But after it was finished, they realized they were out of money (building a tiny house can be more expensive than a lot of first-time builders expect). Originally the couple had planned to construct the tiny house to serve as a guest house or an office. But the way that it has been raised up on those rustic timbers and functions as an awning for the porch, it fits right in, to the point where you can totally miss the fact that it is a solar panel at a quick glance. What do I mean by that? Well, normally something as obviously modern as a solar panel would really clash with a rustic homestead like this. There is a lot to love here, but what really grabs me is the solar panel-or what I should say doesn’t grab me.
And let me tell you … it is the very definition of rustic country charm.
This blog is run by Teri, who together with husband Brian, decided to build an off-the-grid tiny house from the ground up. If you are looking for a great all-around resource on homesteading and tiny house design, it is hard to beat the Homestead Honey blog.
