This is the Bird House tiny cottage in Asheville, North Carolina. It’s a tall and skinny foundation home in a great location.

This little home has an interesting floor plan because it offers three levels of living space! When you walk inside through the front door, you’re entering the second level which is your living area. This is also where the bathroom is placed (near the front door entrance). When you head downstairs using the black spiral staircase you’ll find the kitchen and dining area in the first level. From the second floor living room, when you head upstairs to the third floor, you’ll find your cozy little sleeping loft with dormers.

This Blue Bird Bus Conversion is a guest post by Becca Hanson

Hello Tiny House Folks, wonderful day to you from Redmond, Oregon! My husband and our dogs are almost complete with our Blue Bird School Bus Conversion.

We own a non-profit in Central Oregon called Full Circle Outreach Center, where we serve over 4000 lives each year with our warehouse of upcycled supplies and loads of love and resourcing. After 13 years of being established and finding huge success we felt our next move is for us to give up our home and build a tiny house, so we chose school bus living and are almost complete.

This is the Firebird Tiny House on Wheels built by Eric Bohne (of Alter Areas) using mostly recycled materials with the help of his family (Roxanne, Audrey, Bella, Bunny and Kasper).

It’s a steel-framed tiny house built on a 17’x8′ trailer bed which was purchased for $1,000. Previously, the trailer was part of a concession stand which caught fire and burned down (hence the name, The Firebird). Today it’s being used as the foundation for this awesome micro home that you can rent a stay in if you’re ever in the Portland, Oregon area so it makes a great addition to our tiny house vacations category.

Inside you’ll find a wonderful kitchen, dining area, cozy living area, comfy sleeping loft, and a full bathroom. Please enjoy, learn more, and re-share below. Thank you!

This air plants for tiny houses story is a guest post by Linda Branch

Air plants (Tillandsia) are perfect plants for tiny house living. They have wonderful health benefits by providing oxygen, cleaning the air and adding humidity. Another one of the great features of air plants is they don’t need any dirt. All of their nutrients are taken from the air. Air plants are self-propagating adding one or several “pups” after blooming. They come in lots of unique shapes and sizes and seem to have a personality all their own. They are fun plants and will make you happy to own them.

We have a greenhouse in the back yard that sits under a big oak tree. I have been growing and caring for air plants for over fourteen years. I design air plant arrangements and have two online shops. Please visit them and take a look at the innovative and colorful designs.
