When I think of tiny houses I also think of small houses like this beautiful and open summer house I’m showing you here.
I’ll always show you both tiny and small homes so that you can find what’s truly best for you long-term (whether it’s tiny, small, or somewhere in between).
This summer house is a great example of what you can do with a slightly larger amount of space. It’s a backyard retreat used for vacation rentals by the homeowners.

If you’re into tiny house living too when vacationing you might consider staying in a micro cabin like this garden pod instead of in a motel.
Many times you can also save money doing this, as in this case. This beautiful tiny backyard cabin in Winchester is a fantastic getaway if you’re in the area.
And inside you’ll find everything you’ll need (giving you a taste of the tiny house lifestyle). There’s a kitchenette, bathroom with shower and toilet, sofa bed that converts into a bed, and a television for entertainment.

I was contacted by the folks over at Custom Made about a tiny house movement infographic that they created for us which shares how less is more. And how in many ways we’re going back to square one with tiny homes.
It’s obvious that the word on simple living is growing and I believe it’s because it just makes sense. People from all sorts of backgrounds are editing their lives to make it easier for themselves to live simpler, happier lives.
The best part is that there are so many benefits you can experience when simplifying. Like more money, less waste, a healthier environment, better relationships, and an overall happier and more meaningful life.
I think this infographic represents just about all of that. It also shows us some disturbing facts about where we’ve been heading as a society. And I think you’ll agree that what we’ve been doing as a collective society doesn’t make much sense at all. But we’re changing that now, aren’t we? There is hope.

It’s encouraging to see that the small town of Spur, Texas (population 1,088) has announced that they are welcoming tiny houses as supposedly declared by their mayor, Manuel Herrera.
But let’s clear this up right here right now. We are getting somewhere. But you might be a little disappointed to learn the truth here as explored by Andrew Odom of Tiny r(E)volution below. Are tiny houses on trailers easily permitted? We’re not sure.
But it is very clear that creatively simple and safe tiny homes on foundations are welcome with open arms. We’re just not sure about the ones on wheels. Although I personally don’t see why not. But have a read for yourself below. Either way, I’m convinced this is good news for the tiny house movement. What do you think?

This luxurious tiny cabin is called the Shepherds Rest and is being used as a vacation rental alongside the Shepherds Delight which I’ve shown you here before.
It sits alongside a few other cabins in the woods with view of a lake nearby. It’s definitely a very peaceful setting and I wouldn’t mind living the simple life in this little cabin, how about you?
This luxurious tiny home has a great one level floor plan so there’s no upstairs sleeping lofts or anything like that. And it boasts a wonderful kitchen and outdoor space to hang out in.

If you’ve ever thought of a chemical free tiny house for yourself or for someone you know, I think you’ll really like this post.
Corinne, the tiny home owner, experiences bad reactions to chemicals. So she built a little home that’s chemical-free with carefully chosen materials. Instead of creating her own plans, she simply went with the 8×20 Leaf House plans which incorporates a modern design and is specifically engineered for cold climates in the north.

Graham Hill, founder of Tree Hugger and now founder of Life Edited is selling his 420 sq. ft. transforming NYC micro apartment called the LE1. You might remember my original post on it way back. (UPDATE: SOLD)
If you haven’t seen this apartment in action before, I think you’re in for a real treat. If you’re interested in purchasing it, beware because it’s not cheap (we’re talking about NYC here).
Either way I mostly wanted to show it off to you so you can see what’s really possible in small space when you have money to spare and the creative willingness to step outside of the box.

In this post I’m excited to show you the Shepherds Delight country style tiny cabin.
It’s an amazing space that’s used for vacations but you can see how amazing it would be to live simply in full time.
It’s got that ‘shabby chic’ style (I’d rather call it country) with a touch of luxuriousness to it too.
