VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
Welcome to the inspiring journey of Stephen Proctor as he takes you on a tour of his minimalist tiny home, "Rivendell," a peaceful retreat in the heart of nature. If you’ve ever wondered how to create a cozy and functional tiny house, this video is perfect for you. Whether you're a seasoned tiny home enthusiast or just starting your tiny living journey, you'll find plenty of ideas and inspiration for your own project.
Stephens's goal was to design a space that is both aesthetically pleasing and functional. He emphasizes that living small is not just about downsizing but also about intentional design and reconnecting with nature. In this video, you'll see how he carefully crafted his space to include a minimalist kitchen, complete with a farmhouse sink and induction stove, and his favorite feature-a live-edge wood coffee bar.
With a lofted bedroom designed to maximize space, creative open shelving, and a completely black, spa-like bathroom, Stephen proves that bigger isn’t always better. You’ll also see his DIY projects, like a custom-built composting toilet, and learn how he added personal touches to each room. His home is filled with unique details, like a projector system for cozy movie nights and shelves filled with sentimental items, making it a space that truly reflects his personality.
Living in a tiny home isn’t just about aesthetics, and Stephen talks about the challenges and joys of living in a smaller space. He shares how his love for nature and a minimalist lifestyle influenced his decision to build his home, and why it's so important to stay connected to the natural world.
For those looking to build their own tiny house, Stephen provides helpful tips on construction costs, finding affordable land, and the importance of blending form and function in every design decision. He even shares how he balanced building a home that’s both family-friendly and deeply personal.

Tiny Home Tours, THANK YOU!! I had a blast working with you guys, especially Brian. And to everyone else, thanks for all of your wonderful & kind comments. It's an honor to give you a glimpse of my home, "Rivendell." I hope it inspires you as you curate your own space to reflect your story and as you dream about how to be intentional & creative with your home, especially when given a lot of limitations. For those wondering why I named my place Rivendell, here's one of my favorite quotes from The Lord of the Rings, which describes Imladris / Rivendell. It casts a great vision for what a warm & welcoming home can be all about:
“Frodo was now safe in the Last Homely House east of the Sea. That house was, as Bilbo had long ago reported, ‘a perfect house, whether you like food or sleep, or story-telling or singing, or just sitting and thinking best, or a pleasant mixture of them all.’ Merely to be there was a cure for weariness, fear and sadness.”
~ J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring (The Lord of the Rings)
Thank you again, everyone!
Peace be with you,
Stephen

Gorgeous home and the land is so beautiful ❤
Interesting guy, and absolutely wonderful, intentional home ❤
I could listen to him reading the phone book.
Nice setup and design. Wonderful space and location. I fell in love with the PNW many years ago and actually moved to Seattle back in 2001. Sometimes I feel I should have stayed but all my family is here on the east coast. I loved all the rain forests and how lush and green everything was / is. All the best to you and your wonderful place … thanks so much for sharing. I will definitely steal some of your designs and ideas for my small home in the woods. Thanks again!
