This couple is living legally in their off-grid tiny house and homestead! They live in a 24 ft. THOW in Arizona and describe themselves as “digital entrepreneur nomads” promoting “a minimalistic debt free lifestyle.”

You can see a few screenshots of their crisp, modern tiny house below, and then watch a number of their videos from their YouTube channel, Life inside a Box. The couple started their “vlogs” when they first got the idea to build the house, and now they have hundreds of videos documenting the entire process, including DIY videos for those who want to follow their lead.

I love that they go into detail about the different off-grid aspects of their life, as well as dedicate time to telling us what about their tiny house they’d change, how much the house cost and how they are living legally! You might lose a few hours watching all their videos — don’t say I didn’t warn you!

It just doesn’t get cuter than this!

After some students built the Periwinkle shell, Patti purchased the home and outfitted the inside in her own signature style. The walls are a beautiful turquoise blue, she has a loft bedroom, cozy living area (with an awesome green chair!), and a super-functional kitchen. Patti said she purchased probably 50% of her interior off Craigslist or similar listings, which just goes to show you that recycled can be adorable.

This might be one of my favorite tiny homes. Go Patti! Take her video house tour with Tiny r(E)volution below!

This is a brand new Kootenay 24 model by TruForm Tiny that’s going on a wine tour (follow the stops and events here)!

Liberty School Wines and Hope Valley Wines are taking our Tiny Kootenay 24 foot across the country to help promote their wines. The stunning finishes with blue stain pine, double glass french doors, cork floors, burnt cypress exterior and subway tile are really gorgeous.

Agreed! The inside is crisp and simple, and I could certainly sip wine in here. Like it? Check out our post about designing your very own Kootenay here.

This is a Mom and Daughter’s Fantastic Tiny House with a Bunkroom!

Mom works as a traveling nurse, which makes a tiny home the perfect solution since they move every few months for work. “I Am Jake” met up with the family while in Eugene Oregon and got a tour — and dinner! — in their sweet, small space. The tiny includes two lofts, one which they use as a living room, as well as a bunkroom with bunk beds for daughter Victoria. Fast forward the video to 4:45 to see the tiny home!

This is Kendal and Nathan’s Tiny House in a converted two-car garage.

The space is great, and even though Kendal doesn’t say so, it’s quite larger than many THOWs we see here on Tiny House Talk.  I wanted to share it to inspire folks who might have unused or under-used space in their garages that could make great tiny apartments! The main living area includes space for a full kitchen and living room, as well as a desk and dining table. There’s a bathroom downstairs and then steps lead up to the loft where they have their bed and storage.

The ceilings are low in the second story, but besides that I think this is a great, livable little home! Could you live here?

This is a simple 178 sq. ft. backyard tiny cottage that’s 11.5 ft. by 15.5 ft.

The home, rather than using high-end materials, is fitted out with simple finishes. Why show it? Sometimes all we need is “basic” and it’s good to see tiny homes at all levels of finishings. Something like this could be built for a lot less than some of the more “luxury” homes we see. Plus, add some paint and decor, and this could be a really cute space! The best part is the storage staircase. Instead of just drawers, you open it like a closet from the back — I haven’t seen that before.

Check out the full video tour below!

At 39′ long, the name “Tiny Giant” is perfectly fitting for this custom THOW built for Sherry by Alpine Tiny Homes in Utah.

The gooseneck home features everything from full-sized appliances to a doggie door! It has a living room over the gooseneck and a huge loft bedroom on the other side of the home. I really love the beetle-kill pine walls on the inside. New owner Sherry posted a review on Alpine’s Facebook page, saying she loves her custom tiny home!
