Jeff and Arlene have completed their tiny house and have pulled it up from California to Seattle. After a safe trip the house is now sitting in its new space in Ballard, the neighborhood in Seattle where they have settled. The house design is a Tumbleweed Fencl and you can see construction photos on their […]
I really love cube shaped tiny houses as long as they have some kind of pitched roof. I realize that technically the addition of a pitched roof means they are not really cube shaped but for me pitched roofs are a requirement. So when I saw this solar cube I was really impressed. I suspect […]
I’m really trained and educated as a potter so when I saw this tiny house made from a giant piece of African pottery I knew I’d have to share it with you this week on Tiny House Living. Be sure to read more about it at Shedworking. Oh and for those of you hoping to […]
This isn’t really about a tiny house but instead old-fashion simple living. Dick and Bonnie Cain live out in a remote part of West Texas without running water, electricity, or any other modern amenities.

While doing some research on Thoreau’s Walden cabin I accidently ran across this cabin builder in Ely Minnesota. They build some really nice storybook timber frame cabins that range in size from 10′ by 10′ to 14′ by 18′. Wee Cabin Company
Over the weekend I was contacted by a fellow named Neville Montgomery, a business owner in Cape Town, South Africa. He owns a high-end retail store in downtown Cape Town and has an employee that came to him asking if he had any spare plastic tarp she could use on her house to keep the […]
Some recent news about the Sacramento Police rousting a group of homeless folks from their temporary tent town got me a bit riled up last week. Being someone who likes to take proactive measures when trouble brews I set to work on publishing a simple panelized structure that could be built as temporary housing for […]
Designed by architect Manuel Villa this little house was built to augment a larger home on the outskirts of Bogotá, Colombia. I really like the out-of-the-box design and the idea of a tiny dome home. Photo credit to Manuel Villa. I first spotted this on RowdyKittens. Dome Home
