This is one couple’s DIY Tumbleweed tiny house on wheels.
Outside, you’ll notice darkly stained pine clapboards encompassing the tiny trailer house. The trim is a periwinkle blue and the roof line includes two side dormers for extra space when you’re in the sleeping loft.
When you go inside, you’ll find a drafting desk, stand-up desk that doubles as storage, kitchen, bathroom, sleeping loft, and more. The couple took about seven months to build it. They plan to continue making improvements while living in it.

Tumbleweed homes are always a popular choice for tiny home enthusiasts and Ariel’s Fy Nyth home shows us why.
Outside, you’ll notice an all-weather house, encapsulated in horizontal grey siding with black trimmed windows. The house is entirely off-the-grid and features solar panels for power. It’s nestled among the trees in Wyoming where Ariel lives.
When you go inside, you’ll find the entire inside of the house lined with gorgeous pine. Ariel has an L-shaped couch in one corner that can double as a guest bed, as well as stairs that double as storage – there’s a drawer in ever step! Because she loves to cook, there’s a full stove and open shelf to store every pot and pan you can imagine. The bathroom includes a shower that Ariel uses as a closet because she prefers to shower at the gym, as well as a composting toilet. Just climb up the stairs and find a full bed tucked behind walls, as well as her house plants and a chest for more storage. Check out her video below for a full tour!

When this woman wanted to find a better and more affordable housing solution she decided to go with a triple axle Tumbleweed Tiny House on Wheels built by The Shed Yard in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
It’s fully off-grid with solar panels and all and is 24′ long and 7.5′ wide to make room for road legal overhangs. The sleeping loft even features dormers to increase spaciousness inside.
Right now Ariel, the tiny home owner, is happily living in her house in the mountains of Wyoming with no plans of moving anytime soon. But if plans change, isn’t it pretty awesome that she can take her house with her? She named her tiny house Fy Nyth which, in Old English, means the nest. Isn’t that nice? Please enjoy, visit her blog for more info and re-share below. Thank you!

This 172 sq. ft. Tumbleweed Mica Tiny House on Wheels is 20 feet long.
The outside is finished with hot rolled steel. Over time it oxidizes and gives it a rustic look and feel that’s easy to maintain.
The Mica is designed with the wheels completely under the house which helps give the ability to easily install a sliding glass door.
It’s a one level tiny house design without an upstairs sleeping loft. So if you don’t like ladders and still want to go tiny, something like this might be a good option.

People ask us all the time how we can live together in 120 square feet. It is asked as though people are surprised that a couple would even have any interest in being that close to one another. We always smile and laugh politely and tell them that we have 15 acres so we always have an exit. In reality, we’ve never had any problems living in our tiny house. That isn’t to say we haven’t fought, but we also fought in a 2700 square foot house and the dynamics don’t really change.
So when I was talking with Alex here at Tiny House Talk about my next few topics and he suggested Tiny House Plans for Couples, I was intrigued. As far as I am concerned the best tiny house for a couple is whatever tiny house they want to live in. But, I accepted the challenge and here are three tiny house plans that I think can be great for couples.

The Tarleton by Tumbleweed Tiny House. Okay, I am a bit biased. Our tiny house is a Tarleton that we modified slightly as we built it. I think this 120 square foot home is perfect and has everything two people need: a reasonably sized kitchen, a bathroom with a shower, a nice sitting area, and a loft. Friends came to visit recently who hadn’t yet been to the tiny house and they commented on how much bigger it was than they thought. It is a pretty spacious little house that is designed well. Buy the plans here.
Take a look at my other two favorite tiny house plans for couples below:
Tumbleweed Tiny Houses will be appearing on HGTV’s Design Star show tonight at 9pm EST.
You’ll be able to watch the three final contestants design three of Tumbleweed’s new Box Bungalow tiny house designs which you can see below.
Update: You can watch the entire episode right now on the HGTV Design Star website.
They will be working on the interior design so I believe the units will be empty except for a kitchen and bathroom.
Each one is just 99 square feet inside. If you miss the show tonight don’t worry– you can catch it on Hulu this Friday.

As I mentioned earlier this week when I first announced this tiny house design contest, this episode will be viewed by an audience of more than 3.5 million people.
It’s encouraging to see that the idea of living in smaller houses is appealing to more people, including the media, Even if it only means that some folks will go from 2,000 square feet to 1,200. There are so many benefits to going smaller. Fewer bills = more freedom!
Awareness of tiny houses encourages people to build an extra little house in their backyard to help support themselves or to provide housing for a loved one.
If you wanted to learn more about the Box Bungalow designs that you saw on the show, Jay Shafer, Tumbleweed’s founder, released his new book based on his new designs. Learn more about the book by watching this video.
How do you think the contestants will react to the project? Do you think they will be surprised, shocked or open to the idea of simple living to this “extreme”?
