4 out of 5 stars
This book has me so excited to build my tiny house.
I’ve been obsessed with tiny houses for a few years now, and now that I’m in the transition stage of becoming an adult its been having me thinking about it more and more. Tiny houses are so smart. They’re sustainable and eco-friendly. They’re cheap so I wouldn’t have to have a 30 year mortgage. They’re easily moveable (if you have it on wheels). It just seems like the PERFECT option for me for a first home. So, I’ve been reading up on them more and more.
I love the idea of using reclaimed materials to source a majority of the things I would need to build a tiny house, and this book had some amazing tips when it came to finding and using reclaimed materials. This not only makes the build MUCH cheaper, it’s also so much more eco-friendly and sustainable because you typically are keeping a lot out of landfills.
There was one home in this book that really inspired me with the decor and layout. I want reclaimed wood flooring, a loft for the bedroom, and pretty much white everything. I love how light and bright the space looked! Here are some tiny house inspirations that I LOVE!
They’re literally just the cutest things ever and I want to create one :)
