I’ve never seen a tiny house layout quite like this one! Not only does it have built-in full-sized bunk beds, but above those beds is an entire loft that you can stand in, making it easy to sleep 6 people (7 if someone sleeps on the couch)!

The kitchen takes up the back wall, while the full bathroom sits on the other end of the home. In the middle, you’ll find space for a small sectional. Oh, and did I mention the deck and awning can be included? The house is for sale for $78K in Fullerton, California.

Crissy and Brian have five children, and while the idea of traveling in an RV together had sounded attractive for a while, it wasn’t until the three teenagers moved out that it seemed feasible space-wise. They were ready to start spending more time together and more time outdoors, and their life in a toy hauler allows them just that!

They purchased the RV new and have made some improvements to make it fit their needs. Enjoy a photo tour of the space below, and hear from Crissy about why they went tiny and what they love most (and find most challenging) about this lifestyle.

This was the first-ever tiny house built by Kevin and Heather Fritz that began their journey into full-time tiny house building with Fritz Tiny Homes. The incredible home is up for sale again and whoever gets it will be lucky!

Despite coming in at just 8′ 6″ wide, it feels remarkably more spacious than that with an L-shaped kitchen, comfortable living area, and a bathroom with a luxurious soaking tub and rainfall shower head! The custom woodwork, however, is what really makes this model shine! The home sold for $160K originally, and you can contact them for details on purchasing.

Lily and Dylan have an incredible tiny life — living on the Seattle waterfront next to million-dollar homes — for a fraction of the cost! Their floating home allows them to enjoy incredible views without the crazy price tag.

While the house is now mostly a barge, it was “seaworthy” in its heyday. The couple have paid homage to the homes’ past by preserving much of the original woodwork and displaying old pictures of the houseboat inside. Enjoy the remarkable tour below!

Container homes are always neat, but I just love what they did with the faux stone on the exterior of this one! What makes the inside so special is the use of all reclaimed wood. It’s especially lovely in the cozy first-floor bedroom.

The full bathroom features a vintage pedestal sink and the bathroom has an old cast iron sink, giving the home extra character. There’s a comfortable living room and seating for four at the dining table. Could you live in this container home?

Lindsey’s love for travel started right after college when she hit the road with friends in a truck, unknowingly setting the stage for the nomadic lifestyle she enjoys today. Now a travel nurse, she takes on assignments across the country — and her customized $26K camper van makes every location feel like home.

She spent a full year designing and building out her van, keeping everything simple, functional, and cozy. With a fixed bed for daytime rest between night shifts, plenty of cabinets for storage, and a compact but charming kitchenette, her layout shows how comfortable van life can be with thoughtful planning.

What part of her conversion inspires you the most?

Like so many others, the events of 2020 changed the trajectory for Libby and Alex. Instead of going to concerts all summer, they purchased an RV and started traveling. Alex also suffered a stroke at 25 which changed his perspective on life. After they went on a 6-week honeymoon exploring the Northwest, they couldn’t go back to “normal” life again!

The pair decided to rent their home on Airbnb and purchase a bigger luxury RV to fit their need to work remotely and their two large dogs. Let us know what you think in the comments.
