When I selected the milk chocolate-colored siding for Tiny House Ontario it was not my first choice. I had hoped to go with a sort of grey/green/brown, just like the trunks of the trees that surround my tiny house. I hoped the house would blend right in on the background and disappear from the road, particularly when winter comes and the Carolinian forest around me is leafless. I was disappointed that this shade was only available for industrial grade and therefore more expensive siding. Too much money, and frankly, the work had to be done. I was already a year behind schedule and because of this last year Tiny House Ontario was left naked. This was because the local mill did not have time to cut the cedar siding I ordered. Consequently, the house stuck out like an ugly white Typar version of a bandaged sore thumb.

This year, early on, I called the mill but again they were too busy with other work, so I canceled and ordered my now third choice option, just to have her all finished.

Meet the Blue Ridge Mini Lux Retreat, a modern cabin in the Shenandoah Valley with mountain views — and a sauna! Outside you can sit by the fire pit, soak in the hot tub, or even plunge into the cool pool for a revitalizing chilly swim. When you’re done, you can sit in the Adirondack chairs on the deck and admire the stunning landscape.
Inside the cabin, you’ll find an open-concept living area and kitchen, with grand vaulted ceilings and exposed wood beams. The couch faces an electric fireplace and there’s a TV above it for movie night. The bedroom fits a King-sized bed, and the bathroom has a large walk-in, tiled shower. I could definitely live here full-time. How about you?

This is a simple and sweet tiny home built on a farm in Elk, Washington. The home’s front porch looks out over an evergreen forest, and gorgeous sunsets paint the sky. Board and batten siding gives the space a cozy cottage feel.
Inside the house are two lofts, accessible via ladders, which bookend the main living area. There’s a desk, a two-person table, and a couch facing the entertainment center. A small kitchen takes up one-half of the back wall, while a 3/4 bathroom sits right next to it. What do you think of this little vacation cabin?

Like so many others, Elizabeth joined vanlife because of the shutdowns of 2020. When she stumbled across vanlife on YouTube, she was hooked!
Through a series of events, she ended up purchasing a short bus and converting it into her own home on wheels. She has a remote job and is able to travel while living in her adorable bus named Wanda. The rig is perfect for her and her pets, and she loves life on the road. We had the privilege of interviewing her for this post, and you can read her story in her own words below.

This is a beautiful Slovenia Lake House that was just renovated in April of 2023! While the exterior and exposed beams indoors harken back to the cottage’s past life, the clean lines and amenities indoors make this a fantastic getaway for the modern couple or family. It sits right on Lake Bled and has private beach access, kayaks, and a dock with sunbathing chairs.
The 450-square-foot space includes an L-shaped couch that becomes a bed on the first floor, and there’s sleeping space for three more in the loft. A kitchen with a cooktop and mini-fridge sits in the open-concept main room, and a table for four fills up the middle of the space. And yes, there’s also a luxurious tiled bathroom.
