Victorian Tiny Texas House
A couple of days ago, I was chatting with Brad Kittel of Tiny Texas Houses and he sent me some new pictures of one of his recent homes, this cute little Victorian.
The wooden Victorian is a 12′ x 20′ and it is located in Canyon Lake, Texas. It is lined with 1800 circa metal roofing tiles in the bath area. It also has their new ladder design and a nice rounded loft front.
Brad also told me that he has been busy building and selling homes for several Bed and Breakfasts across the country. A recent one up in the Badlands of South Dakota and three more for another in Pasadena, California. I will follow up with an update on these before long.

Tanner another one of our readers sent me this link to this article in the Austin News about Kittel and his tiny houses. You can read the article called the “Small House Movement hits Central Texas” and watch a neat little video along with the story. Thanks Tanner for sharing this story with us.

This is really nice! I love that it has a bathtub. Where do you find a tub like that to put into a tiny house?
This is brilliant. I especially like the ladder/shelves. Love the tub area too. Great use of space.
Anoa
The Tiny Texas Houses are my absolute favorite. His were among the first tiny houses, after Jay’s, that I found and fell immediately in love with. I love everything that Brad Kittel does with salvaged materials ~ the workmanship, designs, the gorgeous wood, ~ EVERYTHING is Beautiful!
Oh, what an inspiration! I would LOVE to have a group of assorted tiny houses to operate as a B&B. This is my new dream!
Wow, I love it.
I love that shower tub! You could even sit down (always a plus) without much difficulty. Would make it easier to shave the legs too. And if you want a bath, just lay your legs over the side.
Very nice.
I am also curious about that bathtub! Where did they find it?
I’ll see if I can find out from Brad where the tub came from. I’ll let you know if I learn anything.
The whole house is just beautiful.
This is a wonderfully luxurious home! The bathing area details are inspiring. Are those copper panels on the walls? If so, how do you keep them clean?
The shower tiles are not copper. They were once on the roof of a house and I think they are tin or some steel product. They are easy to keep clean. You just have to be careful of the edges when cleaning them.
no vehicle in sight, garage or driveway – very nice
Here is what Brad says about the bathtub:
Generally they will be found in the architectural salvage yards but they are hard to find. That version would run about $750-$1,000. We get them on occasion but historically have not kept many in inventory. It appears we should be looking for more.
Thanks for sharing the info about the shower tub Kent!
Omega Salvage here in Berkeley sometimes has these tiny tubs. They have an online service. They also have a limited number of repro tubs-may include a tiny or two.
Excellent. I might go a little larger (I need space for a computer workstation and lots of books), but the proportioning is flawless. A wonderful design!
This is my favorite design in quite some time. And right here in Texas! Thanks for sharing this, Grizz!
Lovely and inspiring!
That is really nice. They usually build nice, cute, cozy small houses. I like them much better than the ones built with modern materials. I hope one day I’ll be able to buy old things from them, they have wonderful things.
This is gorgeous. It seems so much more realistic space wise than does some of the others. I love it.
Amazing!
So much beauty, warmth, and luxury in just 240 sq feet!!
Most large homes don’t even come close…thank you very much for sharing. Just seeing what can be done makes me very happy <3
That balcony next to the loft ladder needs some structural support underneath, or be hung from the ceiling above using cables.

Love the laddershelves…maybe an idea for my cottage which has a sleeping loft but I hadn’t figured out how I was going to get up there…the ladder shelf provides a stable (thus safe!) way to get up and also a reason to have it built in permanently!
