“it’s a small world. tiny houses, minimalism, and a less-is-more attitude are everywhere today. after years of a ‘bigger is better’ mentality towards homes, people are realizing that extra square footage does not equal greater happiness.”
– laura fenton – from the little book of living small
the unconventional solution
saving for a home is hard. expensive homes, expensive rent… it’s difficult to put funds aside for a place to call your own.
after living in several rentals and becoming increasingly eager to save for a forever home, our solution came in the form of a 396 square foot park model trailer found on craigslist.
once in place on some family owned land we updated the inside of the unit, fixed up the exterior and added a job site trailer which we converted to a separate home office.
when on the road, our home away from home is a self-converted camper van.

we were fortunate to be featured in an amazing book – the little book of living small by laura fenton | photography by weston wells
“the little book of living small offers practical, everyday advice for managing a tight footprint. it features twelve case study homes in which style-savvy, small-space dwellers (from singles to families of four) open their doors and share their design secrets. highly engaging with lists, tips, and actionable advice, the little book of living small is one that you will refer back to again and again.”
