Do you remember your college days of being piled in a concrete room with one or two other strangers? Or perhaps your first off-campus apartment that was barely passing building code and featured constant repair issues? These new studio apartments, built for the freshman students at Erasmus in the Netherlands, are sure to make you jealous!
The architects at Studio Standard were called upon to transform an old office building into functional housing for Erasmus Exchange students. They used “tiny house” inspiration to make the 162-square-foot spaces into fully-functioning homes including a kitchen, bathroom, queen bed, dining space, couch, and office space! Apartment designers all over the world should take inspiration from this innovative design going forward.

Mike first fell in love with vanlife after he built out a ProMaster in Boston and traveled with his brother. Eventually, they sold that rig, and he went back to “normal” life, finding himself working in Florida where he met Sara. She’d never heard of vanlife, but he slowly convinced that getting a shuttle bus and doing a conversion in just 90 days would be a fun adventure.
They completed their conversion on schedule, quit their stable, well-paying jobs, and are now living off savings and what they earn as a part-time DJ and earring-creator. The bus has an incredible layout, with a full bathroom and a bed facing the “wrong” direction to allow for a small hallway and storage.

This is a beautiful Slovenia Lake House that was just renovated in April of 2023! While the exterior and exposed beams indoors harken back to the cottage’s past life, the clean lines and amenities indoors make this a fantastic getaway for the modern couple or family. It sits right on Lake Bled and has private beach access, kayaks, and a dock with sunbathing chairs.
The 450-square-foot space includes an L-shaped couch that becomes a bed on the first floor, and there’s sleeping space for three more in the loft. A kitchen with a cooktop and mini-fridge sits in the open-concept main room, and a table for four fills up the middle of the space. And yes, there’s also a luxurious tiled bathroom.

Meet Fern: she’s a beautiful 30-foot-long Modern Farmhouse tiny home by Made Relative — and she’s for sale! If you’re thinking this looks a lot like the Aspen we showed you recently, you’re right. While the layout is identical, Fern has a different color scheme and finishes, giving you a unique space to call home.
She gets her name from the lovely fern-green metal siding and roofing on her exterior. When you step inside, you’ll find shiplap walls with beautiful wood and live-edge accents in the living and kitchen space. A large bathroom with a fiberglass shower, basin sink and plenty of storage will make it feel like you haven’t gone tiny at all! You can purchase this THOW for $92,000.

If you loved the layout of the Coastal Home by Handcrafted Movement we showed you yesterday, but it wasn’t exactly your style, then take a look at the “Country” version of that same design. Instead of creamy white hues all over, this THOW mixes warm browns, brass tones, and a natural taupe-green color to create a cozy feel.
This 30-foot-long home dedicates the back portion to a private first-floor bedroom with a walk-in closet. The middle of the home is taken up by an open-concept living room and galley kitchen (with seating for four!) and then the final section of the home houses a 3/4 bathroom with a loft overhead. It’s for sale now for $129,000. Let us know what you love most about this house!
