Bob is an incredible sculptor with an artist’s eye for turning trash into treasure, and that’s what happened when he came across a £1 grain silo for sale on eBay one afternoon. Since he works with scrap metal already, an entire silo’s worth of it seemed like a gold mine. What he didn’t expect at the time was that he’d turn it into a fully functional tiny house and live in it with Carol Ann for 5 and a half years!
What’s remarkable about the silo is not just that it’s a DIY home, but that most of the interior — including the furniture — was also crafted out of reclaimed materials. The couch is welded from chains and the back seat of a VW beetle! A washing machine door window is the porthole in the bathroom. Old piping became the ladder to the bedroom loft. This tour is just so fascinating, so don’t miss out on the video below.

As always, Baluchon has delivered a gorgeous custom tiny home to get another happy customer! Coline wanted a 19.5-foot trailer designed with cooking in mind, so her kitchen takes up nearly half the square footage of the first floor. She has an additional flip-up section of counter that doubles as her dining area.
She chose a loft bedroom with a lower landing that allows her to stand up by the bed. The living room has a cozy couch and large windows that are painted a rusty red color on the exterior. Finally, she has a small bathroom with a shower and composting toilet, and a mini wood stove to keep warm. What do you think?

Samantha had been searching for the perfect van for nearly a year when she decided to pivot and start looking at RVs. Believe it or not, her neighbor was selling his amazing ’95 Lazy Daze, and immediately upon entering, she knew she wanted it! It took her a couple of years before she hit the road full-time, and now she’s been traveling in it for a couple of months and has no intentions of going back to normal life.
She’s kept the rig largely original, since it’s a well-saught-after RV and she wants to preserve its vintage charm. While there’s a bed over the cab, Samantha created a twin bed in the dinette area so she can keep it in both “dining” and “sleeping” mode simultaneously. She uses the cab bed for additional storage. Check it out below!

John Luke and Jackie were tired of never seeing each other because of their work schedules. When they found a ’93 Toyota campervan for sale, they thought they’d just “look at it.” But they ended up purchasing it on the spot! After that, they began the process of overhauling the interior and eventually adding fiberglass to the exterior so it would stop leaking! They sleep over the cab in a comfy queen bed, and their rig has a bathroom and oven — which were must-haves for them. They added solar and a composting toilet so they can boondock. Awesome!
