A Vintage Tumbleweed XS Tiny House- Tour it!

60 square foot tiny house slowly gets a make-over. This house has a tiny loft, bathroom (wet bath (shower and toilet), and a wood stove (removed in this photo).

     As I slowly begin renovating and changing up a tiny, tiny, tiny house (an altered Tumbleweed model called the "XS"- Extra Small) that I recently acquired (so that it can be toured by attendees of my July 25th-26th- Hands-on Tiny House Building/Design/Maker workshop in Stoughton, MA), I'll be posting photos here and there. This house was built by a friend of mine, Chris Haynes. We might have an open-open house down the road too- stay tuned!

(To sign up for the workshop- CLICK HERE- info is half way down the post you'll be sent to)  We also have a Vermont workshop- camping, LOTS of building and design, LIVE MUSIC, Guest speakers by bon fire, live demos, tiny house tours, a sawmill trip, and more! Click on the banner at the top of this site/page if interested.

Two neighborhood kids get a tour of the XS as it arrives....

XS Update #1 was to simply add some cushions and color to the room. Previously, the house, upon-arrival had a bare plywood couch/bed, and this left the room feeling unfinished, and not as inviting- so.... toss in a few vibrant cushions, and a bird pillow or two, and a little knick-knack here and there, and it does seems to make a decent difference.



Also, the solar light you see (they work GREAT!) is called a "Luci"- I've bought a few of these now, and they're fantastic. We use 'em camping all the time and the give off a lot of light. I got mine on Amazon. About $14 or so- WELL WORTH IT! They're from a company called "MPOWERD".


Here's a link to check 'em out....
