I love this type of tiny house because it has a bit of that modern touch that I enjoy so I just had to share it with you. Well, it isn’t exactly a tiny house, it’s actually a backyard study and office. The owners, Celestino Piralla and Cornelia Stumpf, wanted more space in their home…
After running into this teardrop camper by Teddybear Teardrops I just couldn’t help to share it with you. I’m a big fan of teardrops because they’re easy and cheap to build. And they’re also easy and cheap to tow. So even if you’re not doing well financially, chances are you can pull one of these…
This is the incredible story of a father and his son who set the audacious goal of building a tiny pioneer-style log cabin, in Alaska, in only 15 days. Is it even possible to do that? Well, I suppose we will find out, but this old boy and his son sure think they can, and…
Guest Post by Barry Howard Studio Three things have always been part of my life: art, travel and designing and building small living spaces that move. I have converted school busses into two-story homes that featured wood cookstoves, lofts and stained glass windows. I built a home in vans, VW busses, mini-vans, a VW bug,…
Along with our solar power system, we have set up a relatively primitive water system in our tiny house. I have mentioned our Berkey water filter before, but that is only one step in our water process. It starts at a spring about 150 vertical feet down the mountain. Right now we collect water from…
One of our readers and somebody who I got to meet at the Tiny House Fair in Vermont last month just sent me photos of her “just married” tiny house which is so awesome. Please don’t miss other exciting tiny homes – join our FREE Tiny House Newsletter! While I was there I also got…
So throughout this tour of my tiny house I have described how we live “off the grid” but I haven’t really described exactly how we do that. So, for the penultimate installment of the series, I present to you what it really means for us to live off the grid. There are two main “systems”…
Sometimes tiny homes are found in unexpected places. It’s sad that in most of these places you’re no longer allowed to build so small. Even so it’s encouraging to see these “grandfathered-in” small spaces because to me it just means that there’s still hope for codes to change so that we can allow these sorts…
My friend Lina from This Is the Little Life just sent me an email about the tiny house tour they just had in Portland, OR. It attracted more than 100 people! It was in conjunction with the Pedalpalooza which is becoming quite a big deal in Portland. For weeks there are different themes to celebrate…
Lots of people seem to think that tiny houses are just for young people but they’re not the only ones. That’s not to say that all tiny homes are practical for someone who’s, let’s say, planning on going into their 70s, 80s, 90s, and 100s in one. If you’re looking to go into retirement chances…
