Silo conversions are among the most creative approaches to alternative housing, and this three-bedroom cottage in Vian, Oklahoma proves that these agricultural structures can become surprisingly spacious family homes. Located near Lake Tenkiller and within walking distance of Tenkiller State Park, this converted silo demonstrates how vertical space in a cylindrical structure can accommodate multiple bedrooms.
With 3 bedrooms and 1.5 baths spread across two floors, this silo cottage challenges the assumption that round structures are impractical for traditional living. All bedrooms are located upstairs, while the main floor houses the living areas and a half bath.

Samantha was tired of seasonal depression coming on with the dark gloomy days of winter — so she got a pop-up truck camper that lets her chase the sunshine and warmer weather to keep her spirits up!
The 1983 Sun Lite Pop-up has lots of original features like upholstery and wallpaper that give it a groovy feel. She works full-time on the road and gets outdoors during the nicest part of the day and travels on the weekend. What do you think of her rig?

At 23 feet, this was the stretched version of ESCAPE’s Boho, and the extra length goes exactly where it should. Like every Boho, there’s no loft — instead you get a queen bed on the main floor beneath a picture window, and the added feet mean the bed no longer crowds the living space.
The exterior wears shou sugi ban-style paneling, the charred-look finish that hides weathering and road grime far better than a pale siding. Inside, open upper shelving runs around most of the walls — a deliberate choice over upper cabinets, which visually drop the ceiling in a narrow space. The kitchen carries white stone countertops, a stainless range with hood, and a tall refrigerator/freezer. The bathroom has a flush toilet, a fiberglass shower, and a frosted door. Climate is handled by a mini-split heat pump with on-demand propane hot water.
Editor’s note: this unit was listed at $61,042 (including a $4.1K discount) in early 2023 and has sold. The Boho line is still in production — current listings are linked below.

We’ve seen tons of van conversions, but the Nevis van conversion from Brown Bird and Company has some truly one-of-a-kind features. The L-shaped couch really stands out, and there’s a wet bath partitioning off the double bed in the back of the conversion.
Unlike most conversions, the kitchen is in the front of the van across the cab. This makes the inside of the van feel particularly wide open! We got to interview Laura, one of the three masterminds of the company, below, so don’t miss that.

Stacey wanted to live nomadically even before it was popular, but hesitated until two years ago, when she finally found a van and chased her dream!
She practices Buddhism and meditation and made sure her van fit her lifestyle. Most of her indoor time she spends at her bench and slide-out table. As a vegan, she doesn’t cook a ton, but has a cute little kitchen for preparing plant-based meals. Enjoy her tour!

What would you do if you suddenly lost the job you thought you’d have forever? For Stacey and her husband, it turned out to be the best thing that ever happened to them.
The couple had been living in a 2,800-square-foot home with three bedrooms, four bathrooms, and a three-car garage. After the upheaval of 2020, Stacey — a C-suite healthcare executive — started questioning whether the high-pressure career and the big house were really what she wanted. They bought a 448-square-foot cottage near the beach as a weekend escape, planning to fix it up over time.
Then Stacey was laid off. Suddenly facing a new financial reality, the couple made a bold decision: sell the big house, sell most of their belongings from their 30-year marriage, and move into the tiny cottage full-time. What started as a crisis became a complete life transformation.
