Just ran into this amazing video of SunRay Kelley and his amazing tiny homes that he’s built over the years.
He’s a natural builder who inspires people to reconnect with nature through his artistic architecture. If you’ve never heard of him before, you’re in for a treat. Filmed and edited by Gary Tyler Mcleod and Austin Will this is a 6 minute video I know you’ll love watching. And more than likely, you’ll be inspired afterwards. Please enjoy and re-share.

In this post I’m introducing you to Jay Austin and his ‘Matchbox’ tiny home on wheels in Washington, D.C.’s Boneyard Studios.
According to the video, more than 1000 people decide to move into the area every single month therefore driving the cost of housing up and increasing construction in the area.
And even though they’re building as fast as they can, they still can’t keep up with the demand for housing in the area. So where do tiny houses stand?
Enjoy the rest of the story (in video) below:
I had to share this story with you on a couple who has been living simply in a tiny house for the last six months and counting.
Christopher Derek and Betty Ybarra have been living in this micro cabin since December 2013. And it’s all of just 98 sq. ft.
The formerly homeless couple now have a solid roof over their heads. They park on the street and are required to move every two days to be compliant with city laws.
This tiny cabin is on the Pt. Reyes peninsula along the Northern California coast.
It’s a 260-square-foot building designed to support a large group of children for a yearly family summer camp.
The cottage is on a dairy farm and has a fun and yet traditional vibe that expresses the rural setting of the land.
Most of the materials used are non-corrosive and resistant to wear like the galvanized sheet metal on the roof, the batt siding and painted plywood.

This is Rich the Cabin Man’s extra-long tiny house on wheels! Now here’s a tiny house on wheels that more folks might be open to.
To me, it’s like a breed between a Park Model and a Tiny House. Most park models are wider than 8’6″ so you need a special permit to tow it. But not this one. Rich Daniels built it at just the right width so you can still tow it yourself.

I like to always update you with tiny houses on sale that really catch my eye. This one, in particular, happens to be only 196 square feet and stands on a 24′ trailer.
Asking price? $37,000. I think that’s a pretty good deal for what it is (see below). The seller of this little home is actually a furniture designer by trade and built the entire house himself with the help of his wife and family. He states that the idea behind his design was to keep it as open/spacious as possible but at the same time creating separate feeling spaces. What do you think?

To me, it’s not common to get to see so many different styles of tiny houses in one place.
In this case, we’ve got a Spanish style home, a little cottage, an Asian-inspired tiny house and a really small Spanish style adobe cottage.
And they’re all tiny or at least “small” in my opinion. But enough talking, let me have you look for yourself below.

Two weeks ago, I wrote about the LumenHaus, a small, energy-efficient tiny house prototype by Virginia Tech. With its very high-tech features, it’s a neat example, but its $450-650,000 price tag puts it out of the reach of most of us.
But another university group has been focusing on designing small houses with a much, much lower price tag. That’s the Rural Studio at Auburn University.
The Rural Studio is a long-running design-build program that does most of its work in rural Hale County, Alabama. The Rural Studio’s 20K House project has produced a series of houses, twelve so far, so named because they’re designed to be built for $20,000. While some have met this budget and others haven’t, they are all interesting examples of simple but well-designed dwellings.

Take, for example, the Roundwood House. Its designers wanted to explore building applications for “thinnings”, small-diameter timbers that are removed to encourage forest health but are too small to be milled into conventional lumber.
