Tiny House Special
Buy one for your own backyard!
Good Housekeeping magazine August 2019<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It followed the regular article Home, which this month was Small Space, Big Style. Smaller is sure the thing now!<\/p>\n

The article wasn\u2019t really long, really just a few pages. Most of the tiny houses they talked about we have looked at and blogged about. (A lot of posts aren\u2019t finished and published yet.)<\/p>\n

This garage was turned into a pop-up guesthouse by just adding furniture.<\/p>\n

I haven\u2019t really thought of that as a Tiny House. But if you want a place to eat outside, clear out a garage or shed, clean, paint and add furniture! Why not?<\/p>\n

It would work if you need more room for guests than you have.<\/p>\n

It would also make a pleasant home office, if you have the right climate\u2026<\/p>\n

Allwood Tiny Houses<\/h2>\n

I\u2019ve looked at this Garden House kit by Allwood. I don\u2019t love the looks, but a lot of people do. And it is certainly a good price for the size!<\/p>\n

Allwood Industrials is an importer\/wholesaler and contract manufacturer of wood products. They ship from Garfield, NJ.\u00a0 They sell a lot of different kinds of easy-to-assemble cabin kits.<\/p>\n

Really Tiny<\/h2>\n

The Ultimate \u201cHome Delivery\u201d<\/p>\n

Choose one of these perfect little structures from our editors\u2019 top picks at goodhouse.com\/cabins<\/a> \u2013 it\u2019ll arrive right at your door, ready for assembly.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The one on the left is another Allwood cabin. It is really adorable. I\u2019ve seen tiny houses this tiny, but I couldn\u2019t live in one. But as an office or play room it would be lovely.<\/p>\n

I love this photo of a tiny A-frame guestroom.<\/p>\n

Get cozy in a sleeping cabin.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It looks small, about the size of the mattress.<\/p>\n

The guest room idea sounds good, but I spent about six months in a guest room that I had to leave and cross the yard to unlock the door to the house anytime you need the bathroom. As the winter got colder, I gave up drinking anything earlier and earlier.<\/p>\n

These two are also by Allwood. The top one is the Sommersby Garden House Kit.<\/p>\n

Dreaming of having a pool house? Look no further. With its airy aesthetic, this is the perfect place to hang out after a swim.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I really like the Lillevilla Getaway Cabin Kit. They call it a Chic Shack.<\/p>\n

Take advantage of the roof\u2019s deep overhang to set up a little bistro table in the shade.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Lillevilla is one of the best-selling kit cabin brands in the world.\u00a0 The kits are made in Finland and Germany. The cabins are made from Certified finest Nordic Spruce.<\/p>\n

Good Housekeeping also recommends these plans for Tiny Houses. The one on the left is a Tiny Towable. The one on the right is an adorable tiny cottage. It says they are at that link, but I didn\u2019t find them there.<\/p>\n

Mod Caravan<\/h2>\n
\"Tiny
Tiny House Designing, Building, & Living by Andrew Morrison and Gabriella Morrison<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The article says the Mod Caravan is by Andrew and Gabriella Morrison. They wrote the book Tiny House Designing, Building, & Living<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Tiny House Designing, Building, & Living by Andrew Morrison and Gabriella Morrison<\/strong> is clear and detailed. It goes into everything about tiny house living \u201cfrom downsizing all the way to installation of the final finish detail.\u201d<\/p>\n

The book includes insurance, financing, legalities, different styles of tiny houses and tiny house furnishing, designing your own tiny house and how to build it.<\/p>\n

The writers lived tiny on the beaches of Baja, Mexico. They don\u2019t just have the qualifications to write a book, they\u2019ve lived the tiny life. Gabriella has lived in as little as 80 square feet.<\/p>\n

Cottage Charm<\/h2>\n
\"Cottage
Cottage Charm Plan 889-3, a Signature Plan by Richardson Architects from www.houseplans.com<\/a>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Cottage Charm, the Tiny House on the right, is Plan 889-3 by Richardson Architects for House Plans.<\/p>\n

It is a Signature Plan by Richardson Architects.<\/p>\n

The house is 388 or 399 square feet (depending on where on the page you read) plus the wrap around porch. It is 20\u2019 wide by nearly 33\u2019 deep, and absolutely adorable. The basic plan shown has a bathroom with two sinks, showers and toilets, with another single room with a separate entrance. As it is, it would work great as a bathhouse by a pool, lake or beach. I\u2019ve seen things like this, but they put a pool table in the room, or just used it for storage.<\/p>\n

But, the plan can be customized.<\/p>\n

The Farmhouse style Bath house\/kitchen provides welcoming and comfortable amenities. The design concept embraces a fun, whimsical and practical character. Non-corrosive and wear-resistant materials were used including galvanized sheet metal, sealed board and batten siding, and painted plywood and MDO board. This design includes a bedroom off the porch at the back \u2014 so this design could work well as an in-law or granny unit, or a backyard cottage for guestshouse. The second WC and Shower could be reclaimed for a tub if the bathroom does not do double duty as a pool changing \/ shower room.<\/p>\n

This plan can be customized!

You can see all of the Specs and Features and a lot more photos at https:\/\/www.houseplans.com\/plan\/388-square-feet-1-bedroom-1-bathroom-0-garage-cottage-traditional-39094<\/a><\/p>\n

Why do I like it so much? I think it is the porches, board and batten siding, white paint, and the corrugated metal roof. I think any box you put that on on would be appealing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
