My blog may still be unfocused, but I’m starting to gain a bit of that elusive edge in my life. I’ve finally quit straddling the fence on what I plan to do next with my life. I’ve spent my last multi-hour session on eBay salivating over RV options for the foreseeable future. I’m no longer [...]
Ok, my office “situation” was beyond unbearable. I had actually started queuing up the Flickr slideshow of Uncluttered Office Spaces to try to inspire myself. My “borrowed” desk was supposed to be temporary, but it had become way too permanent. It was too tall, which meant that my feet were dangling from my deskchair and [...]
Apartment Therapy has some of the best “living small” resources around. I particularly like their contests. The Small Cool 2008 contest just ended (this is the fourth annual event for tiny spaces that rock). If you want to check out the winners for some ideas on ways to decorate your own smaller spaces, visit the [...]
This interesting little tiny home is built on the top of a billboard support. I find it interesting, since just the other day (being the alternative housing nut that I am)… I looked at a billboard with the surrounding platform and thought to myself, that would be a cool place to put a tiny house… [...]
GrassRoads.Blogspot.com recently published some great shots of Pakistani “Magic Buses” (including the one to the left). I’ve always thought that the gypsy look with wagon homes was a cool, overdone look, but this style is even MORE ornate and creative!
There was a book I read back in 1989 — I actually got it from the [...]
I found a cool “tiny house” RV online today — a 1978 31′ Airstream on eBay that is simply too pretty not to go and ogle. This classic Airstream has been taken down to the ribs and built back beautifully — and better than it was originally. (The owners took the 6-Million Dollar Man approach… [...]
Although all the houses (and features) aren’t directly related to Tiny Homes, I just love this website, aptly named “Off Beat Homes” which displays unusual homes, details and treatments. I particularly like the idea of a tiny house with a fairytale styled roof. (Isn’t that sweet?!?!)
You may also enjoy looking at these unusual home and [...]
I saw one of these several years ago and salivated ALOT! You can have one on eBay (if you bid quickly) today for (as of this moment, just over $12K). When I looked at them they were over $30K.
Quick! Go look before it’s gone!
Be sure to look at the interior shots (the prettiest thing about [...]
Great “tiny house” find online! This stacked wood cabin has a water interest front yard, a place to sleep, a wood-burning stove and a sitting area inside (and another outside). How cozy!
This minimalistic house was found on the “A weekly dose of architecture” site via Materialicio.us. Visit photographer Kristien Daem’s site for more architecture as [...]
Ok, this one is a new concept in my tiny house experience. How would you like a fold-up house that is only 8 foot across during transport, but rather spacious when it’s set up?
It only takes a couple hours to go from transport stage to fully habitable in this “habitaflex house”
Be sure to check out [...]
Ok, today I made the decision that I was going to sell Serenity, my Airstream trailer. My dream was always to have an Airstream Bambi, and pull it with a 4-WD small to medium sized vehicle. I purchased a larger RV because my former spouse refused to consider a Bambi as a real travel option. [...]
After Lowes’ Katrina houses, we now have IKEA’s flat-box shipped house options. But, they aren’t available in the US — at least not yet.
These little gems aren’t inexpensive, however. And one development in northern Europe is using the BoKlok homes, clustered, in neighborhoods. To learn more, read this Realtytimes.com article.
Although I love the tiny houses, [...]
Take a walk on the woodsy side with this enchanting tiny house from Whales — built by hand with straw bales, imagination and little else. Simply amazing low-impact housing with a sense of magic and wonder — and all built for 3000 British pounds.
On the topic of tiny houses, this one is another oddity. But isn’t it fun?
See more of the interior and exterior here: http://itsjustabitoffun.com/date/2007/8/20/.
I think I have found one of the sweetest little Tiny Houses in the USA while cruising around online the other day. Now, I’d just love to have this tiny little thing built into the side of the cliff, overlooking the “big creek” on my own farm!
A client sent me information and photos of the smallest house in Toronto, Canada this week. She knew I have a thing for tiny houses, and she said this one should be right up my alley. The house, purchased for $139,000 last year (according to a report from Reuters), has recently been revamped and is [...]
I’ve become somewhat of a connoisseur of small spaces, not merely because I’m building one, but more because I thoroughly appreciate them. I love tiny spaces that are huge on benefit, utility and beauty. Design matters when you build small. Materials matter. Finishes matters. All the details matter.
With that in mind, I’d like to share [...]
As I prepare to move again, I look around and wonder… how much of this stuff is actually adding to my quality of life and how much is detracting from it? I pack, and pack and pack some more. It’s exhausting. And I’m moving into a tiny cabin, so I’m not sure where it’s all [...]
It’s Fall! This weekend, the colors were astounding. I think this weekend was the peak for this year. The cold snap last week brought out the fire in the leaves on the farm. It was quite a show. Simply beautiful.
Over this long weekend (the kids had Thursday and Friday off school for Fall Break), my [...]
