I absolutely love it when people use their creativity when designing and building their tiny houses. And this Tiny Midwest house is definitely one of those cases as you’ll notice once you take a look at the interior.
From the decorations to the materials used and the choices in appliances and hardware. You can just tell that a lot of thought was put into every part of the home. Unfortunately, this tiny home is no longer for rent, but you can still see it below if you want to.

The siding is cedar which was locally milled in Nebraska and the trailer was purchased used so Jamison had to do lots of work to it.

This B2B Cabin which stands for “back to basics” is inspired by the tiny cabin in Lloyd Kahn’s Tiny Homes Simple Shelter book on page 32.
You would want to have it elevated from the ground with a small front deck where you can store your kayak or whatever underneath.
On one of the sides you can build an overhang to store wood and your other outdoor goodies like chairs, buckets, containers, etc.
It’s a perfect getaway cabin that can be built for super cheap and it would be easy to power using solar and propane so you don’t have to hook up to the grid.
The table can be designed to flip down when not in use and the chairs can be put away or used outside on the deck.

Guest Post by Andrew Odom
If you notice the photos do not show a bathroom built in this tiny house. The Odom’s tiny house is part of a larger idea that encompasses the addition of an ANNEX. The ANNEX will flow right from the initial tiny house trailer. There the permanent bathroom will be situated between two small bedrooms.
If you want to see the current bathroom facilities please visit facebook.com/tinyrev and refer to the photo album “The Shower Shack.” To find out more about the ANNEX search for the word ANNEX on www.tinyrevolution.us.
So much time is spent thinking about the exterior build of tiny houses – the trailer, the framework, the weight, the roof, etc – that the interior is often overlooked. But is that wise? Isn’t the interior what transforms an otherwise stark and impersonal trailer or foundation into a home? It is if you ask Stacey Pridgen of Rooms and Spaces and tiny places.
“The interior is what turns a trailer into a home. It is where a person lays their head at night and you want that person to feel like they are in a palace and not an outhouse,” says Pridgen.

A contractor, creator, builder, craftsman, artist, and innovator for over 25 years Pridgen has been putting hammer to nail since he was just 16 years old. “I started when I was 16 years old or so. I got a job with a construction outfit as a framing assistant. I spent a lot of time helping, lugging material, and trying to learn the trade.”

In this post I’m going to show you how to pick the right siding for your tiny house because when most people think about tiny houses they focus almost entirely on the interior finish of the house.
It’s easy to think of all the ways you would decorate your tiny house. I had many plans for the inside of our home before we even put up the first wall. In spite of that, I believe that the exterior of your tiny home is as important as what you put indoors. Now I’m really glad we put so much thought into how our siding would look. I’ll explain why below..

Ever wonder if there are any tiny houses in Canada?
If so good news because in this post I’m introducing you to a builder in the Nelson area.
Builder of Tiny Houses in Canada
I had a chance to speak with one of the owners, Seth, over the phone and he seems like a great guy.
I also received some photos from his business partner, Tom, to share with you. Hope you enjoy!
This particular model is called the “V” and it stands for versatile because the home is super compact and efficient.

This skinny small house in LA is brought to you by Kirsten Dirksen of Faircompanies.
This architect (Anonymous Architects) in LA wanted an affordable house so he found and purchased the smallest one he could find which was just 350-square-feet.

The only problem was that he wanted to be able to live and work from it so he was going to have to come up with some changes.

From 350 Sq. Ft. to 960 Sq. Ft.
He did this by requesting special planning to double the height of the structure. These numbers do include a garage though so it is quite a small home as you’ll see.

I ran into this Airstream “tiny house” on Airbnb and just had to share it with you.
It has a beautiful deck, a hot tub, and an outdoor shower.

This is a 14′ by 20′ Kanga Tiny House int he city! It’s great because since it’s built on a foundation, the design is not subject to road limitations. For most people, something like this would be a better long-term solution versus a tiny house on wheels, don’t you think?
Tiny homes like this are a great option and they can still be very versatile. In many neighborhoods, you might already be allowed to build something like this in your backyard. You may be able to qualify for it as a guest house, pool house, accessory dwelling unit, in-law suite, etc.

Now here’s a tiny cabin with a twist that I wanted to show you. It’s best built on stilts so you can make the best of use of the fold out porch area.
We’ve already seen ideas like this being used on tiny houses on wheels. Joe at Tennessee Tiny Homes is doing it along with the folks over at Molecule Tiny Homes, for example.
