I always appreciate a garage to studio conversion because they’re usually small and make great use of space.
This is just that… A studio that used to be a garage which was renovated into a tiny guest house.
It has floor heating, cathedral ceilings, a beautiful bathroom and a full sized kitchen ready for you to cook in.
And it’s in Boulder, Colorado! Another reason I really like garage conversions is because they make better use out of a structure that already existed. And this one- as you’ll see below- has been very nicely converted into a studio that I’d enjoy living in.

This is a Reader Submitted Guest Post – Share Your Small House Story Too
Hi Alex,
My partner and I bought this small house as a second home in early 2012, as a retreat from our lives in the “biggish” city of Durham, NC.
The house, located in Blowing Rock, NC (just 3 hours from our primary home) was built as part of a “future” 21 unit vacation rental community.

This off grid modern solar house in California isn’t tiny or even that small… But since it’s 100% off the grid I thought it was a smart enough design to include here.
At 1200 sq. ft. it would make a great home for a family or person who spends lots of time at home. It’s called the IT HOUSE and is made of glass and metal in the middle of the beautiful desert landscape in Pioneertown, California. The design system used to build this house was created by Taalman Koch.

You might have already learned about the Tiny House Hotel in Laura’s recent post.
I’ve even featured a few of their tiny houses recently including the Miter Box.
The best part is that you (and anyone else) can stay in these awesome little homes.
Almost two years ago I blogged about giant sewage tubes being turned into a tiny house hotel in Mexico.
Today, so far, we’ve got three stick built tiny houses on trailers in Portland, Oregon as the country’s first official “Tiny House Hotel.”
And I’ll bet there’s more in the works. But anyways, let me introduce you to the owners and creators of this magnificent place.

I smiled from ear to ear when I read these words from the messages area of our Tiny House Talk Facebook Page, “I haz a tiny cabin in the woods! I’m on the Olympic Peninsula.”
Yes! I love when I get to hear of people achieving their goals, especially when they finish building a tiny cabin in the woods. So Bogdan was nice enough to let me share some photos of the tiny cabin with us so you can enjoy them below… So, when are you going to start building your tiny cabin in the woods?

I’ve always wanted to stay in a tiny house, cabin, or a cottage instead of a motel or hotel while traveling.
And if you’ve ever considered living in a smaller space this is such a great way to experience it.

One of our readers, Mark built his own off the grid small cabin.
Recently he had to move and has been missing his 16’x20′ cabin. Tomorrow I’m going to show you Mark’s micro house that he uses as a camper with his Toyota Tacoma truck.

This is a little story about a tall tiny house with a covered porch and a tall loft. Since it’s not built on a trailer with wheels, you’re allowed to build taller since you never have to worry about driving under a bridge.
This is nice because you can actually stand up when you’re up in the sleeping loft so you don’t feel so cramped as many do in lofts where the tiny homes are built on wheels and have road restrictions. So what do you think? Are you going to build your tiny like this or on wheels?

I’m not sure about you but I’ve always had this attraction to A-frame houses. I’m not sure if that’s because my name starts with an A (Alex) but I think it’s also because they’re so rare to see and unique in comparison to most other homes.
As a kid, I always was liked seeing an old school Dairy Queen or a church that was built in an A-frame design. But even more, a random A-frame house in a neighborhood. So today I thought I’d share my top 6 A-frame tiny houses. As I was searching through the web to discover these I got to thinking, hey, why not an 8 by 20 A-frame tiny house on a trailer?
Then I immediately thought of the Fortune Cookie tiny house from Zyl Vardos which is close to an A-frame design. Their design makes a lot of sense too because the rounded shape gives you the most amount of space inside. I guess it’s just a lot harder to design/build it that way, but it would be worth it, right?
