JT’s tiny house is a combination of a Tumbleweed Walden and Lusby.
He used his own creative ways to customize this tiny house for his own needs.
Isn’t that what it’s all about? Creating a home that perfectly suits your needs.
That’s what I love about these little homes: you can use plans to help you with construction and design but ultimately you can tweak anything to your own desires.
That’s why I think it’s so important to take your time when you’re building or designing your own tiny house. Don’t rush through it and don’t be afraid to question your initial plans throughout the process.
So let’s take a look at how JT’s tiny house project turned out. Below is a wonderful shot of he and the house on the road with a landscape view.

When you go inside, I bet it smells like fresh wood. I’d love that. As you can see below JT used tongue and groove pine for the interior walls and ceiling.
There are enough windows to bring in plenty of light throughout the day and there’s a little storage loft directly above the entrance that you can either use for decorations, storage, or both. Let’s head to the kitchen.
The shelves built into the wall here save lots of space and help keep the kitchen organized. The sink is small but just large enough to comfortably wash pans and dishes in. As is normal in small kitchens, vertical space is used to store pots, pans, and cooking necessities.
Don’t miss the commercial style wire shelves where JT keeps his microwave, extra dishes, and kitchen containers. Plus the space and energy efficient Frigidaire refrigerator with freezer.
Another example of vertical storage in the bathroom with the built in shelving. And notice how small the sink is.
Finally the iconic tiny house sleeping loft. It looks comfortable, cozy, and just wonderful to rest in. The window, lighting, and natural wood scent and feel must be really enjoyable. Thank you so much for sharing JT.

woman opening boutique on wheels
2012 OCTOBER • BY JESSICA HOLDMAN | BISMARCK TRIBUNE
Therissa Heit’s red hair and transient approach to fashion were the inspiration behind the name of her Scarlet Gypsy Traveling Boutique. Heit is turning a bus she bought from a local church into a mini boutique. “It’ll be like a tiny store,” she said.“Then I’ll be able to move from place to place.” Heit said she got the inspiration for her rolling boutique from a magazine article about similar stores on wheels in California.
“They’re doing very well there,” she said. “I figured we could use it.” Heit said she’s noticed a lot of her friends were driving to Fargo or the Twin Cities or shopping online. She wanted to make fashion more accessible. “I can go wherever the customer is,” she said. Plus, she’ll save money on rent. Heit will sell women’s jewelry, clothing and purses. She said her inventory will be dressy trend items for events like date night, weddings, a trip to Las Vegas or lunch with friends. She will not carrythings like basic T-shirts or tank tops. Heit, who’s originally from Mandan, studied fashion at the Art Institute of Dallas. Since then she has worked in several retail positions, managing stores and buying merchandise for them. She said she sees herself as kind of a stylist.
“I’ve always just loved fashion,” she said. Heit gets her inspiration from Pinterest and fashion magazines. She said being confined to a smaller store space will force her to be more choosey. “It’ll only be things that I love,” she said. Heit said the bus is 17 feet by 8 feet and will have a fitting room in the back. It will be decorated like a boutique more commonly seen in New York or Europe.
Well now…I’m not sure about all these other comments, but mine relate simply to the little house itself.
It’s GORGEOUS!!!!
Here’s my message to JT:
JT, you have designed a perfect little home. It’s cozy, well laid out and filled with quality and love. I am envious for sure and whether it’s for one person or more, it’s lovely.
Congratulations – if you ever travel to Calgary, AB, my hubby and I would love to meet you and talk about small home living….it’s hopefully in our near future as well!
Cheers!
Pamela
Nice work JT!! I wish I lived where there was low cost wood boards so I could do similar.
Love the clever recessed shelves! Makes everything look so much sleeker & BIGGER. And the space is “free”. Thanks JT…well done!
High Barb and All,
Similar shelves on doors, cabinets can really increase storage you can see and get at easily by using wasted space.
Just looking at Collin & Joanna’s Fencl that is for sale & thinking how I would like to come home to a house that looked that that! Would anyone happen to know where you would get a tiny front door like theirs? So unique, would let lots of light in & the color is terrific against the cedar.
For spaciousness, try recessed lighting and convert all media to a handheld computer.
Stack a set of dishes/pans along with dry goods beneath the kitchen sink.
Rather than a loft, try a daybed or futon couch.
Store items in pull-out baskets beneath
furniture.
“That’s what I love about these little homes: you can use plans to help you with construction and design but ultimately you can tweak anything to your own desires.”
Isn’t that true about any home? Duh.
“That’s what I love about these little homes: you can use plans to help you with construction and design but ultimately you can tweak anything to your own desires.”
And how is that different than buildng any other home?
“That’s what I love about these little homes: you CAN use plans to help you with construction and design but ultimately you CAN tweak anything to your own desires.”
So on big homes you CAN’T use plans to help you with construction and design and CAN’T tweak anything to your own desires?
Tim,
What’s the deal?
I’d though that would be obvious and so does the author I bet. You can’t cover every little point in a short article.
And then 3 posts on it? And isn’t this about little homes, not big ones?
I’d like to see some homes with a downstairs bedroom that Senior Citizens could live in. Maybe with a porch.
I got one tomorrow that you’ll like then. I’m working on it now. It’s a 585 sq. ft. cottage with a pretty cool story to go along with it 🙂
I really like it, JT. Very similar to what I’m starting to plan.
However, looking at the insets in the walls, do I take it that you don’t intend to be in cold weather? One of the things I’m looking at for mine is good insulation- particularly after this winter… (Looking at those poor folks in Atlanta, where a couple inches of snow has shut them down).
Good afternoon Alex – is there a maximum distance that a tiny house can
be moved. I will be in Ontario Canada. What if I buy a tiny house from say North Carolina- is that too far away?
thank you .
Ooh, that sounds like fun! Theresa’s got the right plan, and I envy her. If only I were young enough to pick a circuit I could drive, I might love something like what she is going to do! I wish her the best, in safety on the road, sales, and happiness!
