Caitlin isn’t the first person to say that van life has helped their mental health, and she won’t be the last! After a divorce, she left her vast, beautiful home and moved into a custom-built van conversion that met all her needs. She feels so much freedom in downsizing and minimizing her belongings.
But just because she’s gone tiny doesn’t mean she’s left behind comfort! Her van has a wet bathroom with an Airhead toilet, beautiful countertops, and a dishwasher, which she loves because it uses little water. Enjoy the tour of this stunning van below.

This is the Purple Heart Manor built by Acorn Tiny Homes in Toronto, Canada. It’s an ultra custom medieval-inspired tiny house built on a 43′ long x 10.5′ wide gooseneck trailer.
The exterior has a dramatic roofline, faux stone siding, a solid mahogany Tudor-style door, beautifully crafted stained glass windows, and there’s even a catio (a cat patio!). Inside you’ll find more medieval-inspired touches, including a chandelier, a Victorian vanity, dungeon-style wallpaper, and soon there’ll even be a suit of armor in there! The homeowner is also passionate about purple, so there are purple tiles, purple ceilings, purple sinks – purple everything!

As a fellow goat-owner, I really didn’t believe it when I saw a woman was living in a micro wagon with — a GOAT. But the story is actually amazingly heartwarming and her goat is potty-trained. I’m still glad mine are in the barn, but her story is amazing.
She purchased the handcrafted wagon from a Roma man who had built it, and she tows it with her Jeep which has extra storage and a special goat seat for “Little Leaf.” You have to watch the video to believe it.

This vintage structure went from ladies’ loo to vintage tiny house. It’s the story of the Loovre cottage in Berwick-upon-Tweed, Northumberland which is in North East England featuring an open studio layout with a kitchenette, dining nook, sleeping area, and a wet bath.
It used to be a Victorian ladies’ loo up until the 1950s. More recently it was being used as a tiny ice cream parlor but today it’s a fancy little studio cottage in a quiet corner of a place called Berwick-upon-Tweed within the Elizabethan Town Walls that you can actually stay in. Take a look at it below, learn more, and let us know what you think about it in the comments!

Amir emailed us this week to show off the awesome caravan wagon he and his 15-year-old son built together. It’s a space for them to hang out and work.
The story is that I wanted to build a small wagon for me and my son to have a place for recreation in our village.
So we built it on a small cart we found. Bigger than the cart. It has a small balcony with a kitchen.
And a shower outside under a tree.
I use it for writing and meeting people for coaching; and my son ( 15 y.o.) for hanging out with his friends.
I am an architect in my profession, and a coach. My son is in arts highschool here in Israel.

Scott & Ashley have done it again! They found an amazing tiny home, this time in Durham, NC, that you can rent on Airbnb.
The amazing part of this little cottage is that it started out as a dilapidated shed! Now, the 451 square foot farmhouse is a lovely one-bedroom, one-bathroom vacation property that shows you just how lovely a tiny house on a foundation can be.
Enjoy the video tour from Hive Drive Bus below. They got to take their dogs to this pet-friendly home, and the results are pretty adorable.
