30 fantastic tiny homes built with recycled materials

You won’t believe what this tiny house used to be prior to renovation. The adventurer will love living in these old caboose train cars that have 330 square feet of living space.

B & B Micro Manufacturing has created a tiny house that is closer to a high-end RV than a tiny home. This model, “The Arcadia” includes three skylights and a reclaimed barn wood ceiling.

Tiny house enthusiasts often turn to old school buses to construct their abode, like this one. Once inside it hardly looks like a school bus with wood floors, a wood stove and a great looking wood table. You can’t go wrong using recycled house items even if you’re in an old bus.

We love the industrial-chic feel of these container homes from Container Building Group in Australia. They’ve come up with some genius space-saving tricks, especially in the fold-down beds and generous storage.

This DIY tiny home combines new with old by using old wood from semi-truck trailers and galvanised steel from a 50-year-old barn. The result is a cosy, country feel.

Take your show on the road with this school bus conversion that sleeps up to five people. We love the bright white interiors, ample light from those old bus windows, and the cosy raised beds tucked behind curtains.

This beautiful Texan home features board and batten reclaimed from an 1830s whiskey refinery. Inside, reclaimed wood from farmhouses makes up the floor, and beadboard from a church went into the ceiling.
