    The Hipster House: Tiny Victorian Resurrected (Part 2)

    October 31, 2018 /

    It was an ugly, tiny house. The exterior was all wrong. The hovel was awkward and confined even for 900 sq feet. Everywhere was damp, musty, and dark. The kitchen was located just inside the front door and the bathroom was well, hideous. Unfortunately this tiny house’s issues went beyond the cosmetic.
