My Tiny House ... it needs a name





Tiny houses are so cute they need names of their own. This is a list of the companies, floorplans, appliances, furniture and furnishings that I plan to incorporate in my tiny house. Definitely a work in progress!

Tumbleweed - RV certified, financing available, and they provide so much information.
Cypress 24 Horizon - I want to plan for the future and not waste my current circumstance so a downstairs bedroom that can be used for storage or as a bedroom for any future kids.
Bay window kitchen
Sealed Cedar Clapboard siding - Cause it's pretty
Side Door - enter into the hallway instead of the main room, kick off your shoes, hang up your coat
Dormers - I'd like the dormers to run the length of the house so I can have 2 full sized lofts
Like this
Flooring - I'm leaning toward chestnut cork flooring, I think I want a darker floor to contrast with the pine tongue and groove walls.
Ceiling fan - to help move the heat out of the lofts
Propane range and oven - I like the off grid potential and love that I could cook during a power outage
Range hood - Essential to help combat the moisture produced while cooking. I really noticed the extra moisture in the summer at the farm.
Apartment sized refrigerator - I think the little bar fridge would be fine for just me but if I'm living with anyone else it would be too small. I need to look for a good propane/electric fridge.
Oak kitchen cabinets - I would paint them white, make the kitchen area brighter and as a contrast to the wood walls and counter
Bathroom
Full shower
Fan - again a warrior in the battle against moisture
Hand sink with mirror
Composting toilet - Choose a urine diverting composting toilet, probably a Nature's Head but Separett has some good options too.
Storage Stairs - I love the new storage stairs option from Tumbleweed, the ease of a staircase in the space of a ladder

Heating Propane - Mini Franklin heats 100-400 sq ft has a remote control and programmable thermostat
Heating Electric - I already have an oil heater so I'll probably keep that and use it in the tiny house.
Air conditioning - I want air conditioning so I can leave Caddie home in the summer, it was too hot in the trailer this year for her to be there during the day
Table - Ikea Norden
Chairs - Dror Pick Chair I love these as dining chairs or for guests and they double as artwork
