I’d like to submit my tiny home for consideration for Tiny House Swoon! My partner and I built our tiny home from scratch out of recycled materials, which primarily came from movie sets we built and tore down (we own a production company in the film business). We use the ship’s wheel in the front, and a system of pulleys and ropes to lift our roof – our office “wings” also expand, with all the walls on hinges, they fold out like a cardboard box. All these features, for less than $20k! She’s still a work in progress, though.

Very pretty — /too/ pretty, really. The inside is busier than a beehive at rush hour, which is actually something of a minus. If it were less busy, that would be better — a super busy place like this will put you out of your head.
Also, why is there not a footboard or some sort of fence/stop/rest to keep you from falling off the end of the bed?! No offense to them, but I sincerely hope this couple does not have children — kids would wreck the place (and themselves) in a hot minute!
“The inside is busier than a beehive at rush hour, which is actually something of a minus.” Some of us pine for simplicity but others of us have different needs. This boho splendor is luxurious and artful, all within a small number of feet. This is my favorite thow hands down.
Strangers could do better things with their time than imagining dangers for unborn children. lol
this is the BEST tiny house I have ever seen…LOVE IT!!!
Fantastic! Hope it weathers well and you love living in it for many happy years. Saw my first traveler’s van/hut many years ago and dreamed of my own.
Who is the musician? It is perfect for such a whimsical place.
I actually like the busyness of it. Never a dull moment. I find it comfy and restful. To each their own!
It is lovely! Yes, to each their own. You have an incredible artist’s eye and creativity. Who is the music accompaniment by? Love it too…
Absolutely Brilliant!
This is like a beautiful fairytale castle! Such artistry and imagination! It’s fantastic!
It would have been nice to see the moving parts in action in the video.
i really like this house…but for me too much clutter….makes my eyes and brain spin……………but love your inventiveness all the same.
Looks very Nouveau Gypsy and is fabulous for the anti-minimalists among us. The fact that they were able to create this masterpiece for 20K is astounding. Hats off to the owners’ creativity and industry. I wouldn’t want the housework, but this is definitely a great job!
I absolutely love your home….it is the most warm home I’ve ever saw….love love love it…wish i could get it here to SC
I am in awe! The creativity of some people just baffles my brain! They have created their own personal space, with all that they love surrounding them. I saw a guitar, and can I assume that the delightful little tune was sung and written Chloe? Thanks for the fairy tale tour!
excellent… congratulations .. someone actually lives here……….. I do not like the placement of the toilet , and I am sure they have their reasons.
