Corey & Shauna have been a couple since they were 15-year-olds in Wisconsin. They’d spent a lot of time in Nashville, when they got job offers to move them to Oregon. The thought of moving all their stuff stressed them out, and before they knew it Google had led them to #vanlife.

That said, they purchased the van just before COVID hit, leaving them suddenly jobless after selling most of their possessions and subletting their Nashville apartment. So they went back home, built out their van, and then hit the road despite the “gasoline” poured over their previous plans.

The result is a lovely Promaster conversion, and Shauna said van life has helped her face and conquer many fears she didn’t even realize were controlling her life. Watch the full tour with Tiny Home Tours below.

This is a Ford Transit van build with 4 seats and two beds by Rocky Mountain Campers.

It’s not everyday that you see a van conversion like this that’s ready for you and your crew. It has proper seating for four, including a legal place for a car-seat, and not one but two queen beds. What do you think?

This is an awesome little THOW with a Nordic feel that would make a great home for one or two people, or also a nice Airbnb in the backyard.

It has no loft, but rather uses the main area as both bedroom and living space. Then there’s a small kitchen with hook-ups for a fridge, and also a bathroom which includes a mini tub.

The whole thing feels sleek and minimalist, and it’s selling in Tennessee for $34,500.

When Johnny thought he was getting a new Navy position that would have him deploying more frequently, he chose to rent out his home and purchase a 1981 CHB Ed Monk Trawler to use as his home base wherever he went (rather than paying rent in a number of cities).

The Navy ended up cancelling that job altogether, but Johnny kept the boat and now he teaches other Navy sailors to drive boats, continues to rent out his home, and lives full-time on his trawler. We actually showed you his buddy’s trawler some months ago, and the two of them enjoy hanging out in the water around San Diego.

See it all in the video interview with Tiny Home Tours below!

Here’s the Dois, another awesome cabin design that’s great for it’s relatively compact footprint. It packs in a full 800 square feet of living space, though, by going up to a second floor (with a staircase and full ceiling height!).

Dois has two bedrooms on that second floor, and also a downstairs and upstairs bathroom for those middle-of-the-night bathroom runs.

You can purchase plans to build your own from Small House Catalog here.

We just got some new pictures of the N1 Model from Escape, and had to show you this amazing build again!

They created this sleek single-floor home as a one-of-a-kind project for their tiny house village, but because of the overwhelmingly positive response they received, they’re going to develop a smaller version to become one of their production models. Exciting news.

Enjoy the new photos (including a floor plan), and watch the video tour at the end of the post, too.

The Kyka cottage from Small House Catalog is a 500-square-foot open-concept home with a ground-floor bedroom, guest loft, full bathroom, and kitchen — all in a compact 16×32-foot footprint with 9-foot cathedral ceilings. Perfect for a couple, guest house, ADU, or Airbnb rental, it is designed to feel much larger than its square footage suggests.

While it can be difficult to find municipalities that allow for foundation homes under 400 square feet (our usual threshold for “tiny”), bumping up the square footage a bit can allow you to have a littler home on land.

The “Sno” plans from Small House Catalog looks like a perfect cabin home for a small family. At 600 sq. ft., the home includes a downstairs bedroom for parents, and a split loft where kids could have free reign.

The exterior has a lovely Scandinavian vibe, while inside it feels sleek and modern. Check out the renderings of the home below, and purchase your own plans here.

Ok I know it doesn’t look like much right now, but this vintage 1957 Spartan Imperial Mansion has so much potential! And at only $20,000, you have a decent amount of wiggle room to make it really shine once again.

The trailer is 43ft x 10ft., making it especially spacious, and it features the original wood paneling. Right now it has a composting toilet, but you can always put the original RV toilet back in.

There’s plenty of room and it’s all one floor, meaning no loft-climbing once the rehab is done! It’s for sale on Tiny House Marketplace in Bellingham, Washington.
