Have you ever dreamed of simple living in a tiny cabin?
If you prefer tiny houses on foundations instead of on trailers I think you’ll enjoy this.
From the outside it looks like it might just be a shed. But it’s a little more than just that.
The only thing it’s missing is an indoor bathroom. So I imagine there’s an outhouse nearby.

Tiny House Hobbies: 5 Things You Can Do in Small Spaces
In a recent comment, someone asked the question:

I thought I might take a stab at addressing tiny house hobbies. Of course, as usual, I can only speak to my own experience. I hope that maybe other tiny house dwellers that have different and perhaps more complex hobbies can also chime into the conversation.
When I was thinking about our hobbies I realized that many of them, with the exception of two that I will get to later, are designed to use very few accessories.I encourage you to read below to learn about our 5 tiny house friendly hobbies that you might want to do too:
