This post is all about multipurpose furniture that will make you fall in love with tiny spaces!
Expand Furniture sells all kinds of amazing pieces that bend, stretch, collapse and expand to meet multiple needs. I included multiple videos of the pieces “in action” as well as some pictures of the furniture just hanging out. You’ll find a couch/coffee table/Murphy bed, a desk that transforms into dining table, the most compact office you’ve ever seen and more.

This is the Thunderbus Recording Studio — a “Solar & Wind Powered Recording Studio” built inside of a 1969 Oldtimer Nightliner bus!
Sure it’s not exactly a “tiny house,” but I loved the eco-friendly aspects — and it certainly looks like you could sleep in there. Plus, I love the idea of tiny businesses on wheels, and who doesn’t enjoy a good bus conversion?
See more about the studio on their Facebook page!

We got a tip last week that Cook County, Minnesota is tiny house friendly, but I wanted to double-check before spreading a rumor.
I contacted Bill Lane, the Planning and Zoning Administrator for Cook County, and he straightened out the details and specifics for those of you interested in going tiny in Minnesota. It’s certainly not a free-for-all, but they are more receptive than many counties!
In short: You’ll need to build on a foundation (or remove the wheels) and comply with zoning and building regulations (and pay taxes!), but it can be done.
Take a look at some pictures of Grand Marais, named one of the coolest US small towns by CNN, and then read what Bill told us below!

This ecological shelter is sustainable and totally independent with respect for surrounding nature, and that is what makes our ARK so unique. Escape the city life and choose for luxurious camping.

Although I love a good traditional tiny house, I’m also fascinated by round homes and curved roofs. Cecil just sent us a link to her DIY Instructional Book that will teach you how to build a 12 x 8 ft. Garden Pod with a rounded roof for less than $1,000.
It comes in both PDF E-Book ($19) and printed book form ($29).
The interior of the house is simple (this doesn’t go into detail, for example, about plumbing or electricity), but it makes a great shell to then outfit however you please. Or, use it for a little guest bedroom or backyard office.
Buy it here!
