πŸ› οΈ A tiny house built at 19 for $45K, 399 sq ft cottages & a silo home


Happy Wednesday! Two new posts this morning β€” a woman who built her own tiny house at nineteen, and a spare bedroom you can park in the garden. Then five of the most popular, quirky homes in our archive.

πŸ› οΈ She Built Her Own Tiny House at 19​
New today: Annie was nineteen, hated how temporary renting felt, and built her own place for $45,000 β€” pink kitchen, back porch, no regrets.

πŸ›οΈ A Spare Bedroom You Can Park Outside​
Also new: CozyCo's Cub has no kitchen, and that is deliberate. A studio bedroom with a private ensuite on a trailer, around $70,000 β€” an extension without the building work.

πŸƒ Special Pricing on New Escape Tiny Homes β€” Several Ready Now​
Escape is running special deals across its all-electric lineup, including finished models available for immediate delivery β€” no build queue, no months of waiting.

🏑 399 Sq Ft SIP-Built Cottages​
The Eclipse Cottages are low-maintenance small homes built from SIP panels for tiny house villages. The single most-clicked home in our entire archive.

🌾 A Grain Silo With 3 Bedrooms​
A converted grain silo in Oklahoma with three bedrooms, one and a half baths and two floors of round living space. Curved walls, and somehow it works.

🌲 A Two-Storey Off-Grid Treehouse​
Cam is a woodworker and furniture builder, which shows in every joint of this two-storey off-grid treehouse in Ontario's Haliburton Highlands.

🚌 A Shuttle Bus Lined in Cedar​
A 2008 Ford E-350 shuttle bus that feels like stepping into a mountain cabin rather than a vehicle. Cedar everywhere, by Boho Camper Vans.

πŸ•οΈ 600 Sq Ft, Off-Grid, Award-Winning​
The Ohio Valley Hut is a 600 sq ft off-grid cedar cabin by Midland Architects β€” an AIA award winner that still looks like somewhere you could live.
