Simple and Practical Tiny Cottage That’s Not Really a Home
It was love at first sight when I laid eyes on this simple and practical tiny cottage by Monika Hibbs. I was surprised to find out that no one lives in this adorable small dwelling. It’s actually a store that looks like a home. The idea is that visitors can see products in living spaces to help them choose items. Regardless, this would be a charming place to call home. Take a look!
Â
Located in Vancouver, Canada, the tiny cottage was crafted from a trailer to serve as a shoppable home. There are so many quaint details throughout, including the front Dutch door painted a powdery blue.Â
Â
A window encased dining nook creates an ideal spot for banquette seating. Gauzy cafe curtains provide privacy while allowing natural light to flow into the tiny cottage.Â
Â
White and gold is the color palette throughout the kitchen and dining area. The table is set with items that can be purchased from Monika’s online store.
Â
The kitchen features Shaker cabinets and open shelving, along with a pretty farmhouse sink and gooseneck faucet.Â
Â
From this angle you can see the round window in the peak of the dining area. The gold hardware and custom cabinetry lend elegance and charm while a windowpane rug provides texture underfoot.
Â
The vaulted white ceiling throughout the trailer creates the illusion of space. This little cottage on wheels feels larger than most tiny houses.
Â
A pale gray-blue runner is painted on the simple staircase leading to the loft area. Beneath the loft is enough room for a small sofa and television.
Â
When you’re dealing with limited square footage, you need to make the most of every inch. Shelves were added under the staircase for additional storage.Â
Â
Simple blue and white artwork adds interest in color.
Â
The cozy loft provides comfort while catching a few winks. A row of windows lets in natural light while a sconce lamp can be turned on for bedside reading at night.
Â
I hope you enjoyed taking a peek at this adorable tiny cottage by Monika Hibbs. Too bad it’s not available to rent for an overnight stay!

I agree. Too bad it’s not for rent. Beautiful and cozy.
Love this small cozy and prettily decorated house/store. Just shows what can be done even in a small space.
Really cute! But I didn’t notice a bathroom??? How’s the trip going? Bet the cherry blossoms are gorgeous!
Love it. I’m ready to move in.đŸ¥°
