You knew I’d end up here eventually. I am finally going to share some information about our tiny house bathroom.
Just like every other aspect of tiny spaces, bathroom layouts can vary wildly.
I wanted to share some of the decisions we made about our teeny bathroom so you might get an idea of what we’ve done.

I encourage you to see and learn how we designed and built the bathroom in our off grid tiny house:
Tiny House Living Expectations: Simplifying or Roughing It? Article by Laura LaVoie
This post on the realities of tiny house living over at Trying on Tiny was brought to my attention. In it, Audrey mentions the unexpected things they’ve had to face since moving into their tiny house; and not all of them have been pleasant.
Audrey and Tomas chose to downsize their lives and hired a builder to construct their tiny house. Because of their lifestyle, they weren’t able to be with the builders on a regular basis and it wasn’t until they had their little house delivered to their doorstep that they realized that there were some things they hadn’t considered.
Audrey mentions some of the challenges that have come up including mold issues surrounding a leaky drain and chores they took for granted in their old life.
She calls her expectations something of a “Tiny House Fairy Tale.” Audrey had a perception that downsizing their lives and moving into a cute little house would solve all their problems not create new ones. She writes, “It’s simple to flush a toilet; it’s not as simple to carry a urine bucket outside and ‘fertilize the garden’.”
