I love old-fashioned trains, and ever since I was a child, I thought how cool it would be to live in one (I read all of the Boxcar Children books when I was small). Well, this couple in Minocqua, WI, has actually done it! And not only that, but they have chosen to turn the […]
Dedicated Mother Builds a Home For Her Daughter and Herself Out of a Shipping Container

Simplistic Design! This Tiny House Cost Only $2,000 to Build {Free Plans}

While we focus mostly on tiny houses on this site, now and again we like to highlight some of the amazing “tiny furniture” designs which are built for compact spaces.
