Craftsman John Collum’s Amazing Single-Level THOW Design


This post contains affiliate links.

Here’s a beautiful new 30′ tiny home that makes use of the wonderful Murphy bed invention! This single-level tiny home has a living room that quickly transforms into a bedroom at night by deploying the bed and “hiding” the couch in the process.

It also has the kitchen and bathroom on opposite sides of the home, which some people prefer for sanitary reasons. The U-shaped kitchen fits all full-sized appliances, so you can cook absolutely anything you want! And in the extra-spacious bathroom, you get a walk-in shower stall, private toilet area, and oodles of storage. The home is for sale in Santa Cruz, CA for $128,000.

Murphy Bed Tiny House w/ Gorgeous Shingles

The exterior is a beautiful blend of dark green metal and cedar shingles.

An overhang covers the entry porch.

Here’s the living room in “day” mode.

So many skylights let in oodles of natural light.

There’s an oven and four-burners.

Look at the amazing size of that sink!

Cabinets with glass insets let you show off your nicer dishes.

Here’s the main area in “bedtime” mode.

Lots of storage on either side of the bed!

Notice how the couch supports the bed at night.

Another look at all the skylights!

Even more storage in the bathroom.

The home is heated and cooled with a mini-split

The shower had both a luxurious rainfall head and a separate handheld head.

You have a washer/dryer combo unit here.

There are wavy tiles all around the bathroom.

There is a smaller loft for storage, or possibly guests.
