Epu Tiny House
The Epu tiny house is another design by Tumbleweed Houses. This house is 89 square feet with an actual porch. Well, a mini porch!
It’s made to be built on a dual axle trailer and is still very small in comparison to some of the others–making it relatively easy to move around and park.
This model has a kitchen in the rear with an open main room with a built in desk. The sleeping area is designed to be upstairs in a loft.

Instead of a bed in your lofts, why don’t you just start using Resource Furniture’s desk/bed in all of the tiny houses? Yes, it’s a little expensive, but you only buy it ONCE and it would be worth it to me to NOT have to climb up into a loft every night. Then use the loft for your pantry, out-of-season clothing, etc. Check out their video. You’ll love it. Also, why not use a DVD/CD/videotape 6′ revolving storage rack for all of your kitchen stuff. It only takes up about 16″ – 2 ft and has FOUR sides of storage. Smiles, AnnieinKC

P.S. Why couldn’t you skip the shower stall and have a small soaker bathtub with a fold-down bed over it, with a fold-down countertop/desk over it?

Great ideas Annie! That desk/bed is great, I love it. Thanks for sharing.

One other comment that I never see talked about… I’m sure there are many others like me who cannot qualify for a mortgage and barely make ends meet on my monthly paycheck. So how does one pay for a tiny house? Most of them sell for $20k – $45k. The people who can most afford them (or get the loans) aren’t the ones who need the financial break that a tiny house brings! LOL! Smiles, AnnieinKC
