Man transforms a salvaged trailer into an elegant tiny home and sells for $36,000 on Craigslist

<a href="http://www.treehugger.com/tiny-houses/200-sq-ft-tiny-house-ashland-oregon-ron-rusnak.html">It’s amazing what can be done in a small space</a> and Ron Rusnak of Ashland, Oregon exemplifies that well in this trailer turned tiny home. Rusnak took an old trailer, gutted it and used it as the structure for an <a href="http://inhabitat.com/this-guy-built-his-own-tiny-home-for-less-than-500-using-salvaged-materials/">elegant tiny home</a>. Even though this <a href="http://inhabitat.com/worlds-tiniest-tiny-home-constructed-in-tucson-az/">tiny trailer home</a> will be used as a guest cabin, he thinks tiny homes could fill a growing need for affordable housing.

Rusnak netted $36,500 for the unique structure via a Craigslist ad just three weeks after he completed the renovation.

It’s hard to imagine that this 200-square-foot <a href="http://inhabitat.com/donate-now-to-help-project-h-students-built-tiny-homes-to-help-their-community/">tiny home</a> was once a trailer, but having the trailer infrastructure in place made it easier to add appliances and other items inside. The kitchen itself has 24-inch cabinets and a small range with oven, so those who like to cook can still do so. The kitchen sink has a pull-down faucet to help maneuver around larger dishes and pans.

There’s built-in storage in the living room, a sleeping loft with ladder, and a small stove, sink and kitchen space.

Clean, classic styling and sleek features make it easy to move around in this <a href="http://inhabitat.com/two-college-students-build-a-tiny-home-for-under-500/">tiny home</a>.

The shower is 32 inches, a good size for almost any person and the bathroom sink has a window, keeping it from feeling like an RV. 

Fully insulated, with lots of natural light, Rusnak has made this trailer a true home.

Rusnak’s design comes complete with a removable cedar deck, which the tiny home's new owners are surely enjoying.
