It took him 5 years to build. It’s a complete labor of love. His name is Mike Basich and this is his DIY 225 sq. ft. tiny home on his 40-acre property in California. I’ve told you about him before here. But in this new video, you’ll get to go even deeper into his life and learn some new things about him and his incredible lifestyle. The best part about it all is that Mike Basich made his dreams a reality.
He even has his own chairlift which took him about 8 months to build with his friends so he can go snowboarding on his own property. His house may be tiny, but he literally has his own resort. And his tiny cabin’s design is just absolutely awesome. See for yourself below. 🙂

I’ve been finding many people who are living and building the tiny house dream.
And I’m excited to introduce you to Trevor and Mary of Heart of It All House. They are building a 28 ft tiny house on wheels.
Their journey began 4 months ago when they visited Joe of Tennessee Tiny Homes to pick up their 28 ft trailer and haul it back home to Dayton, Ohio.
They are using building plans from Tiny House Build to construct their hOMe.
“I’ve been waiting for this day for nearly 5 years. The day we would begin to build & frame our first Tiny House.” – Trevor, Heart of It All House
So does that mean there will be more tiny houses in their future?
The tiny house is not done yet but we can continue to follow the progress on their website and Instagram.

Check out this 236 sq. ft. zen teahouse that can easily be a backyard office or guest retreat.
The owner of the zen teahouse was a internationally known architect, Pietro Belluschi, who was known during his lifetime for designing skyscrapers and churches with steeples in Portland, Oregon.
His son, Anthony Belluschi, has now restored the original 1944 tiny house into what you see below.
Pietro used to use it for reading architect plans, drafting, napping and as a simple getaway in his own back yard.
Inside the zen teahouse you will find three defined sections that are separated by sliding shoji screen doors.
This is to separate the kitchen from the bathroom and living/sleeping area.
Would you make a backyard office like this? Or could you live in a space like this full time?

Is it possible to live in a tiny house on wheels with two kids? Well, of course it is.
Check out Nathan and Sarah and their two kids, Emma & Ethan, who are building a 24′ tiny house on wheels.
After attending a two-day Tumbleweed workshop they were so inspired and ready to start building a home for themselves.
With no building experience what so ever they purchased the plans and the trailer to build the Cypress 24 from Tumbleweed.
Thanks to the help and support of family and friends they are able to make this happen.
Follow their journey (Tiny House on a Farm) as they continue to build their tiny house on wheels that will soon be their awesome home.
Home is where the heart is no matter how big or tiny the house.

We love when we find people who are out there really living their dream and making things happen!
I want you to meet John and Amy of Tiny House of the South.
They are building a 24 ft tiny house on wheels. Why? So they can live debt free, travel and to live the life they dream of.
It all began for them in 2010 when Amy saw Jay Shafer’s blog that inspired them to build a tiny house on wheels of their own. The sheer beauty and simplicity of the whole tiny living idea was fascinating to Amy and soon, John, too.
“Once she stumbled across the tiny house movement, Amy realized that it could be a way to build a better future. Her conviction for a simpler way of life was the infectious catalyst to start living the tiny dream, and now she works to share that dream with anyone who will listen.” – Tiny House of the South
They attended a hands-on workshop with Dan Louche of Tiny Home Builders. And by 2013, they began saving and planning to build the ultimate tiny house on wheels for themselves.
The tiny house is not done yet but we can continue to follow the progress on their website and Instagram.

Are you interested in living off the grid? It can be challenging to provide for your own needs for energy, water and other resources, but for John Wells, it’s preferable to the challenge of working a traditional job so he can buy those resources from someone else.
John has received plenty of press, from Lloyd Kahn’s “Tiny Homes, Simple Shelter” to a 2011 New York Times Profile, for moving from upstate New York to the Texas desert to build an off-grid, 128-square foot home, and then blogging about it daily for years. I visited him personally to understand more about how he made that transition, and what makes an off-grid life work.
John felt the land he bought in Southwest Texas was so cheap that his off-grid experiment didn’t agree with him, he could quit without losing much. Living in a little house works for him partially because most of his life takes place outside. When his bills and mortgage were more than he could handle in New York, he rented his house to summer vacationers and moved into a travel trailer in his backyard. That experience helped him see home as a small place to relax after a day of activity.

This adorable tiny home in the middle of Stockholm is secluded away in a small courtyard, perfect for entertaining guests.
Like the outside, the inside of this 300 sq. ft. home is quaint and features classic subway tiles and cool grey cabinets. The home is bright and clean which allows for the small space to feel roomy and airy.
The bottom floor of this tiny home features the kitchen, bathroom and living area. Then you can take the rustic staircase up to the second floor, where you’ll find the bedroom which is roomy enough to fit a bed, a small accent chair and TV console. The bedroom, like the first floor feels light and airy due to two skylights.
