Meet Sicily Kolbeck of Tiny Maison and her newly built tiny home on wheels.
She’s a young lady who finished building her own DIY micro home for $9,838.69.
I believe you’ll find her story inspiring and her tiny house, well, amazing.
And she still did it even with the most insurmountable of challenges.
Not long ago I told you about Dee Williams and her book tour for The Big Tiny.
Not that many of us got to go visit her while she was touring (lucky for you if you did!) but in case you missed her you can at least see some of what you missed right here (below). Below is a video of her speech in Boulder, Colorado where she met fans, signed book copies, and shared her story with others. Please enjoy and re-share. 🙂

I’m so excited to feature this video tour of Brian Levy’s 210 sq. ft. one-level modern tiny house on wheels at Boneyard Studios thanks to Derek Diedricksen of RelaxShacks.com.
Brian designed his own tiny home because there was no set of plans out there that really met his needs.
So he ended up with a design that perfectly suits his needs. It has a big kitchen, downstairs bed, and all the amenities of home. And he built it using SIPs (Structurally Insulated Panels).
Enjoy the full video tour below:
I’m so excited to get to share this ABC News clip on the growth of tiny houses in the last few years.
The story features people who have simplified into tiny homes and have seemingly created a happier, simpler way of living.
In case you missed it live on TV here’s your chance to enjoy the quick segment on the tiny housing boom that was aired on national TV recently.
I encourage you to enjoy a few recently aired national TV segments on the growth of tiny housing below:
In this post I wanted to show you Molecule Tiny Homes latest tiny house project which is a 9′ x 20′ home built on skids.
It was built for a client so it’s already sold for $45,000 USD. That might sound like a lot of money but it’s a ready made, ready to live in tiny home. A really nice one too. Inside there’s even a full size soaking bath tub and staircase to a 9’x10′ sleeping loft. And much more. You just have to look at it below.

I wanted to show you how tiny house communities like this Opportunity Village in Eugene, Oregon are being used to help the now formerly homeless.
This is just one of the reasons why I love tiny housing. They empower people! And this is how I’d like to see more of them being used. In a way that lifts people up.
Especially those who are in need. This village opened its doors in August and it has been a success.
Current residents are officially formerly homeless and they maintain the property and govern themselves. They’re proud of what they have.
I encourage you to enjoy the videos, interview and information on this community to empower homeless people using tiny housing below (plus how they’re creating yet another one!):
If you’ve been looking into tiny house sleeping lofts and wondering it wouldn’t be stuffy and hot up there you’re in the right place.
I like answering tiny house questions I receive from Facebook and Email here on the blog because then everyone (including you) can benefit from it.
Today’s question is from Michael and you can read it yourself below:
Alex, I love some of the tiny house designs in your newsletter, but one issue I never see mentioned is the terrible heat problem of sleeping in a loft with no air conditioning. Anyone who has gone up in an attic of a home in the summer knows you could not live in one of these small homes.
This is a great question and I’m glad he brought it up. (Thanks Mike!)
Well, I can introduce you to Dee Williams, who has been living in her tiny house (with a loft) for more than 7 years now.
But since she’s in Portland, OR heat is not too much of an issue for her.
So what if you live in somewhere like Florida? Or even New York in the summer. It gets hot.
Here’s how to stay cool in a tiny house loft during the heat (and I invite you to add your tips and tricks in the comments too):
I’ve been wanting to introduce you to ShelterWise‘s 96 sq. ft. Salsa Box Tiny House on wheels so here it is. You might like this mobile micro cabin if you want a cozy and compact micro home for simple living and occasional traveling because it’s an easy to tow tiny home.
The one you’re seeing here is the 12′ model but it’s also available in 16′ and 20’ lengths. And everything about it works pretty much just like an RV (30 amp hookup and water connections). What might surprise you is what’s inside (full bathroom, kitchen, and queen bed for sleeping).
