll admit – it has been a long time since I was single. Over 18 years, in fact. Since I live comfortably in 120 square feet with one other person (and a cat) I started to think about what kind of space would be right for a single tiny house owner. Before I provide my [...]

Here’s a tiny house that you probably haven’t seen before. It’s a 9′ x 24′ Irish Gypsy Cottage as named by Joe O’Conner of Zoe Cottages. At just 200-square-feet I think you’ll be surprised at how spacious it might feel relative to most of the 8’6″ wide versions that we normally see on trailers. Also [...]

People ask us all the time how we can live together in 120 square feet. It is asked as though people are surprised that a couple would even have any interest in being that close to one another. We always smile and laugh politely and tell them that we have 15 acres so we always [...]

Just wanted to let you know about the “Outhouse” tiny house for sale by Tennessee Tiny Homes. Update: SOLD I actually had the chance of personally touring this micro house on wheels while at a RelaxShacks.com workshop earlier this year. It’s available right now (unless someone already snapped it up) for just $12,500 and is [...]

If you love tiny houses but seriously question whether you think you’d be able to live in one or not long term renting one is a great way to figure that out. And although expensive, it costs much less money and time than building one and finding out the hard way that it isn’t right [...]

Now here’s a tiny house that instantly makes you feel like you’re looking at a UFO. Only it’s not a UFO. It’s a modern tiny house called Futuro. This is a totally out of this world home designed by architect Matti Suuronen in 1968. The nature of it’s design reflects the mentality of the sixties when people [...]

I’m sure most of you are familiar with the film TINY: the Movie, it was produced by Christopher Smith and Merete Mueller. They are owners of a beautiful 127 square feet home located in Colorado that costs almost nothing to power. The couple always wanted to own their own property in the mountains but didn’t [...]

I have been part of the tiny house community since I first saw Jay Shafer on Oprah back in 2008. We used that inspiration to begin building our tiny house in 2009. As you might imagine, since that time I have seen a lot of other tiny house blogs and become part of the small [...]

I’m excited to show you my friend Joe’s latest tiny house build. He’s the man behind Tennessee Tiny Homes who I got to have beers with while at Deek and Steven’s Relaxshacks.com workshop in North Carolina earlier this year. The house has already been delivered to a customer near the Arkansas/Louisiana border. I think you’ll enjoy the [...]

I love this type of tiny house because it has a bit of that modern touch that I enjoy so I just had to share it with you. Well, it isn’t exactly a tiny house, it’s actually a backyard study and office. The owners, Celestino Piralla and Cornelia Stumpf, wanted more space in their home [...]

After running into this teardrop camper by Teddybear Teardrops I just couldn’t help to share it with you. I’m a big fan of teardrops because they’re easy and cheap to build. And they’re also easy and cheap to tow. So even if you’re not doing well financially, chances are you can pull one of these [...]

This is the incredible story of a father and his son who set the audacious goal of building a tiny pioneer-style log cabin, in Alaska, in only 15 days. Is it even possible to do that? Well, I suppose we will find out, but this old boy and his son sure think they can, and [...]

Along with our solar power system, we have set up a relatively primitive water system in our tiny house. I have mentioned our Berkey water filter before, but that is only one step in our water process. It starts at a spring about 150 vertical feet down the mountain. Right now we collect water from [...]
