  1. I love this blog but just a piece of constructive criticism: I sometimes feel very claustrophobic when I look at the photos. Maybe it’s just me but they seem to be taken at really close-up angles that makes it hard to get an idea of what the tiny homes look like. I want to get a sense of the layout and be able to feel like I’m standing back and appreciating the decor from slightly further away.

    Just a thought.

    • It’s really hard to get good photos of a tiny house with a regular camera. You either have to use a lens that distorts or make do with the close up angles because there is no place to stand back far enough to get a really wide view. You can maybe take a shot or two through a window or door or do some crazy contortions but it is not easy.

  2. I like the beach cottage theme and some of the elements that reflect that theme. I’m curious why the ridge beam needed to stick out of the roofing. Perhaps a design element? I would think it would be a magnet for rain, wasps, etc. How is this cottage heated and cooled?

  3. The shingles are especially nice. It’s beautifully light and airy inside. Where it my, I’d opt for a larger sink , and refrigerator, raise , with a drawer underneath . Definitely could use a stove and oven, but it’s a very sweet presentation all in all, and I’d certainly take it if someone gave it to me!

  4. You know, those carpet tiles aren’t a bad idea in the loft. I’ve wondered how the mattresses don’t get damp from the perspiration/condensation cycle. A layer of heavier/thicker grade carpet or maybe something more like a hemp mat might offer enough circulation.. I’d also thought about perforating the floor boards on a regular metric with a small hole saw to improve air circulation or maybe using a heavier gauge lath as flooring in the lofts. Looking at the ratio of bodies to air volume, and showers and air conditioners, etc., the air quality in a tiny home is worth some consideration.

    Another two cents…
