A Backyard Barn House

I found a very interesting backyard house on treehugger.com. It is built with copper roofing and recycled barn board. The inspiration came from Bernard Maybeck's Sample house, now known as the Mistake House in June of 1931. Maybeck created the sample house as a test of building and design.

The place is tiny, but very comfortable and can be used year round since it has a cute little fireplace to keep warm! They did a great job decorating and furnishing the house since they had such a small amount of space to work with. Who wouldn't want to cozy up with some hot chocolate in this backyard house on a cold day??
