Amanda has done it again — she’s gone and interviewed another influential figure in the “Small House Movement.” She visited Tumbleweed Tiny House designer Jay Shafer in his own tiny home in Sebastopol and took some great photos. You can read the full article here.

Hi there,
I just stumbled onto your blog through Twitter and absolutely love it! You’ve got a ton of great articles up here. I spend a good deal of time writing about micro home living and green building on my own blog, and am definitely going to be linking back here for my readers.
I’ve longed dreamed of attending one of Jay’s workshops. My husband and I are planning a shipping container home in the next year or two, and think Jay would really help eliminate the “where do we start?” stage we’re in right now! We’ve made progress, but it’s just so hard to anticipate what things will cost (labor, materials) and what we’ll need in the future.
Thanks so much for putting out this great information.
Isn’t it great to stumble upon someone who is so like-minded? Thanks for the link and I’ve added you to my list too! I think Jay’s workshop would be a great start for your shipping container project. Keep in touch!
hi I wish you could build me a tiny house I need some place to run away to sometimes LOL.
I love your ideas!
Out of necessity (disabled law enforcement), I have my own version of a ‘tiny’ house, which I refer to as my “cabin”. It’s 32′ long and 12′ wide (outside of eave to outside of eave – 10′ wide inside) with 4′ of the length being a front porch. There are 2 ‘lofts’, one in the front is over the porch and extends into the living area and the 2nd is at the rear, over the bath, utility and kitchen areas. It is heated by a wood stove and the much needed a/c is just a medium window unit (Georgia summers make the heat unbearable!) I’m always looking for ways to maximize storage in such small spaces and found this article…wonderful article/ideas!
