Brie & Shawn wanted to enjoy being out in nature with their dogs and escape the pricey Seattle-area rent. Their first van was the cheapest they could find, and they soon upgraded to a Sprinter, and finally (for now) their 2019 Ford Transit.
Their story is a good reminder that your first van (or tiny house) might not be your last — and that’s ok! You just have to start somewhere. Now their brand and photography are enough to cover their bills and fund their travel lifestyle. Pretty awesome!
Enjoy the Tiny Home Tours video tour below.

While many people would be put off by the thought of living in a cottage near a Sleepy Hollow, NY cemetery, Lindsay and Jonas thought it was fate. The international couple (Swedish & American) were nearly homeless, trying to find a roof over their heads and a spot to put down roots.
When they moved it, they only had a few suitcases and no furniture. But after scouring flea markets and Facebook Marketplace every weekend, they furnished the lovely 500-ish square foot apartment with vintage gems that fit their cottage life style.
Jonas is an awesome artist, and he has paintings of their precious cottage for sale! They created an awesome Q&A/Tour video which you can watch below to learn all about them.

It took two years of weekend-warrior-ing, but at long last this military family has an amazing school bus conversion to call home! The husband is Active Duty Coast Guard, and as a mechanic was certain he could fix any mechanical issues that come up with the vehicle. But constructing the interior (where nothing is square), was a whole new adventure.
His wife and two young daughters can now easily travel with him wherever the Coast Guard calls, and the bus is perfectly designed to give the girls their own awesome spaces that will grow with them. The almost-circular kitchen is totally different than what we usually see, as well!
I love seeing people think outside the box. Enjoy the tour!

Just before the pandemic hit, Annie and her boyfriend split and she moved out and onto a new adventure. She chose a tiny van and built it out with a slat bed and hit the road! While she knew she enjoyed the nomadic life, she decided to upgrade to a more spacious truck camper with a bump out and a wet bath.
She completely remodeled her current rig, bringing it into 2021 style and making it fit her lifestyle. Annie’s constant companion is her dog, named Bear, and they are chasing good weather across the country. Her tech job is forever-remote now, so she does the 9-5 from “home” and then explores when she’s off duty. Awesome!

Here’s something different: A tent erected atop a large covered porch, complete with a twisty slide to the fire pit and picnic table below!
This is, of course, no normal tent. The canvas structure is held up by beautiful wooden beams, and there’s a queen-sized bed and kids’ cot bunks inside meaning no one has to sleep on the floor. It’s off-grid, with a cooler, water bubbler and solar lights, giving you an excellent glamping experience.
What do you think? We actually saw a family who lived in a tent like this here.
