One of the easiest ways to keep costs down in a tiny house is to build it tinier! A 16-foot THOW is about as small as we usually see them, and this one features an elevator bed, which is an awesome way to increase your floor space without a loft or even a futon/dinette that requires making it and unmaking it daily.
There’s also a fold-down porch off the front which allows for more outdoor living space when the weather is good. The compact galley kitchen has a fridge and sink and small toaster oven and microwave. The bathroom in the back has a toilet and shower. It’s for sale for $35K in Colorado Springs.

James hasn’t had it easy growing up. His father and a number of his aunts and uncles died before the age of 45, reminding James that we don’t all have forever to live. Inspired by the Air Nomads from “Avatar: The Last Airbender,” James is determined to live a life not attached to material things, but bringing peace and harmony wherever he goes.
One way he does that is by sharing free tea with strangers wherever he goes. Much like Uncle Iroh (also from Avatar), he finds there’s something magical about tea and conversation. His beautiful van conversion was built intentionally inside and out and every part has a story. Don’t miss the engaging tour with him below!

This is a stunning bus conversion made precisely to the needs of DJ and Rachel and their three wonderful dogs. They live in it part-time for vacations since they have a “regular” house and full-time jobs. While they might like to travel someday full-time, it’s simply not in the cards at this time.
They’ve been vacationing in it for two years after a very methodical build process. Instead of opting for the cheapest and quickest options, they took the time to create it exactly as they wanted and spent more than they had planned (which seems to be the way with most projects!). I hope you enjoy a tour of the space below.

Here’s a tiny house on wheels that feels just like tinies “of old.” Appropriately named “The Classic,” this 20 ft. tiny home has the standard layout of many original tiny homes, but this one does upgrade with a storage staircase featuring a unique alternating step.
The loft bedroom is carpeted to make it extra comfortable, and there’s a nice bathroom next to the L-shaped kitchen. On the other end of the tiny house, there’s just enough room for a small couch. A flip-down bar sits in front of two large windows for a great eating spot. It’s for sale now for $56,000 and will be available to tour at the Gather & Create Tiny Home Festival on May 6 & 7 (more info here).

This couple went on a vacation on a narrowboat before 2020 upended the world, and fell in love with the idea of living on the water. Still, they wanted a little more space than the narrowboat offered, so they started searching for a wide-beam boat instead.
They ended up purchasing a show model, and the new boat is absolutely gorgeous! The finishes are sleek and modern and look like a fashionable city apartment — but they get all the beauty of living on the water and waking up somewhere new when they want to. Be sure to look at all the pictures and catch our Q&A with the couple below!

Because park models are rarely moved, you can usually get them wider than the legal road allowance, which allows for a spacious living space. That’s very true in this 15×35 Monarca model with plenty of elbow room!
Remarkably it comes with a lovely covered porch on the outside, but the interior is also grand with a spacious living room, downstairs bedroom with a closet, and a well-designed bathroom with a tiled walk-in shower. It’s for sale now in Loop Liberty Hall, Texas for $83,000. What do you think?
