Kelly submitted a photo of her Vermont Garden Cottage. It’s a 6 x 8 garden studio that her husband Joe designed and built it himself. I thought it was pretty impressive for his first building project.
They spent just $200 on costs for it and it was made with mostly recycled materials.
So here’s my tiny house. It’s a 1995 Intervec Falcon 190 Class B RV. Lately I have been calling it our guest house because it’s parked outside of our 500 square foot apartment–interior pics coming soon!
It’s a micro efficiency on wheels. It has a couch that converts into a small bed. A loft sleeping area up top with very little head room. A little kitchenette with a refrigerator, cook stove, sink, and cabinets. And a little shower and toilet in the rear.
David (thanks!) sent me this link to a dealer in Louisiana who deals with miniature trucks and vans. They’re much smaller than what we’re used to here in the U.S. and are much better with gas mileage. I can see how trucks like these will gain popularity due to their fuel efficiency and usefulness.
Total cost to construct this was $3,275 in 2005. Prices have gone up since.

This gypsy caravan is being sold from a film prop company who is getting rid of extra props. The wagon dates back to the early 1900′s.
It was fully restored about four years ago and they have kept it in excellent condition since then.
The exterior is 7’10″ wide, 14′ long, and 10’8″ high.
On the inside you will find a closet, shelves, windows, sink space, bunk beds with storage, and a large seat with storage.
The interior dimensions are 9′ long, 6′ wide, and 6′ 9″ tall–so there’s plenty of head space.
This gypsy caravan is located in Dorset, United Kingdon–this is west of London.
