Mini-Mobile Cottage Update from Seattle

Jeff & Arlene report on their take on tiny house living from Seattle – and doesn’t that snow look great right about now!

“We get questions like, “are you still living in the tiny house?”, and sometimes from skeptics, “so, uh, how is it, living in there?”Well, we still love it. We built it and it means something to us in addition to being a good place to live.”

Floating Cottage on Norris Lake

It’s a boat, it’s a house, it’s a houseboat… no it’s a floating cottage.

“When Frank Fila, and his wife Kathy Rollow, first purchased their 1972 floating cottage they knew it was small, but thought it was perfect. With pristine views of Norris Lake, the cottage quickly became a favorite weekend destination for family and friends.”

A One-Car Bungalow Garage by Historic Shed

A new design from Historic Shed.

“Most of the people who contact Historic Shed about building an outbuilding have a historic home that they want to complement.  A few have more modern style homes but want something traditional in their backyard. Our most recent project was a cross between the two. The house at the site is new but has Craftsman influences in the design, so we designed the new one-car garage with details that reflect the newly built home.”
