What is the most beautiful tiny house? Well, there are many possible candidates, but speaking for myself, one of the very first that springs to mind is The Gingered Swan, another amazing tiny lodging at Salvage Texas.
This house has an incredibly distinctive layout with two stories and a large balcony over top of a wraparound porch.
The decorative elements of the porch put me in mind of the Old West. But at the same time, this structure is unusual enough that it wouldn’t quite belong there either. It’s more like it is from some kind of fantasy Old West in an alternate universe.
The interior of this tiny lodging is every bit as distinctive as the exterior. An eye-catching color scheme and many beautiful textures combine for an evocative effect.
Steps that blend in with the kitchenette cabinets lead up to the upper story, which feels more like a proper bedroom than a loft.
