Beautiful Wagon Style Tiny House Built with Reclaimed Materials

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.

Love this one above all other tiny homes i have seen. Would love one of his builds. So simple and in tune with nature.

How much would one like this run?

I was wondering if I could have your guys' help with something.? It has something to do with me trying to make my mother's dreams come true (:

Omg this guy is the best, so talented and calm and also the sign that says "beware of dog kisses" ADORABLE.

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.

[@Nice-qi5cf]

Loved to see it

[@InnaVitamina777]

That's wonderful. You are lucky Brian.

[@BabyDrePhotography]

So gorgeous! Just needs a bathroom and it would be perfect.

[@timafiggy]

the bathroom is probably in the back outside of that shed . he may have an outdoor shower too.

[@jeroberts7228]

Wow. That little home just oozes beauty, charm, and superb craftsmanship! Love it! i really enjoyed the tour, in fact, I think I'm gonna watch it again - once just wasn't enough. Nick is a true master of his craft!

[@Jillysmom63]

Did you notice it has no bathroom? So if he sells them I want to know who’s buying them to actually live in if they have no toilet at least? Lol seriously! It’s really cute and all but everyone needs to go to the bathroom.

When Nick said "I just grew up building forts as a kid", I knew this was going to be good. The round wagon vibe is what I dream about. The shape of the door, paired with the window, wow that is sweet. This is probably the best tiny space I've ever seen. Simply beautiful craftsmanship. Great tour - thanks for sharing you guys !

So interesting and "" awe inspiring "" ! I've never seen anyone add a porch like yours over the tongue of the trailer with a hinge that flips it up, when in the traveling mode. 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 !

[@josedacunhafilho]

Few "tiny houses" are as enchanting, and as perfect as this one. Few "tiny houses" I feel I could actually live in, but not this one. 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.
