      This gallery of photos features real people and real tiny houses. You can read it word-for-word now, before you get into the meat of the book, or you can skip it and come back to it later, or you can skim it and flip back to it as you read about the ideas and concepts that are shown in the photos. No one’s tiny house is perfect for another person, but by seeing what others have done with limited space, you’ll be inspired to figure out what your tiny life will look like.

      The bedroom area in the Lookout by Tiny House Chattanooga has its own dedicated skylight and breathing space on both sides of the bed—something to appreciate!

      The Bluestem from Switchgrass Tiny Homes can fit quite a few people comfortably. Surfaces hide storage space, and utilities, like the mini split unit at top left, are out of the way when possible.

      A school bus conversion like Luke and Rachel’s (see caption below) combines the relatively large amount of space of an entire bus with the mobility of a classic tiny house.

      Facing the front of the house, you can see a creative vertical shoe rack and a small extra bedroom area—no space is wasted!

      There is even space for proper utilities, like a mini fridge, stove, and oven, in this tiny home with a big heart.

      Thoughtful touches in a consistent color scheme make the interior of this home feel cohesive, and smartly placed hooks ensure there is a space for everything, like the cutting board hanging on the wall.
