I’m so excited to get to share this ABC News clip on the growth of tiny houses in the last few years.
The story features people who have simplified into tiny homes and have seemingly created a happier, simpler way of living.
In case you missed it live on TV here’s your chance to enjoy the quick segment on the tiny housing boom that was aired on national TV recently.

In this post I wanted to show you Molecule Tiny Homes latest tiny house project which is a 9′ x 20′ home built on skids.
It was built for a client so it’s already sold for $45,000 USD. That might sound like a lot of money but it’s a ready made, ready to live in tiny home. A really nice one too. Inside there’s even a full size soaking bath tub and staircase to a 9’x10′ sleeping loft. And much more. You just have to look at it below.

I wanted to show you how tiny house communities like this Opportunity Village in Eugene, Oregon are being used to help the now formerly homeless.
This is just one of the reasons why I love tiny housing. They empower people! And this is how I’d like to see more of them being used. In a way that lifts people up.
Especially those who are in need. This village opened its doors in August and it has been a success.
Current residents are officially formerly homeless and they maintain the property and govern themselves. They’re proud of what they have.
Tiny Housing to End and Empower Homeless

If you’ve been looking into tiny house sleeping lofts and wondering it wouldn’t be stuffy and hot up there you’re in the right place.
I like answering tiny house questions I receive from Facebook and Email here on the blog because then everyone (including you) can benefit from it.
Today’s question is from Michael and you can read it yourself below:
Alex, I love some of the tiny house designs in your newsletter, but one issue I never see mentioned is the terrible heat problem of sleeping in a loft with no air conditioning. Anyone who has gone up in an attic of a home in the summer knows you could not live in one of these small homes.
This is a great question and I’m glad he brought it up. (Thanks Mike!)
Isn’t It Too Stuffy & Hot in Tiny House Sleeping Lofts?
Well, I can introduce you to Dee Williams, who has been living in her tiny house (with a loft) for more than 7 years now.
But since she’s in Portland, OR heat is not too much of an issue for her.
So what if you live in somewhere like Florida? Or even New York in the summer. It gets hot.
Here’s how to stay cool in a tiny house loft during the heat (and I invite you to add your tips and tricks in the comments too):

I’ve been wanting to introduce you to ShelterWise‘s 96 sq. ft. Salsa Box Tiny House on wheels so here it is. You might like this mobile micro cabin if you want a cozy and compact micro home for simple living and occasional traveling because it’s an easy to tow tiny home.
The one you’re seeing here is the 12′ model but it’s also available in 16′ and 20’ lengths. And everything about it works pretty much just like an RV (30 amp hookup and water connections). What might surprise you is what’s inside (full bathroom, kitchen, and queen bed for sleeping).

In this post I’m showing you a 129 sq. ft. micro apartment in Paris with kitchen, bed and bath.
And how this woman re-created the space to meet her needs in this tiny space (granted she is an architect).
But when you go inside into the living room the bed rolls right out of wall and if you roll it out only half way you can use it as a couch.
After you enjoy the photo tour, video tour, interview, and discussion below I’d like to ask you to join our discussion in the comments (would you rather live in tiny house in your favorite rural setting or a micro apartment in your favorite city?)
How This Woman Went Tiny in a Paris Micro Apartment
All of the pillows and everything you need to make the bed are stored in wall cabinets right by the roll out bed.
So essentially your living room transforms into your bedroom whenever you’d like. But it gets even more interesting…

I just ran into these tiny house folks in Sydney, Australia I thought you might want to know about.
They started planning their project in January of 2013 and began building in June 2013 (almost a year ago as I write this). And their tiny house is only costing them about $15,000 which they can own outright and take wherever they’d like.

I ran into this news segment on the Tiny House Movement by Global News 16×9 in Canada.
The episode takes you on an adventure into a few people’s lives who live very tiny lives.
And the question is, for these people, do small spaces mean more freedom?
But it’s not just that. These micro homes are also much better for the environment.
What do you small spaces- including tiny homes- mean to you?

If you’re like me you also love watching tiny house videos.
Whether they are tours of space saving small homes…
Or interviews with experts on simple living.
That’s why I decided to gather and share three of my favorite “classic” videos on the tiny house movement starting with…
