This is a lakeside tiny house in Orlando, Florida that you can actually book and stay for vacation in. It could be a pretty fun way to try out living tiny, don’t you think? Booking and staying in different tiny homes is one of the best ways to figure out what design would work best for you personally which is why I love stressing the importance of doing this before designing and building.
The Robin tiny house on wheels can accommodate up to four people with its full kitchen, spacious bathroom (for a tiny house on wheels), and spacious loft. Take a look, and let us know, do you think you could vacation here? How about live in a tiny house like this?

This is a purple monster shipping container tiny house by Kountry Containers somewhere near Austin, Texas. From the outside, it’s purple, hence its nickname, purple monster. And of course, you can tell it’s more than just a shipping container, right? Because it has beautiful windows and modern french doors that blend right in with the container.
When you go inside, you’ll be stepping directly into the living area which can also go into ‘bedroom mode’ thanks to the Murphy bed behind the couch. Moving on you’ll enter the kitchen and barstool area and finally the bathroom which is accessed via sliding barn door. What do you think?

This is a 36-foot tiny home you can build using these affordable tiny house plans by Michael Janzen of Tiny House Design. It’s the Carrack 836, which is a smaller version of the Carrack 1042, aka, the 420-square-foot ‘big tiny house’ you can build using these $39 downloadable plans.
This version is still pretty big, but it’s easier to tow, and legal to do so without a permit, kind of like a travel trailer. It’s 8′ 6″ wide, 36′ long, and 13’6″ tall. The design is flexible, so you can sort of make the space work best for you. I wonder what yours would look like…

This is the story of Gretchen’s stealth camper van conversion. She bought a van, moved in with her two Scotties (named Flanagan and Campbell), and then eventually had it insulated and converted by purchasing a kit from a company in Colorado that specializes in van conversions! So here’s how it all went down.
I (and my two scotties, Flanagan and Campbell) set off from Seattle to Colorado Springs in mid-October to have the kit installed at Wayfarer vans.
