Bette Presley, of Arroyo Grande, was already living relatively small before she decided to go tiny.
She downsized from her Grandmothers’ Club mobile home park into her own Tumbleweed Tiny House of just 166 square feet.
Part of the goal, she says, is to save her five adult children from having to go through all of her belongings when she passes.
Even better, she hopes she can completely avoid having to go into a nursing home and instead, just stay in her beautiful Tumbleweed cabin.

I haven’t shared the news from Tumbleweed tiny houses with you yet.
They’ve recently released their new Cypress 20 tiny house design and plans.
Cypress 20 Tiny House

So it’s just a bit larger and designed differently inside. Let me show you.
It may look like you’ve seen it before because it resembles most of Tumbleweed’s designs, but I assure you it’s new:

The biggest…littlest…um, the latest news in Tiny: La Petite Maison. I’m sure you’ve heard of it; it isn’t all that new, but this 12 year old girl has been taking the tinyverse by storm.
She has been featured in a guest post on the Tumbleweed Tiny House blog. She appeared on Andrew Odom’s r(E)vo Convo Podcast.
She and her Mom even got a chance to visit the Tiny r(e)volution while it was still in Georgia. She also recently visited the Tiny House Showcase, Boneyard Studios, in Washington DC.
There is almost nothing that Sicily Kolbeck hasn’t done and she isn’t even thirteen. As far as anyone knows, Sicily is the youngest tiny house builder on record.
I really wish I had her level of confidence when I was her age.

Chris Miller of Forbes interviews a co-worker, Adam, who lives in a tiny house on a trailer.
The home sits on a 9′ by 18′ trailer and is just 130 square feet.
Adam was initially inspired to downsize back in 2007.
Within a year and a half he had purchased building plans and began construction.
His motives were to create his own home that he can take with him.
He’d lived in apartments and homes before but was always missing that permanent home feeling.
Today he’s got that with his little house and he’s able to take it with him wherever he chooses to go.
