 No words are really needed here- its just another really cool micro-dwelling for you and I to gawk at. I just LOVE the rustic look of this one, and would LOVE to build something just like this one of these days. I can’t remember where I found this one, but if you’re looking for other great places to stare and drool at tiny houses, cabins, shelters, and travel trailers….other than here….

What the Helsinki? Love this one, and while its billed as a “hobbit hut” rental, and well, just isn’t one at all, this is still such a cool little cottage dwelling, located yes, in Helsinki, Finland- a place I’d LOVE to visit someday.
     Here are a few simple photos to show you the exterior, interior, and to perhaps give you design, build, and color scheme ideas, as any eye candy photo posts might.

What I like about this one?
-The lanterns/candles….they’re keeping it simple, its a link from camping to tiny housing
-The few and far between bold furniture items- they haven’t overdone it, but have still managed to make the place look fun and colorful, without looking chaotic and over-the-top gaudy.
-The high-wall storage shelves- a great use of otherwise wasted and unused space- its an above-the-eye storage zone too, so its not as outwardly noticed on first glance and doesn’t clutter the view as larger lower shelves might (which also take up floor space).
-The subtle and relaxing one-tone walls….almost anything goes with that natural/tan-ish hue.

I’ll be posting some more photos here and there of scenes from our “Tiny House Summer Camp”– and here are a few shots of Mariah Coz and her “Comet Camper”, which was part of the tours on our grounds up in Vermont. Basically, Mariah acquired this Avalon classic camper for very little money, and it gutting it to make it her own, AND to take it around the country, eventually, as a traveling classroom for sustainable and off-grid living. You can check out from her at www.cometcamper.wordpress.com

Again- our next Tiny House/Building Workshop will be Nov 2-3 right outside Boston, MA– a 2-3 affair with speakers, campfire discussions, and a collaborative building project. kidcedar at gmail dot com if you’re interested- we’ll have the FULL roster and all details out soon- the price, and so forth….

Mariah and the Comet Camper will be there….
