Tess didn’t actually know #vanlife was a thing when life pushed her into it, but her time learning meditation and mindfullness in Thailand prepared her for the massive life-shift. She went from having a large master bedroom and walk-in closet to paring down her things and enjoying her compact van closet.
Her build includes a brilliant fold-down corner countertop, hidden toilet, and a unique shower set-up that includes an in-the-door hot water heater. Enjoy her tour below.

Musician Mary relocated from the Bay Area to a tiny house community in Arizona where she invested and built a 500-square-foot bungalow designed around her grand piano. The instrument, which she had paid to move from apartment to apartment for years, became the centerpiece of the home’s layout. Since the community offers communal cooking and dining spaces, Mary chose a minimal kitchen setup, prioritizing music and living areas instead.

Kelly and Tamarr served in the Air Force and Marine Corps, but when it was time to retire, they decided to do something different and live in an RV while homeschooling their son. It gives them the freedom to travel the continent (they were in Baja during this video tour) and grow closer as a family.
This military family chose a 2021 Winnebago Navion for their home on wheels. It has off-grid capabilities making it great for boondocking, and they got it brand new and under warranty (which proved to be a good move — watch the video!).

Daniel was looking for a vehicle to take with him on outdoor travels during the weekends — something he could toss muddy gear into and not care about. A late-night eBay bid made him the owner of this 2005 Econoline bus — and after a cross-country trip to retrieve it, he suddenly found himself caring a lot more about his build-out!
He used many reclaimed materials to create a fully functional home on wheels, including a soon-to-be-completed bathroom, a Murphy bed, and an ample kitchen/counter space. Enjoy the video tour below!

As always, treehouses—and homes with unusual shapes—hold a special place in my heart. This TreehouseTopia Airbnb is the best of both worlds, suspending a two-story Yurt-like structure amid the trees of Gatlinburg, Tennessee.
The levels aren’t divided by typical flooring, however. Instead, a taught cargo net acts as an extra lounge space around the bed! There’s also a kitchenette and wrap-around deck with a charcoal grill.

Named the “Gunyah” in honor of the aboriginal word for “house/shelter,” this tiny house is simpler and more streamlined than Hauslein‘s previous builds. They offer this model in two layouts — one with a couch, and another with a ground-floor bed.
There’s so much high-quality workmanship going on inside! All the custom wood elements bring lots of character and contrast nicely with the cream walls. There’s an afixed ladder than goes up to the loft bedroom (with skylight) and an awesome breakfast bar with a flip-out window for enjoying nature.

This Baluchon build makes use of some of the company’s best design features, like their mesh catwalk that allows for sunlight to filter through the house and access between the lofts! Everything looks stunning as usual from Baluchon, and there are special hooks on the exterior for hanging plants.
The living room has a fold-down couch and a hidden projector screen for movie nights. The oak tables fold up or down depending on what’s needed, and there’s a full kitchen perfect for fixing homemade meals. What a beautiful spot.

Vera had gone through a lot before she sold her home and started building her tiny house — 3 bouts of cancer and two battles with Lyme’s Disease. Resilient as ever, she spent two years sourcing and building a sustainable tiny house and has lived in it for nearly a decade now.
Vera took the time to call all her suppliers and check on how they treated their employees and what their recycling systems looked like. Much of her interior was second-hand or even found on the side of the road. The house is solar-powered and you’ll love all the unique details FLORB shows off during the video tour below.
