The Simple Life Bungalow

Today is a milestone for the Tiny House Blog. This is the 500th post for the blog. I want to thank everyone for your support and loyalty to the Tiny House Blog.

As the Tiny House blog grows and matures, I am looking for more ways to make your visit worth your time. One way of doing this is by adding quality tiny house plans to the Plans Page.

Today I am adding another plan called the Simple Life Bungalow, designed by Architect Steve Williams for his sister Joejoh. Steve is offering a $25 discount to anyone who buys the plans through the Tiny House Blog. In order to claim your discount once you purchase the plans you need to email Steve at info@welovesmall.com and type in the message “Tiny House Blog” Steve will than send you a check through the mail.

Simple Life Bungalow

Here is the Simple Life Bungalow Philosophy:

Times have changed. Small is not only becoming necessary, but also sensible, beautiful and liberating. The concept of The Simple Life Bungalow isn’t for everyone but it can be for:

  • People of age wishing to have an independent life in a home of their own that can be built so cost effectively, that a mortgage won’t be needed
  • Young single people who wish to do other things with their money than feed a mortgage
  • People desiring a guest house or “Mother-In-Law” quarters on their property
  • Families wanting a small and highly desirable rental property
  • Those in need of a weekend retreat

The Simple Life Bungalow is a beautiful option because it is small, elegant and contains everything a person needs for a complete life. Because of its size it is affordable, extremely energy efficient and relatively easy to build. The classic Craftsman style is the ultimate in comfort and livability. The Simple Life Bungalow’s size makes it possible to utilize the highest grade of building materials for low maintenance responsibilities and pride of ownership.

Life can be beautiful with a minimum of possessions… Sufficient clothing, a desk for communicating, a good book and a warm fire… These are the things of real value.

    This looks like a great concept, but I think before they start selling plans, they should have one built with photos on their website.

      Hi Chris,

      I agree it is a good idea to have actual photos of a completed home. I know that they are in the process of finding a location to build the house and will put up photos when they have completed it…Kent

    Congrats on the many posts!

  3. Vanessa says:

    Congratulations Ken! And here’s to 500 more!

  4. Rick Roberts says:

    Love this little house, but I, too, would like to see photos. I think I would add a back door to mine.

  5. Christina says:

    Congratulations on the 500th post Kent! I really love this design and I’m also excited to see a finished house…and a budget breakdown. :-)

  6. Bonnie says:

    Books, books, books! A house plan with bookcases! That’s all you need, really.

    Plus a back door.

  7. MJ says:

    Congratulations! You’ve filled a niche on the web that was sorely needed!

  8. PJ says:

    Congratulations! Having just discovered this blog I can only say that what I’ve found so far is simply delicious. Far and away one of my favorites.

  9. Benjamin says:

    The wall-mounted porchlight looks awfully low. Is that an error?

  10. Gerard says:

    Everything looks great except for, as Chris noted, the lack of photos. Why would they be offering up these plans at such high cost without having a single completed “model” to place pictures on the website? If one has never been built, and they haven’t one built as of yet – aren’t they jumping the gun?

    Great site! I love your blog and for me, it’s SO inspirational. Thanks again!

  11. April Kersey says:

    I love this house! This is the most gorgeous one yet! If they want to build their model in the Davis Mountains, I’ll hurry up and buy some land there for them to put it on!

  12. Little House says:

    This little house looks beautiful from the artist’s rendering. As other people mentioned, actual photos would increase the sale of the floor plans.

    thanks for sharing this plan and congratulations on your 500th post!

  13. Ken,

    Congratulations on the 500th post. Thanks for the great site with the right balance of ideas, plans, feedback, and inspiration. I think I would break out in hives if I didn’t get my daily dose of tinyhouseblog. Well not really but I am sure that some negative affect would occur.
