Tiny Houses

When we first decided we wanted to build our own house we were always interested in some type of alternative living situation. The reasons for this are varied and some are probably rather unexplainable. The best way to articulate it is that we wanted to prove to ourselves that we could live comfortably and inexpensively [...]

I just had to show you this rustic tiny house on wheels because it’s so unique. Well, it’s not really a house. It’s just a shed on wheels. But here’s a tiny house that has a rustic look to it. Anyways, this shed has that vintage touch along with the reclaimed/rustic feel. Built by Bob [...]

Last month Dan and I got to run the first official Tiny Home Builders tiny house workshop together. And I had a great time getting to be a part of it. Especially interacting with all of the awesome participants we got to have. We had such a good time, that some of them even shared [...]

To me, it’s not common to get to see so many different styles of tiny houses in one place. In this case, we’ve got a Spanish style home, a little cottage, an Asian-inspired tiny house and a really small Spanish style adobe cottage. And they’re all tiny or at least “small” in my opinion. But [...]

Wanted to show you this tiny treehouse cabin in Italy today. It’s one of those Airbnb places that you can vacation in. This particular one is a cabin on stilts surrounded by trees. The micro home has a full bathroom, bedroom and porch. All with panoramic views of the hills. They call it Aroma(n)tica. Enjoy more photos [...]

The other day we got this comment on one of the new Tumbleweed tiny houses that just came out. How well can someone over 6 feet tall and over 300 pounds live in this? And the best answer I could think of, was this: If you’re asking that, you may want to look at this [...]

Today I’m showing you Dan Louche’s Tinier Living tiny house. He’s the owner of Tiny Home Builders and you’ve most likely seen his other tiny houses: Tiny Living here and here Tiny Retirement here and here Tinier Living: A Really Tiny Tiny House Even though it’s a super small one it’s well designed so that it feels [...]

I haven’t shared the news from Tumbleweed tiny houses with you yet. They’ve recently released their new Cypress 20 tiny house design and plans. Cypress 20 Tiny House This model is much like the Fencl but this one’s 20′ long instead of 19′. So it’s just a bit larger and designed differently inside. Let me [...]

To me that’s what tiny houses are all about. Because a tiny home provides shelter at it’s most basic form. Meeting your Needs the Smartest Way Life is all really about meeting our basic human needs and growing from there. And only after we do that can we really flourish, or grow. Right? That’s what [...]

When you’re building a space that is 200 square feet or less your bathroom is probably going to be quite small. Considering half of the space will be taken up with a toilet, composting or otherwise, a very small shower will be imperative. As it turns out, there are more options than you might imagine [...]

Why do you want a tiny bunk cabin on a trailer? Is it to put in your backyard for visitors or are you going to live in it? Tiny Bunk Cabin I don’t think this one’s big enough for most of us to live in but it can be used as a separate micro guest [...]

I usually show you tiny houses on wheels but today I’m showing you a modern truck RV/motorhome by MCM Design. Besides that I also like to share teardrop campers and other RVs with you too. So today I ask you the question, “would you rather go with a modern motorhome like this… Or a tiny house [...]

I absolutely love it when people use their creativity when designing and building their tiny houses. And this Tiny Midwest house is definitely one of those cases as you’ll notice once you take a look at the interior. From the decorations to the materials used and the choices in appliances and hardware. You can just [...]

Guest Post by Andrew Odom If you notice the photos do not show a bathroom built in this tiny house. The Odom’s tiny house is part of a larger idea that encompasses the addition of an ANNEX. The ANNEX will flow right from the initial tiny house trailer. There the permanent bathroom will be situated [...]

In this post I’m going to show you how to pick the right siding for your tiny house because when most people think about tiny houses they focus almost entirely on the interior finish of the house. It’s easy to think of all the ways you would decorate your tiny house. I had many plans [...]
