Emily fell in love with tiny homes after reading a book by Deek Diedricksen, but it took going to a tiny house festival with her husband, Dan, to get him on board. After that, they spent a week camping to see if they could do it, and decided tiny living was for them!

That’s when they built out their amazing 50 square foot vardo, which holds absolutely everything the couple owns. It includes a composting toilet (made from her old hope chest!), an induction cooktop, and a residential ac to keep things comfortable.

This is such a lovely couple, which you’ll see from the video from Tiny Home Tours.

You could hit the road tomorrow in this off-grid 1989 Chevy Carpenter bus conversion for sale in Kansas City, Arkansas. The home on wheels includes a queen-sized bedroom in the back, a twin couch bed, and all the off-grid appliances you need like a pellet stove and composting toilet.

The electric can hook up to shore power as well, for convenience, and you’ll get the mini-fridge and Cuisinart cooktop included in the $35,000 asking price. The tires are in good shape and the vehicle (with 160k miles) still runs fine. What do you think?

Get more details after the photo tour below, and contact the seller over at Tiny House Marketplace.

I love Jordana’s lifestyle because it shows that you can enjoy the benefits of alternative lifestyles without necessarily owning anything — not even a van! She and her fiance rent two fun off-grid structures: A straw bale cabin and a little cob cabin, each of which are about 220 square feet, in Southern Oregon.

While the couple wanted to escape the city and jump into cob-building their own home right away, they decided to take it slow and learn to live in these structures and develop “land skills” before taking the plunge — which is so wise!

Jordana (@jordana_moon_home on Instagram) explains in our Q&A with her (read it all at the end of the post!) that they are more or less “glamping” with nothing more than 12V batteries to power a couple light bulbs and charge their phones, plus no internet access and no hot water in the cabins, which is a huge shift from city life. But in the process, they are getting closer to nature and learning more about how little they can live with and still love life.

This amazingly curved modern small home in Krakow, Poland was designed by Arciteckt.Lemanski.

It was created for a client of theirs who wanted to have gardening space even though the lot didn’t have very much outdoor space.

Inside the house, the client wanted a simple and minimalist look and feel while still ensuring the home was perfectly functional. The result is what you see below.
