The Big Move

Tammy and Logan are back in California – but now living on a ranch near Mount Shasta.

“On Tuesday, September 4 we moved from Portland, Oregon to the ranch. My sweet husband, Logan, grew up on a cattle ranch in northern California, about twelve miles east of Yreka. The ranch is nestled in a small valley called Little Shasta and it’s one of my favorite places on the planet because it’s so beautiful.

Originally, we had planned on moving to Chico in a few months. However, we’ve always wanted to live in a rural area and this is the perfect time to give it a try.

A Scandinavian Cottage in Portlandia

This isn’t tiny but nice and small, but seems like a very livable size for this small family.

“Portland, Oregon-based interior designer Jessica Helgerson has been living, for the past year, “rather experimentally in a 540-square-foot cottage on five acres of farmland.” She and her family raise chickens, turkeys, bees, and grow their own food.”

Katy’s Vardo

Both Katy and Dee have a lot of tiny house living and building experience and I suspect the homes they build will rival Tumbleweed Tiny Houses in quality but will have a style all of their own.

Tiny House Slumber Party

floating-home-coming-unmooredTammy from RowdyKittens took a trip up to Portland, Oregon to see Stephanie from Coming Unmoored this past week. Tammy got a first hand look at Stephanies tiny floating home on the Columbia River. Tammy will be posting more about her trip with lots of photos in the next few days. I’ve seen a few of the great photos she took in and around Portland and tiny houses she visited already. See the photos on Flickr. For more on the slumber party read this post on RowdyKittens.
