Remember Alek’s amazing DIY tiny house on wheels that I showed you a while back?

If you haven’t seen it be sure you check it out because it’s one of my favorite designs.

And now I’m glad to announce that Alek has made the plans available for us to purchase.

This means you can download the plans and build a tiny home just like theirs.

Or you can take the SketchUp File he provides and customize it to your own needs more specifically (if you wanted).

Tiny Cabins in Sacred Mountain Sanctuary Eco Village

I’m excited about building up a list of up and coming as well as current tiny house communities and in this post I’m introducing you to the 333 acre Sacred Mountain Sanctuary Eco Village which is in Candler, North Carolina.

It’s near Asheville (about 25 minute drive away) and it is a new permaculture eco village that is still being developed. Right now it’s possible to arrange a visit, stay in a cabin, and learn about permaculture.

And in this post you’ll get to tour some of their tiny houses virtually, take a video tour of the village, and check out their website, blog and Facebook page to learn more and connect with Sacred Mountain Sanctuary.

Former CEO Builds Small Home, Tiny Cabin and Treehouse

former ceo builds tiny cabin treehouse and small home 150x150   Former CEO Builds Small Home, Tiny Cabin and Treehouse

After serving as CEO of Virgin America most people would think you’d find Fred Reid in a large luxurious home. But that’s not him. Instead he’s kept his small home and built a tiny cabin as a backyard office as well as an elevated treehouse cabin up in the trees.

I had to share this amazing video, interview and guided tour with you where you get to see his homestead in Sonoma County. This is where his small house, backyard micro cabin, and elevated treehouse are at. And one of the best parts is that his land is located in a Redwoods forest.

Former CEO Builds Small Home, Tiny Cabin & Treehouse

…instead of living in an oversized McMansion. And he explains why below.

Read the original story at on YouTube. If you’d rather have a small home, tiny cabin, and/or treehouse over a McMansion too, help us spread the word using the share buttons below. Thanks!

Sell Your Crap. Pay Your Debt. Do What You Love.

adam baker on sell your crap pay your debt do what you love 2 150x150   Sell Your Crap. Pay Your Debt. Do What You Love.

I recommend you take some time to watch Adam Baker’s TEDTalk in Asheville on selling your crap, paying off your debt, and doing more of what you love.

Int his talk, Adam helps you find clarity if you’re on what way towards downsizing, minimizing, and/or simplifying your life.

Starting with one question. Why are you doing all of this? What does freedom mean to you? What’s REALLY important?

Less Crap, Less Debt, More of What You Love

To me, this is what the tiny house movement is all about. To get rid of stuff (whether it’s physical clutter or even mental clutter) so that we can create space for what REALLY matters to you.

Please help us spread the word to others who may also find this lecture helpful using the share buttons below. Thank you!

Couple Living Tiny in Micro Camper

IMAG2832 150x150   Couple Living Tiny in Micro Camper

I thought you’d enjoy this story of a couple who’s living tiny in their 6′ x 9′ micro camper which happens to be a 1987 teardrop-like travel trailer.

But they have plans on upsizing into a more spacious 8′ x 20′ custom built tiny house on wheels. But for now, they’re content in their teardrop micro home.

I’ll let them tell you the story themselves below…

I encourage you to read their story, check out their tiny home, and even take the video tour below:

Video Tour of the 6′x9′ Teardrop Camper Cabin

“Hello Alex,

I’ve followed your page for some time, and it was where I saw my first tiny house, Dee Williams house! (who we later got to meet in Seattle)

That was in November last year, about a week after my partner and I had got rid of our apartment, things, and jobs and left to live on the road out of our 6′ x 9′ 1987 Teardrop Trailer.

We’ve now been living out of it happily and successfully for 7 months and couldn’t be happier.

We left Ontario, Canada November 1st and drove through the US, up the West coast and through British Columbia and we are now heading back to Ontario and will begin building our very own tiny house with a month.

So for us, we are upgrading in size as the house will be 8′ x 20′ and our space is now 6′ x 9′! Haha.

We are aiming to have our build be interactive with our local community as there is a growing interest in smaller more intentional living, but there aren’t many tiny house people in Southern Ontario.

We hope our journey can inspire people locally the way people a part of this movement have inspired us.

I’ve attached some photos and a video, feel free to share it.
