  • This tiny house was originally built to be a canvas-covered bow top wagon but was recently renovated to add insulation in the round walls as well as a metal roof. The woodwork in this home is absolutely stunning, with a custom standing desk, a curved kitchen counter, a sofa that converts to a bed, handmade windows, and an ornate dutch door. It was built by Nick who also created the folding tiny house that we featured a couple of years ago here: • Amazing FOLDING Tiny H...

    Caravans like this can be quite dark inside since it's difficult to have windows in a canvas cover. This is another reason why Nick modified the original home to have solid walls so that he could add dormers for extra light. The house has simple systems: it is heated with an antique wood stove, it's powered with a 110-volt panel, and water comes from a hose that can be hooked up to the kitchen sink on the outside.

    A beautiful little home.
    I live in a small apartment built into a farm shop on my son and daughter in law’s small farm on the Olympic Peninsula and have never been happier. Of course I am spoiled since my son and daughter in law asked for my input when building the shop and apartment. Everything is built with an eye towards an older person, so I have handicapped accessible fixtures and design standards that make my life so much easier.

I know a bit about Feng Shui, not in the compass sense, but in the rounded shapes, no 'poison arrows', it is harmonious to the eye, and it must feel very comfortable always. And the decoration is perfect too.

The conestoga wagon style of this home is so practical, because it is less materials than a traditional style square house. plus more appeasing to the eye. Great job Nick !! One of the BEST tiny homes I have seen so far, and I've seen lots. Thank you so much !

    If Nick had a British accent he might be confused with the young Mick Fleetwood. That would help explain the mystique of traditional caravan construction. Fleetwood Mac had that air of mystic travelers; of sorcery and witchery. Or, maybe that's what Stevie Nicks brought to the band. Anyway, Nick has that Mick look.
