Most of us dream of a tiny house for ourselves. I’ve always seen really little homes as a quick way to achieve more freedom. But that’s certainly not everybody. And that may or may not be you. Maybe you have a family and you’d like a cabin on wheels so you can go weekending in…
What if your tiny home did not look like every other tiny home? This 540 sq ft dome cabin by Lexa Dome Homes breaks the mold with its round shape, tall ceilings, and unusual wooden construction system. It is a very different take on small living, and that is exactly why dome homes keep catching…
This past week I was at a small camping festival in rural Minnesota. The event featured several speakers throughout the week, including myself. I did two workshops. One was on beer and one was on tiny houses, two of my favorite subjects. In my tiny house workshop I mentioned my problem with the way our…
In this post I’m going to show you a family tiny house that’s made out of 1920s recycled streetcars. And it gets even better than that. Not only is the home recycled but the family also has some cob structures in the back. A man cave and a she cave. The main home itself comprises…
If you’re like me you don’t just like tiny houses. I happen to like all sorts of unique shelters in all kinds of shapes and sizes, like shipping containers, yurts, cabins, motorhomes, and more.

In this post, I’m going to show you Jay Shafer’s component furniture plans which are made to design your own tiny house. I think his goal here is to make it easy for us to customize tiny houses for our own needs. At first, Jay would design little houses for himself figuring that he was…
I love all type of creative and innovative designs and when I ran into this awesome bus from New Zealand I just had to share it with you. First off, it has just about everything you need including a very spacious kitchen which I think they designed wonderfully. It has a modern design with a…
Here’s an off grid micro cabin I just had to show you. It’s too small for full-time living unless you’re going with the bare minimum. I think it’s a great way to try out the simple life while on vacation. Way more of an experience than a hotel if you ask me. So let me…
I like to always update you with tiny houses on sale that really catch my eye. This one, in particular, happens to be only 196 square feet and stands on a 24′ trailer. Asking price? $37,000. I think that’s a pretty good deal for what it is (see below). The seller of this little home is…
It seems to me like many of the people who are embracing the tiny lifestyle are those who are looking for a sense of freedom in their lives.
