    This is so fun! Love the “woodsy industrial” feel. It’s very homey, and your claustrophobia has served you well with the wonderful windows and skylights. Thanks for the tour! Enjoy your Tiny!

      they didn’t enjoy their house for long. One of the Youtube videos shows that the family was served with eviction (in July 2016) after 6 weeks. They set up the house in a friend’s backyard. Two dwellings on a single property is against ordinance. I don’t know what has happened since.

    Very nicely done. Good job. I also love the outdoor sitting area that you can see through the window.

    Really cool! I love the eating area with the yellow metal stools. Looks good with the gray scheme. Very nice place!

    Beautiful inside and the yard. I feel such a lovely vibe. Your family should be very happy here.

    I loved the tour, thank you. I do have a question though about all of the fans. Why all of the fans? I saw 2-3 in your loft alone, and one when you first walk in. Does the A/C not cool your tiny house, and if not why not get a larger one? Just wondering is all. Other wise your home is perfect.

      It was an exceptionally humid day, we had a film crew coming to a tiny house, so with a window air conditioner I was just trying to pump the cool air around…especially with the door opening and closing so frequently.

    The kitchen is very nice, however, I don’t understand the short door for the bathroom. I would need more privacy than that. I also am not fond of stairs sticking out into the room.

    Really excellent, fantastic work and in a lovely setting. There is nothing that I dislike about this house, it’s really special and a credit to the family.

    The idea of an outward opening door leading directly onto a set of steps without even a hand rail horrifies me. In many places this would be against code.

    Great design and layout! I have cats and always wond what the vest way would be to handle the litter box – excellent!

    Really lovely tiny house, loved the kitchen and all the skylights especially. Only thing I would want a closet for my clothes…but if it were mine the extra loft would probably be utilized for that. I found her to be totally annoying though.

    Wonder if anyone is tracking the divorce rate for tiny home residents.

    Absolutely love everything about this tiny home. Great taste!

    Am I dense? (Please, no answer required). I cannot locate the cat mansion. I absolutely love how they made this home their own. My favorite thing is when people’s tastes, personality, loves shine through. Great job!

      Hi Sarah 🙂 You have to watch the video 🙂 It’s a little cat pod on the outside.

    C’mon, am I to believe that they didn’t know the ordinances before investing all that time and money in the house? And without restrictions your neighbor would have twenty thows and be charging them. Who would want that? Cat is impressive however.

    Also from Wisconsin and I’ve driven past your place many times. Very nice!

    This is nice! Not liking the bathroom door. The toilet would be ripped out and a normal toilet would be installed. Don’t like the compost toilets. This is very pretty and the layout is real nice!!! Design of the tiny home is very appealing.
