I am 30 years sober tomorrow and there is no finer way to savor that than walking in a front door to a little teeny tiny building that is warm and cozy and inviting, and that I built with my own hopes, dreams, and hands. Thank you to my friend Deb who never got impatient with my timeline.

Small Living Journal Humble Homes A Rustic Tiny House Made From Reclaimed Materials | Humble Homes Portland, Oregon is probably one of the most progressive cities with regard to the tiny house movement. Its home to Tiny House Hotel, great companies like PAD Tiny Houses, and also this eclectic tiny house that’s currently available for renting through AirBnB. The house looks to be about 12-by-18 foot, and whilst not stated on their AirBnB page, the usable square footage is probably in the range of 300 square feet when you include the loft. The house is a pet project of DIY enthusiasts, Jenny and Michael, who built the home from as many recycled and repurposed elements as possible. The exterior of the house is finished in a mixture of cedar shake shingles and feather edge siding. The interior of the tiny house has been finished with a modern-rustic feel. The second floor of the house contains the sleeping area, accessed by the living room staircase. For more tiny houses check out this boiler room conversion to a cozy tiny house by Christie Azevedo.
