Tiny Houses are my new obsession. I am convinced that immediately following my graduation- I am going to move somewhere remote (ish) and build myself a tiny house to live in- then while living in the tiny house work a full time job and save up to build my own not-so-tiny, tiny house. Or something...So the Tiny House movement is gaining speed for good reason. People are building their own home, for very little money and little impact on the earth. They are cheap to heat, to build and to live in. What could be more perfect?
The design I've focused on as a builders house (one to live in for a few years while I build my dream house) is a small one bedroom house (like pictured above). The main floor is the kitchen and living space, with a ladder to the loft area- then a small room in the back complete with sink, toilet and shower. Versions of this house are famously pulled by a regular 4x4 truck! Absolutely insane, no? But surely an option if you don't want to waste money renting for a few years.
There are free blue prints for these buildings everywhere- Notably I've been looking at the Tubleweed Building Co.
While I'm living in this house- I want to build a small cottage to live in. Nothing spectacular- maybe an extra bedroom or two for guests or the eventual child I may or may not want in the future, a big kitchen (my only priority), nice bathroom 1.5 bathrooms would be nice and gardens everywhere!
My dream home looks a little like this.
