You might remember when these brothers and their dad built a truck camper for just $1,000! Well, they’re back at it, but this time they’ve built an entire off-grid cabin by a creek in the woods.

The cabin has a whole solar set-up, a clever pump that draws water from the creek, and a spacious loft bedroom with a full-sized bed. They even added a porch swing to the covered deck to finish off the space. Are you inspired?

Builder’s Blueprint is an awesome YouTube channel where this man DIYs all kinds of amazing things, including these mini campers for two homeless people in their area. But last month, he tackled something much bigger—a backyard gym tiny house!

The original plan was to use the space as a short-term rental, but since the city refused them, they pivoted and created a home gym complete with a massive Major Fitness Gym set-up. You can watch the entire process, from cement blocks to finishing touches, in the video below!

Caitlin left a large traditional home after a divorce and moved into a custom-built van conversion that met all her needs. She credits the transition with improving her mental health, finding freedom in downsizing and minimizing her belongings.

Despite going tiny, she didn’t sacrifice comfort. Her van, named “Vanastasia,” features a wet bathroom with an Airhead composting toilet, quartz countertops, and even a dishwasher—which she appreciates because it uses minimal water. The build was completed by Boujie Builds from Fayetteville, North Carolina.

While Boho Vans rents vans to travelers wanting to try out van life, they also do custom conversions for folks who are sold on the lifestyle! This van, built for their clients Lori and Jill, has a beautiful all-wood interior in Boho Vans’ signature style and some significant upgrades.

The van has a hidden toilet, an outdoor shower, and a small dinette with under-bench storage. A swivel passenger seat provides additional seating, and the flip-up countertop maximizes counter space. Finally, they chose a fixed bed in the back of the rig with open storage in the garage underneath. What do you think of this van design?

This is a gorgeous A-frame cabin that sits on a campground in France. While many A-frames feel very “cabin-y,” this one has a modern twist with triangular cut-outs and minimalist decor.

The most unique feature of this cabin is the netted balcony, where you can take a nap suspended above the porch by nothing but a (very sturdy) net. The interior has all the standard amenities — a couch, small kitchen, bathroom, and loft bedroom. What do you like most about it?
