This is the final complete build by Christine of Plum Construction, although she’s working on another project! LaLa’s Seaesta is a gorgeous black little house in Galveston, Texas just a couple blocks from the beach.

While the main living area of this house is awesome — with a full kitchen and bath, downstairs Master and upstairs loft bedroom — it’s the hidden under-the-house patio that really makes it special. You’ll find a hanging swing bed, a bar with swing seats, a projector screen, hammock and outdoor shower! Truly a special place to hang out.

Plus back upstairs in the little house, you’ll discover that the breakfast nook transforms into a full-sized bed with lovely window views by just sliding the ottoman over. How neat! Book your stay on Airbnb here, or contact the builder here.

Many people are skeptical of how long people really live tiny before throwing in the towel on cramped quarters. But the Reed Family’s story shows that sometimes tiny living can be a useful stepping stone to dreams come true.

The family were struggling financially trying to serve at a church in the LA area (Dad/Husband Nick is a pastor), and finally decided to fix up an RV, move 35 miles away from the church (long commute!) and live tiny to remove the financial burden of rising rents. During their RV life, they were able to save up enough money for a 1100 square foot fixer-upper just 10 minutes away from their church! They sold the RV and used that money as part of their down payment on the home.

The family of 6 (@reedsindeed) feels like their little home is a mansion in comparison! The four girls share one of the home’s two bedrooms with amazing built-in quad bunks, and the home features the coolest glass dining area. We got to interview mom, Rachel, so be sure to read her story at the end of the post!

This solar-powered Chilean Cottage sits on the slopes of the Calbuco Volcano and has a wood-fired hot tub where you can soak after a long day of hiking the surrounding area!

The architecture on this Chilean Cottage is wonderful: The sloping roofline and gazebo-style living room area look so unique. And while this is a vacation property, add a stove and larger fridge and this could easily work for full-time accommodations!

This is such a unique find! This giant barn has a 551 sq. ft. tiny house built into it, complete with a ground-floor bedroom and a bath, kitchen and living area.

But the whole thing sits on a lovely 14 acre lot of land, with a build site further away from the barn already ready with utilities and it’s own septic system. You could build another small home on the lot and use the existing space as an in-law or rental possibly (depending on local regulations). Or just enjoy the existing home and all that amazing land!

It’s for sale for $250,000 on Zillow. (Sold).
