By Laura LaVoie We talk to a lot of people about simple living and building our tiny house. We encourage those people who are interested but try to emphasize that no one should romanticize living off the grid in the woods. We can imagine people had it easier back in the day when they didn’t…
I’ve always known about this tiny dome home that’s practically in my parent’s backyard in a very unlikely place.. Miami, Florida. It turns out that it was built here before any of this area was developed which is the West area of Miami nearest to the Everglades. Back when this area was considered the woods,…

This tiny & light fiberglass camper doubles as a boat. It’s a mashup of a teardrop trailer, fiberglass camper, and a paddle boat. Since it’s lightweight, it can be towed by just about any vehicle including 4 cylinder cars. This would make for a perfect adventure toy that just about anyone can haul. At just…
By Laura M. LaVoie Fellow tiny house blogger Andrew Odom declared this week Tiny House Appreciation week. (Conveniently it falls during one of my other favorite appreciation weeks: Asheville Beer Week – but that is a little off topic.) I admire how Andrew has taken the tiny house movement by the horns.
