Originally, Maggie and her father were thinking of building a full-time-residence tiny home, but when her pottery hobby really took off back in 2020, the two decided a mobile pottery studio was in order.
Their 12×8 creation is absolutely stunning, and it has heating, AC, electricity, and plumbing. It acted as her storefront for a while, but now it’s parked on the land where Maggie and her fiancé are building their dream home. She was kind enough to do a Q&A with us, which you can read below!

Prolific tiny house builder Marsha, who has constructed eight or nine different tiny homes over the years, teamed up with her 19-year-old grandson Zachary to build this micro THOW. When life events pulled Zachary away from the project—a work promotion, his uncle’s hockey injury, and the arrival of Marsha’s first great-grandchild—she finished the build solo despite material shortages and price increases.
The compact design fits a twin bed and kitchenette with creative over-tongue cabinet storage. Features include a 10-inch stainless steel sink, space for a portable stovetop, USB-charged puck lights, fiberglass insulation throughout, and both interior and exterior-access storage compartments. This unit has sold, but the build demonstrates what’s achievable with determination and a modest budget.

Nate and Daysh are another example of folks who enjoyed tiny living for a season. The couple wanted to travel the U.S., so they started with a van build, decided they needed more space, and then upgraded to this beautiful shuttle bus. That said, they never planned on tiny living forever — so they are selling the bus now and building their first home.
Their bus featured a spacious queen-sized bed, huge pantry/closet, and a galley kitchen with an oven and top-loading fridge. The interior is light and bright with a really cool ceiling. Check it out below!

You don’t have to be a tiny person to live in a tiny home! Francis just got his custom-built THOW from Baluchon, specially-designed to accommodate his 6’3″ height. Even as tall as he is, Francis chose a loft bedroom set-up for his new full-time house.
He has a fun kitchen design that’s separated from the living space with a half-wall and window divider. In the living room, you’ll find a multipurpose couch that not only includes lots of storage but becomes a bed for two when needed. He named it “The World Tree” after Norse mythology. What do you like about this build?

Sonny reached out to us to show off the amazing DIY THOW he built, paying cash as he had it. He got derailed after about a year and a half of building because he had a heart attack — but after recovery, he pushed on. While Sonny says he’ll never really be “done” with the project, it’s looking great.
In his 160 sq. ft. space he fit a kitchen, bathroom, living room, and loft bedroom. He has an illuminated staircase, gas fireplace, and another storage loft over his deck. What do you think of this tiny home?
