Tales of a Not So Tiny House - RIZZOLI
Tales of a Not So Tiny House, Chloe Barcelou.
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 in the
primeval mountains of New Hampshire, you'll stumble across this
300-square-foot handmade home. A bewitching mix of fairy tale cottage,
steamer trunk, and pirate ship, it is built by Chloe and Brandon almost
entirely from their recycled film sets, thrift, flea market, and
junkyard finds. Originally featured on HGTV’s Tiny House, Big Living, it went on to garner international attention in print and online, going viral multiple times.
The
book takes readers on a journey through Chloe and Brandon’s story of
building and decorating their home, which they have completely
redesigned in the last few years. Like the house, every inch of this
richly ornate book is packed with innovative ideas for small space
living, including foldable sections of the house used as “his and hers”
wings with custom-built wardrobes, desks, chairs, and vanity; a bathroom
with a composting toilet and folding sink; even a guest bed. Chloe and
Brandon share the joys of day-to-day small-space living: creating
storage in every nook and cranny, baking pies in the tiny kitchen from
fruit they’ve gathered; climbing into the dramatically curtained bed
loft by candlelight.
Sumptuously designed and illustrated, this book is a wildly original take on small-space living.
