Tumbleweed Houses
Since 1997, Jay Shafer of the Tumbleweed Tiny House Company has been living in homes smaller than most people's closets. Though tiny, these cozy, cabin-esque home designs somehow fit everything you need inside them: a workspace, bedroom, bathroom (with toilet and shower) and living space. Some designs include a porch so the homeowner can sit out and enjoy the open spaces.

Very very sweet
This is my favorite one! Too cute for words.
So cool I love it
I'm currently a renter, but I have big plans to own a small place like these in the future :)
In a world of over spending, waste,contamination and too many toys. One hopefully evolves to the point of smart living and the art of living..We must change for the betterment of basic survival. Being "Rich" doesn't always mean material wealth.
I love these little homes. I currently live in a 780 sq ft apt and pay $590 a mth in rent. I often times think I have too much room and have to listen to others making noise, their music, smelling their foods cooking, flushing toilets. Oh My. I could have my own private place and probly take it any where I went> Now how cool is that?!
It seems great until I realized that my shoe closet is bigger than those houses.
Enter your comments For years I have been thinking about getting a large shed and converting it into a home with things from the RV Store, also things kids have in dorms, such as the small fridges, streamlined chairs, and other furniture. IKEA would be the perfect place to start. Wouldn't it be so neat to also have a tiny basement in which to have a stackable washer and dryer? Also, down there I could have a bookcase and an armoir for extra storage of seasonal clothing. I'm not quite into the.... More
to find a spot for the washer on the main level and use a clothesline to dry clothes. Build the bookcases near the ceilings or low to the ground. The problem with basements (and stairs in general) is that many people lose the ability to live on their own because they no longer can safely navigate stairs. But, I agree with you--great ideas! We thought about the same when we had teen kids who kept bringing home strays to live with us for a few "days." (weeks, months) The large house like sheds at.... More
As usual, the cool factor outweighs reality. These small houses average more that $500 per square foot. Why?

To Tom,
In a large house, expensive things like the cost of plumbing, electricity, windows and doors are spread out among the square footage of large open (wasted) areas like the center of your living room or bedroom floor which is really not much more than plywood. In a small house, you don't have the area to disperse or hide these expensive.... More
These are very nice looking and cozy houses. However its really nice of them rich people to take all the money so we can resort to living in claustrophobic spaces .Nice of them to make imitation crab. lobster and scallops for us poor people also :)
WOW!!! I had no idea that the quarter of my earnings that I pay in taxes every year goes to those evil rich people and not our wonderful overspending, overreaching government. I sure am glad you are here to clear that one up.
...is spent somewhere. Most of it goes to large American companies. Those companies send an oversized portion of their earnings to their rich C level employees.
If you want to be rich, then stop spending 400$ a month on utilities month after month after month after month.
After work, hang out at the gym with the AC until it cools down to below 80 outside.. and take your 20 minute shower there, not at home. You probably don't even need running water at home at that point, just a couple of 5 gallon Deer Park bottles.
are you for real? So I should go a hike energy off someone else? And perhaps I can save on money by getting food stamps. And why not just save on rent and get free government housing? Sorry, but I have enough self respect to pay for my own electricity. You're a lib, right?
You're one of those obnoxious people who has to inject politics into absolutely everything, right?
You don't have any friends, right?
WOW, I CAN LIVE JUST ONE DAY THATS IT.
I DONT KNOW I CAN STAY ONE DAY, JUST ONE DAY, THATS
but i could never live in one, no offense to the ones who do.
that looks really cute. i love it
My homemade beachhouse in the woods is 12" X 12" X 12' and I have everything other houses have just very small and organized. I'm a mural artist so mine is painted inside like Atlantis (underwater scenes) I never want a big house again.
Hi Shirley, do you have any pictures you could share of your home, it sounds fabulous? I am really considering a tiny place but I am an artist also so was concerned about having area to work. My email is charsartandsoul@gmail.com
haha I thought the same thing about the monsters inc. thing.
this looks like the house in monsters inc where one of the doors takes them its like out in no where.. yeah...
I love it, i love it , i love it
