Anita’s 24’ tiny house on wheels named Lilypad is an eco-sanctuary with a bohemian soul. She hopes her wee home serves as both shelter – and – springboard to others endeavoring on a path to enhanced self-sufficiency and a gentler way of being. She’s dreaming of the ripple effect. Lilypad utilizes renewable energy resources and features a curved roof, two lofts, dual storage staircases and exposed beams. The home has five distinct areas including a galley kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, office and living room, these spaces are affectionately referred to as Savor, Soak, Slumber, Study and Sit. New windows on the back wall between the staircases installed in January 2016.

  1. This is delightful. Extremely unique and highly personalized. Love the full bath and the pull-out table, but most especially the little black kitty making himself comfortable on that sumptuous bed.

  2. Beautifully decorated, very personal, cozy spaces. Just what tiny living should feel like – abundant and full. I love the roofline. I’d love it even more if the outside had some more of the character of the inside – warm, inviting, and bohemian. Beautiful home.

  3. Anita, I also decorated my apartment bohemian style and have been researching the Tiny Homes for the past five years to get me one. I LOVE your tiny home. It is warm and beautiful. Could you tell me who built it for you? Thank you

    • Hi Laura, thank you so much! My home was custom built by Walt Quade of Small Home Oregon. He is now available for consultations. We don’t have the “As Built” drawings or construction plans available yet, it was a unique design.

  4. This is hands down the most perfect TH I have ever seen. I love how you made the office/closet/etc. Standing up in an office is over rated anyway. The decor is amazing. The only thing I would need is some type of oven, I love to bake. 😉

      • Anita,
        I love your TH! Very clever how you utilized the space. In most the TH I’ve seen, the extra loft is usually used for storage. Not at all pleasing to look at! You mentioned an oven. Is there any pictures that you could send me?
        Would love to hear from you!
