What an amazing whimsical book! Every page is a work of art and I honestly felt like a kid reading a magical tiny home bedtime story. The design of not only the home but the book itself is incredibly detailed and I loved the little anecdotes throughout. As a fellow thrifting lover I also appreciated the list of stores Chloe and Brandon sourced their decor/materials at the books end. 5/5

I love this beautiful keepsake book about a very creative and innovative young couple who created a fantastic, sort of steam punk, tiny house on wheels. The book outlines their construction process with loads of photos, then shows their draw-dropping final product, although the little house is always a work in progress. The inside is organized, but stuffed to the gills with repurposed furniture, lighting, fabric, etc.

Chloe is a photographer who stages photo shoots with vintage and created costumes who has also worked in the movie industry. Brendan is a talented artist, writer and carpenter, who has worked on movie sets. I just purchased the magazine 'In Her Studio" with a lovely feature article on Chloe. This book is a tad expensive, but makes a great gift and is worth every penny,

A marvel of a book. Produced with as much love as the tiny house itself. I really enjoyed both learning about a lot of interesting craft and building ideas as well as Brandon and Chloe's personal story. Just lovely.

An absolutely beautiful book! I highly recommend it! Can I give it 10 stars out of 5? I found this at the library but now I need to go buy a copy because I will want to visit this again and again!
