This Tiny Canadian Houseboat is a Solar-Powered, Off-Grid Craftsman Dream

Le Koroc is a floating paradise designed for enjoying summer lake life in Canada with minimal impact on the environment—handcrafted from the ground up (or pontoon base up, anyway) to help its owner “explore nature differently” with a solar-powered, off-grid vessel that’s half fishing boat and half luxury tiny house. Crafted entirely by hand by a Canadian woodworker on a pontoon base, this is a tiny home for the lake-lover in all of us.

One Simple Way to Reduce Visual Clutter All Over Your Space

You may have only heard of decanting when it comes to wine, but this technique is a game-changer for organizing your home.
