June 2016 Update: The design I am building has changed once again and will be entirely different from the one pictured here. I’m keeping the new design under wraps for now–hopefully you will enjoy seeing it revealed as it is built! Ok, so let me be honest: the loft in my tiny house has always been a bit of an afterthought. In fact, my design in its original form bypassed the loft altogether.… View More
