I’ve been wanting to create clothing (especially tee shirts) dedicated to simple living and tiny housing for a while now. And it isn’t until right now that Tiny House Talk’s first ever t-shirt has been offered. That’s right- my first t-shirt design is available right now. I partnered with a great company that specializes in t-shirts. And this ‘Simple.…
This 185 sq. ft. off-grid solar tiny house design was submitted as part of LaMar’s off grid tiny house design contest where you can win up to $500 if you submit a design before 6/30/14. Jonathan Marcoux’s squared eco house is 12’3″ x 12’3″. It has a water harvesting system, solar heating, solar panels, aquaponics farming system, and more.…
Had to show you this amazing micro home called Tiny House Japan. It’s obviously a Japanese inspired and designed little shelter on wheels. This mobile micro cabin was designed and built by Tagami Haruhiko and is meant for use as a tiny camping trailer able to be towed by a small vehicle. Another cool feature which you’ll…
I thought you might also like this hand-built rustic modern tiny house in Portland, Oregon. It’s a backyard tiny home that was hand built by the homeowners (and their friends) on the property. Best of all- they used mostly reclaimed and recycled materials to build and furnish the cabin. This not only keeps construction costs low, but…
I’m excited to show you this tiny lighthouse cabin called the Yolo County Cabin. It was designed by Butler Armsden Architects and is located on a 400 acre farm in California. The cabin is inspired by local water towers but I thought calling a lighthouse cabin was appropriate too. Either way when you go upstairs…
Some of you might remember Tiny: A Story About Living Small. It’s a tiny house documentary created years ago by Christopher Smith and Merete Mueller. I posted on it a while back (and even more later- see below) and some of you even helped raise money for them on their Kickstarter fundraiser. Their Story Featured on MSN Tiny:…
In this video based post you’re going to learn how to design tiny houses in SketchUp with LaMar Alexander of Simple Solar Homesteading. So hopefully if you’re here you’ve already downloaded SketchUp and you’re ready to follow along. If not, you can do so right now. Then come back here to watch the video so you…
I just found out about this new tiny housing documentary called Microtopia thanks to Derek Markham at Treehugger and wanted to tell you about. It’s a documentary with a different style than we’re used to in the tiny house world in my opinion but it focuses on the fact that most of us live in homes that are…
Even though this isn’t a tiny house I still thought you’d enjoy this 840 sq. ft. modern and rustic cabin in the redwoods. And the best part is that this particular one was designed and built in a way that makes it feel modern and rustic at the same time. But not only that… The…
I had to let you know as soon as I found out that the Odom family tiny house for sale over at Tiny r(E)volution. (SOLD) If you’re not familiar with their tiny home I featured it a while back on this post after they had recently finished it. But if you’ve been looking for the…
