Here are some interior shots of the stairs. We decided to build in the stairs so that they could also form storage for the column of space that they took up. From the front the storage is primarily shelves, and the back is just enough space to hand a few coats and space at the bottom for longer items. Additionally we decided to make the … Continue reading Tiny House Stairs

Maybe the knowledge of how to do this will come to me via the universe. We’ll have completed the walls, so I’m sure everything will make sense when we start on these… They’re rather big though … Continue reading Windows!
