Fitting four kids in a tiny house pretty much ensures we need bunk beds, but I’ve never been a big fan of the rather frumpy designs available. I’ve also been thinking about having the beds built into the home in order to save more space. With single beds there are more options, like murphy beds that can be put away during the day so the kids have more space to play, without being too cumbersome to actually use. I don’t think I would actually use a queen sized murphy, so I’m not considering it, although they are perfect for small home designs.

The Lollipop bunk beds by Bonbon in the UK are exactly what I’ve been thinking about for the kids rooms. At just 31 cm deep (someone else can do the math to transform that to inches) it’s the perfect size, I love the modern clean lines, the storage at the top, and the ladders for the top bunk that are designed just for the bed. They can also be painted for a personalized touch which is wonderful for kids.

As I’m staring out my window where the world is currently covered in melting ice and snow, I’m already dreaming of another summer on the patio. Outdoor rooms have been gaining popularity, and I think they are the perfect addition to a tiny house, especially if you live in the south. For now I’ll dream about warm weather and decorating a huge patio.

The Dodaz Outdoor Sofa is made with rust and corrosion proof aluminum with weatherproof Outdura™ fabric. It’s available in lots of colors but I kind of like the blue, it reminds me of the ocean even though we are nowhere near the coast. I also love that two people can lie next to each other, perfect for reading or gazing into your special someone’s eyes on a warm afternoon.

The beautiful thing about a tiny house is that you aren’t bound on the outside, so you can add all the little nooks you want inside like a reading space or even an outdoor fireplace, without taking up square footage.
