This Converted Sprinter Van is a Surprisingly Livable Tiny House on Wheels
This 2008 Dodge Sprinter is like the TARDIS from Doctor Who and the tents from Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire; it's unassuming on the outside, but surprisingly livable and functional inside.

I can tell it's almost Valentine's day since Costco just put out the Halloween decorations. Speaking of Costco, its minimum wage is now $14 per hour.

This Tiny House Has a Genius Solve for Hacking More Kitchen Space
Tiny houses and other super compact homes don't just provide style inspiration; they should be mined for their smart small space living solutions, too. For example, I found ideas in the tidy Airstream home known as the Tin Can Homestead. Plenty of organizing lessons can be discovered in this incredibly livable 160-square-foot tiny house. And most recently, I came across a genius solve from a tiny house in Hawaii.
