Urban Cabin: Tumbleweed Tiny House Company

My friend sent me a link to the Tumbleweed Tiny House Company years ago and I'm so glad it's still around.  I mean, look how amazing this is:



It's a whole house!  Even if you had a tiny city lot, you could still have so much yard to plant things in!  I love how the houses come in two sizes: tiny and small.

Tiny.




Small.



The interiors are beautiful, and they are affordable.  You could even build it yourself!  And what more do you need than this little place?  Little storage = less stuff  = simplicity.  I would love to see more of these in urban areas!

Urban Cabin: First Sighting

The first time I ever saw an urban cabin was in Seattle's Fremont neighborhood in December 2009. That was when I knew they existed.

Here is a photo from GSV:



This is how truly cabin-y it is. You can't even see it. But I remember peeking in through the little gate and it had a wide open porch and nice little yard. Like they woke up every morning in the woods, and then walked to work in the city. Brilliant.
