Holly and her husband Charles moved across Australia to care for Holly’s mom who has Alzheimer’s. They parked the home on a family compound where Holly’s parents have a house and so does her sister and her husband and kids! Now they can all pitch in to watch after Holly’s mom and keep her out of care as long as possible.
A tiny house gave them the option to live as close as they could, but still the freedom to take the home elsewhere someday when Holly’s mom needs to go into full-time care. It’s a heartwarming (and heartbreaking) story, and the 24-foot tiny home is truly gorgeous! Let us know what you think in the comments.

Here’s an amazing hand-crafted tiny house with a writer’s desk. Built primarily from reclaimed materials, all the wood inside is sealed with all-natural tung oil, a non-toxic alternative to polyurethanes and stains. Any paint you see is old-fashioned milk paint; everything is either plywood or natural wood—no MDF or particleboard. Finally, the fabrics chosen are natural latex and wool (so watch out if you’re allergic!).
The house design includes a compact corner kitchen and a wet bath (you provide the composting toilet). There’s a lovely painted table in the middle of the house and a futon in the living room area. A small desk space is set up to allow you to work from home. Finally, you can climb a ladder to the bedroom loft, where a skylight gives you views of the stars. It was listed for $104K.

Just like this Scottish cow-shed we showed you a couple of weeks ago, this 200-year-old cottage in the UK has been completely renovated, and the results are absolutely stunning. You’d never know you were inside a historic building except for the beautifully preserved cast iron kitchen they framed off in the living room.
Even though the cottage is contemporary, it’s far from sterile. The warm wood tones and stone features make it cozy and interesting. Up the stairs, you’ll find a grand bedroom with a Super King bed, a soaking tub, a glass shower, and a separate private toilet room. What do you think of this design?

Kirsty needed a place to live with her daughter and decided a tiny house would be the perfect, affordable fit. While there were a lot of ups and downs in getting the house from the builder, they got an incredible parking spot in a small community with other like-minded families! Did I mention there’s an orchard on-site?
The home has two lofts—one for Kirsty and one for her daughter—and you reach them via safe staircases that also offer storage. The huge kitchen maximizes counter space and makes homemade meals easy! On the other side of the house, you’ll find a U-shaped dinette area that they use to welcome friends for dinner every week. What do you think of this space?

This is an incredible round floating tower cottage on a lake in Joncherey, France. It’s part of a larger community of eco-friendly habitats that share a lovely “lodge” on the shore with a spa and full bathrooms.
The floating home is reminiscent of “Swiss Family Robinson,” with rustic railings made from limbs and an all-wooden interior. There is a little bathroom on the first floor, and the second floor houses a queen bed. The deck area wraps around the house, providing a comfortable spot to enjoy nature and a mug of coffee.

Steve and Di were living in an urban apartment when Di started crunching numbers and realizing that having a child would make it tough to make ends meet. That’s when she and Steve decided that a DIY tiny house would give them more time with their son, less time at work, and a closer connection to the land.
They’ve been living in a tiny home for about 5 years and have moved it a couple of times before settling on their current rural homestead in Australia. The little house is off-grid, powered by solar, with a composting toilet, a garden, and animals. They love their remote and quiet life, especially spending time on the huge porch that wraps around two of the walls.
