Tales of a Not So Tiny House

Visually lush, this is the story of the lavish custom steampunk caravan in the wilds of New England that became a dark cottagecore TikTok sensation.

---

If you take a fortuitous wrong turn somewhere near the New Hampshire coast, you'll stumble across this 400-square-foot home. Equal parts gypsy caravan and pirate ship, it is almost entirely built by Brandon and Chloe from old film/photography sets, thrift and junkyard finds. Since its conception, the home has garnered an incredible amount of attention online, on TV, and in countless publications, and very recently became the darling of cottage-core TikTok , amassing millions of views and thousands of followers, as well as mentions in Teen Vogue, Architectural Digest, and Business Insider. The Not So Tiny House takes readers on a deep dive through Chloe and Brandon's story of building and decorating their home. Like the house, which is sometimes compared to Howl s Moving Castle, every inch of the book is packed with innovative ideas for small space living, including foldable sections of the house used as respective his and hers wings with custom wardrobes, desks, chairs, and vanity. The bathroom has a custom composting toilet, folding sink, and vanity area. The upper ledge and main loft projects feature shelving, the ceiling lattice, and library ladder. There is also a loft guest-bed/sofa, in addition to the primary loft bed area: bed frame, linens, privacy curtains, shelving, and beside sconces. The tiny rooms are enhanced by lifestyle photos of Chloe and Brandon living in and enjoying their house and their beautiful natural surroundings. Readers travel with them on blueberry and apple picking excursions, and later pie-making; delicious meals prepared in the little kitchen; holiday decorating for Christmas, including a full-size tree. Sumptuously designed and illustrated, this book is a wildly original take on small space living.
