I have been following Tiny House Swoon for a while now. Almost every new one I see takes my breath away and there are features about them that I marvel at.
This is the first one I’ve been disappointed in. The rusty tin doesn’t look nostalgic to me. It just looks like nobody cares about maintenance. And I am thinking that if one took a bath with hot water in that bathroom, the condensation would be horrible.
And is that sheet vinyl on the kitchen counter?
I do like the counter space and cupboards in the kitchen. And I do like having storage space in the bathroom.
But that rusty tin…… can’t deal with that!
Love the creativity, I have looked at lots of Tiny Houses and love this ones bathtub, rust and fold down kitchen counter/cutting board. I am into the least money spent the better, bravo!
It sure does look like sheet vinyl on the kitchen counter top – same stuff that’s on the bathroom floor. I don’t like the rust effect either. It sure wouldn’t be a suitable home in a colder climate. Not the most impressive tiny home I’ve seen.
It’s ceramic tile on the countertop. If ya can’t tell the difference between vinyl and ceramic you don’t have the right to criticize others. They was going for the rustic look and I think they did a great job. As for the bathtub if you spray the outside with expanding foam you don’t have to worry about condensation.
This guys ass. He doesn’t know something that’s stylishly comfortable if it hit him upside the head. You did an excellent job my friend. Keep up the good work brother….
Fantastic! Love the rustic galvanized exterior!

Well… its your your opinion, the western world is (hopefully) still free. There are areas where I too would not like rust.
I follow tinyhouseswoon, too, and almost none of the houses is my dream house, but some are really close, I can steal a good idea here and there and improve my dream house more and more.
And you will have to admit, that this rusty tin is an honest surface, at least.
It does not pretend so be more than it really is.
Honest surfaces degrade and age gracefully, showing the age, past usage and some wrinkles, but without becoming ugly.
OTOH, glossy , artificial surfaces will become ugly after some time and need to be replaced.
In an environment of honest surfaces, man has a chance to age with his environment.
In an environment of glossy , artificial surfaces, man will most likely look older and more worn out than his environment.
Rusty surfaces can be really nice. Google for “Corten steel”. And you can stop, encapsulate and conserve rust for example with “Fertan” or “Owatrol” (trade names, please google for them, I only get results in german language), so you can have stylish rust, full functionality, and no rusty fingers at all.
I look at Tiny House Swoon almost daily. I love this house!!!! I love the use of color, the true neatness of the house and the use of every available space!!!!!!!!! This is a wonderful home and I have many more ideas now since I have had the pleasure of viewing it. Thank you for the opportunity!!!
As for the comments from Tiny Camper. You are correct, we are all blessed with the right to our own opinions, this one though sounds more to me like a spoiled child who is ticked off because YOU had the forethought and the determination to build that cool bathroom just the way you did!! Personal envy can be nasty. So can people who can’t think of anything nice to say. I love your home. Great, great job!!! Condensation be damned, let the mirror dry and move on. Have a blessed day.
TC, there’s legitimate opinion, and there’s thoughtlessness. People submit swwons because they’re builders sometimes, and then it makes sense to ask if other materials are available, and other people submit swoons because they are proud of their homes and want to share them. Even then, it seems reasonable to ask somethibg like, “do you get condensation issues with the tin?”
But would you walk into somebody’s house and say, “vinyl flooring, blechhh?” This isn’t the comments section of Architectural Digest. It’s a little, personal place for tiny dreaming.
For my part, I’m a clapboard girl, but like many elements of this house, includung the tub and chalkboard framed mirror. ‘My humble commode,” LOL. The tree-limb railing, too, and charming hostess smiling through it as well!
I’m adding that this house is full of creative touches that I love and remind me of the great Tiny Texas Houses. Including the tin, which, btw, has been used successfully in tiny bathrooms since Jay Schaefer was a pup. ; – )
i always suspected Jay Shafer was once a pup.
The first thing I was going to say was that I absolutely love the rusty tin. All those little nooks in the bathroom are genius – making use of every square inch. The stained glass window in the sleeping loft is so charming. And if yo
