I'll just flat out say that my sister is crunchy. She'd live in the woods and eat seeds for the rest of her life if my parents would let her. She visited home last week and shared her new idea with my family: a tiny house. My sister wants to live in a tiny house. At first I was like, What even is that? But I did some Googling about this weird new, tiny house movement that I guess exists, and I was extremely surprised.
1. For those of us who don't have Queen Elsa's badass powers, this tiny ski lodge home is a quaint substitute. You can ski straight out your front door and sit on your mini porch to watch the snow fall all year-round.
2. Or you can invest in an adorable beach-side home like this one and pray that the flood gods will spare you.
3. With this mountainside home you can grow your own mini garden on the roof! And if you're like I am, and want to be as far away from other people as possible, this tiny home isn't just luxurious, it's necessary.
My sister's idea, however, was to build a mobile tiny home, which is even cooler and cheaper, costing around $30,000 to build.
4. With the freedom to park it literally anywhere, this tiny house is basically like having a vacation home attached to your car. Most people use solar panels on the roof for energy and catch rainwater to use in their house for showers and sinks.
5. Some even have back porches for you to lounge on and people-watch from when you're feeling trapped in your tiny house.
6. But then again, who would feel trapped with an interior like this?
7. Or this??? (Who knew Apple makes a TV?)
8. If you want something a little weirder you can even live in this mobile egg!
9. Or maybe a floating egg is more your taste? The possibilities for tiny houses are endless!
10. I'm sold. Look out for me on the highway, driving towards retirement in Florida with my tiny hot tub.
