This tiny home proves that sophistication isn’t dependent on size. Take a look for yourself


The idea of bigger is always better is falling by the wayside, and nothing proves that quite like tiny houses.

While large homes and mansions are still something many people dream of owning, tiny houses are growing in demand. Companies like Tiny in a Box prove that you don’t have to give up luxury or style to take advantage of these affordable, extremely compact homes.

This tiny home, known as the West End Model, sells for just $60,000, a fraction of the cost of a full-sized home. It isn’t hard to see why mini-homes are appealing from a financial perspective, especially considering the high-end materials found within.

In addition to packing in the amenities and spaces that people expect from any home, Tiny in a Box chooses the materials carefully to minimize the impact on the environment.

According to the description of the West End Model:

“The interior consists of recycled, sustainable, and organic materials.”

Even though the home is only several hundred square feet, there is still more than enough room for a full-service bathroom, a spacious bedroom, a large living space, a kitchen, and huge windows to let in plenty of light and make the house feel larger.

As you look at each of the rooms, you will see just how much attention to detail was put into creating a space that feels high-end yet homey – all with limited square footage.

The floorplan gives you a good idea of how the entire space fits together as a cohesive whole, something to keep in mind as you examine each individual room.

The living room may have limited space, but it certainly doesn’t feel like it. Clever use of shelves provides all the storage you could need, and there is even room for a large-screen television. With a full three-section sofa across from the TV and enough floor space for more than one person to do yoga, the living room is anything but cramped.

Look more closely at the kitchen, and you will notice that in addition to space for a reasonably sized fridge, there is enough counter room for the sink, burners, and appliances, in addition to a prep area!

Factor in all the clever cabinets and drawers, and whoever chooses to live in this tiny home will be able to store everything they truly need. There is even room for a table and two chairs without it feeling squeezed into place.

The bedroom is another highlight of this home from Tiny in a Box. It easily fits a queen-size bed, a wardrobe large enough to store two people’s clothing (if they don’t have an excessive amount), and a chair plus some accessories.

However, the room that will impress most people is the bathroom. You won’t have to squeeze into the shower or fight to use the sink. The sink basin is almost wide enough to share, and the sleek bathroom design appears modern with plenty of cabinet space.

One of the most appealing parts of this tiny home is the ability to extend your space with the outside patio. You can easily host guests on the front deck, which has space for a table and chairs on one end and a pair of armchairs on the other without impeding the flow of the space.

This particular model is just a sampling of what we can now get from tiny homes.

Tiny in a Box has a range of basic models, all of which are customizable.

You can attach a covered deck to your tiny home before throwing in some amazing landscaping. Or opt for a design that includes wide-opening French doors along an entire side of the home to truly make it feel open.

If more people were to embrace these tiny homes, just imagine the drop in housing prices there could be. And because these houses are small enough to put almost anywhere, you only need a small plot of land to build one.

Prosecutor says two attackers stabbed NMSU student to death | Lubbock Online

ALBUQUERQUE {AP} Crime scene evidence suggests New Mexico State University student Carly Martinez struggled with two men before she was murdered, prosecutors told jurors at the trial of Jason Desnoyers. The 18-year-old student was driven to a remote Las Cruces mesa , was stabbed more than a dozen times in the head, chest, abdomen, back, thighs and buttocks, and her body was "left to rot" in the desert, District Attorney Susana Martinez said Tuesday. Two weapons were used, a single-edged knife and another instrument, said prosecutor Martinez , no relation to the victim. "Two weapons, two men," she said. Desnoyers, 24, is charged with first-degree murder, conspiracy, tampering with evidence and criminal solicitation. Co- defendant Jesse Avalos , 26, is to be tried separately in September on similar charges. Defense attorney Gary Mitchell contends there was only one weapon. He said Avalos wore a belt with a knife, screwdriver and other tools the night Carly Martin

Stay in a Tiny Shingled Cabin in Austria That Resembles a Bird-Like UFO

Set on a hilly incline and designed by architects Peter and Lukas Jungmann, the cabin appears to hover above ground like some sort of alien object—a stark contrast to its pastoral environment and the traditional Austrian chalets that surround it.  Tiny Shingled Cabin in Austria That Resembles a Bird-Like UFO - Photo 1 of 11 -" /> Because of its irregular, otherworldly form, and how it seems to be suspended in midair, the cabin was named "Ufogel," which is a melding of the acronym UFO and "vogel," meaning bird in German.  Tiny Shingled Cabin in Austria That Resembles a Bird-Like UFO - Photo 2 of 11 -" /> Available for rent through Urlaubsarchitektur, Ufogel’s exterior is covered in rustic Austrian-style shingles, but its sharp angles and asymmetrical shape gives it a distinctly futuristic, nest-like look.  Tiny Shingled Cabin in Austria That Resembles a Bird-Like UFO - Photo 3 of 11 -" /> Within, the split-level, 485-square- foot space acc
