Comparing the Tiny Green House's "Denali" and the 24' Tumbleweed Tiny Houses, I find myself preferring the Tumbleweed aesthetics very much over the Denali's almost non-existent aesthetic, but preferring the Tiny Green House building techniques and suitability to a fire-prone area very much over the Tumbleweed construction.
How can I combine them? Can I buy the Tumbleweed plans and have Tiny Green build it for me, then get involved by doing some of the interior finish work?
Jay Shafer, founder of Tumbleweed and designer of my favorite tiny homes from an aesthetic point of view, has left Tumbleweed and moved on to found Four Lights with some new tiny homes, all very pretty. But Tumbleweed still has the more practical designs on wheels.
Credit Jay Shafer and Four Lights with some pretty brilliant designs for DIY compact furniture, though! Tansu-style storage steps providing storage in a staircase would be ideal! While Jay/Four Lights shows one, I prefer the side-opening storage shown elsewhere. See http://www.homedesignfind.com/furniture-2/tansu-chests-practical-storage-stairs-from-ancient-japan/, especially the first model, with side-opening cupboards and drawers.
LATER:
Pat and Che have just shown me some very tempting Fleetwood models for significantly larger but still trailer-able Fleetwood homes that would be much simpler and cheaper to get. WHAT SHALL I DO? Cheaper and simpler calls to me! They've also set me up with their fellow agent Steve Marquette to meet tomorrow at 11 AM and go over what I'm looking for in Julian.
I'm worried that I'm moving too soon, too fast all of a sudden. Am I out of control?
