This Modern Villa-inspired Tiny House Has a Rooftop Terrace, Natural Light, and Solar Panels for Under $10K
As a frequent flier, it feels like a waste of money paying for monthly rent when I spend most months traveling and not in my apartment. Amazon has a selection of tiny houses, including ranch styles and farmhouse-inspired designs, that are larger than my New York City apartment, cost a fraction of my annual rent, and have enough space to fit my entire luggage collection and wardrobe.
While scrolling through Amazon's Tiny House Kits store, I found a luxurious villa-inspired tiny home that's less than $10,000. It has modern touches, like clean lines and floor-to-ceiling windows to drench the space in natural light. You can also customize the space, including changing the number of bedrooms, total square feet, and adding outdoor space.
Everything about the tiny house was designed with convenience in mind. Electrical outlets are included, and the kitchen and bathroom come with pre-installed plumbing, a toilet, sink, and shower for no additional cost, saving you time and money.
What's most notable about the tiny house is how the manufacturer, ZHong Machinery, lets you be the designer. You can completely customize the layout by adding square footage (up to 800 square feet) and increasing the number of bedrooms. This allows you to have an office, at-home gym, or guest room if you want.
Hosts will love the option to add a rooftop deck for lounging under the sun or having a summer barbecue with friends. These extras come at a cost, but it's a one-time payment that's still cheaper than paying a contractor to renovate or build a traditional home from scratch.
If you want to cut down your energy and water bill, you can install solar panels and a rainwater harvesting system for an extra fee, according to a brand representative from ZHong Machinery. Since both will need to be installed by you, you can put them up exactly where you want them. Plus, the brand representative added that the solar panels can rotate, ensuring they receive optimal sunlight during the day.
Shop the villa-inspired tiny house while it's still in stock, and be sure to check out the below essentials and accessories to put in your new home.

Amid the frustration at Oakmont, one golfer and his caddie wife are having the time of their lives
It must surely be one of the best and most joyous moments of this year's US Open: Philip Barbaree is pinching himself in disbelief after making the cut at the brutally tough Oakmont Country Club. It's a dream that's now a reality for a young American golfer who just four years ago was still working at his father's steakhouse. But it's also a dream that may never have happened had life events taken a different path. Oakmont is a notoriously challenging course, a venue that has already seen big-name players like defending champion Bryson DeChambeau fail to make it through to the last two rounds. Many players have been throwing clubs, slamming them in frustration, cursing the brutal course. But not Philip Barbaree, whose journey is both remarkable and inspiring and the best part about it is that the 27-year-old from Louisiana – who came through final qualifying in Florida – gets to share his success with the love of his life: His wife, best friend, and caddie Chloe who he married earlier this year. 'She's been caddying for about a year now on the bag, and it's been awesome. At first it started as, will you just caddie for me for a couple days, I don't have a caddie? And then I started playing well, and then I pretty much made her stick around. I forced her to stick around. She actually enjoys it, but it's great,' Barbaree told CNN Sports. 'I don't like lot of information out there. I'll start thinking way too much. If I start talking it through with a caddie, then sometimes I just get in my own head. For me just to do my own thing and have her there for support and to give me good words whenever I need it or just to have some peace and comfort, it's been really nice. A really good team,' he added. Chloe's own journey is quite remarkable too. She's not a golfer and she only fully embraced the sport when she started out on Philip's bag. It's something she feels works in the couple's favor. 'He thinks that I bring a different perspective since I don't have a golf background, I don't play golf, so I see things that maybe others wouldn't see and point it out to him, and it just works,' she said. 'I love it. I always tell him I'm honored that he chooses me as his caddie because I know that's a big role to fill.' 'I think it just works because I'm there for moral support, whatever he needs. I'm not pushy. I don't know all the facts, so I'm there for moral support. Usually, the advice I give him is to not overthink and be confident because I know that he knows what he's doing, and when he's confident, he plays the best. So, I just say, be confident in your decisions. You know you best. Just play your own game and have fun,' Chloe added. Ten years ago, Barbaree won the US Junior Amateur event but not too much has gone right since until this week in the ultra-competitive world of professional golf. Philip – who currently plays on the PGA Tour Americas circuit – is competing in just his second US Open and his first since missing the cut at the 2018 tournament, which is why making a nervy 5-footer for par at his last hole early on Saturday to make the cut for the weekend meant the world to him. When play was suspended late on Friday due to a downpour of rain, Barbaree was one of 13 players who had to return early the next morning to complete some unfinished business. After a bogey on his first hole of the day, he knew what had to be done on the last after a less than perfect night's sleep. 'A lot of pent-up emotion and stress from sleeping last night or not sleeping last night, just knowing that I pretty much had to come out and make par on one of the hardest holes on the course,' he told CNN Sports. 'And then to actually do it, that's what you practice for, that's what you care about. To be able to pull off a shot like that when it matters, and then with her on the bag, it's special.' And speaking of that bag, Chloe said her spouse tries to make it as a light as possible for her. 'Still feels heavy to me but I really enjoy it. I like getting to be by his side and there for him if he needs a pep talk or pick me up whatever. It's just a really cool experience together and to get to travel together so he doesn't have to be alone is so cool,' she said. The last couple of days have proved to be rollercoaster of emotions for a young golfer who really has been living the dream. He was last to make the cut and then he had the first tee time of Saturday's third round. And there's more. He and Chloe basically had the course to themselves for a while as the former Louisiana State University standout was playing solo. And then came a moment to savor. A moment of magic came when Barbaree drained a 36-footer for eagle as he went on to shoot a third-round 75, ending up at 12-over par for the tournament going into Sunday's final round. Philip credits Chloe for playing such a key role in helping to turn his career around. The couple share a special bond, with Barbaree paying a moving tribute to his wife just last month on his Instagram account to celebrate their 1-year engagement anniversary. A post shared by PHILIP BARBAREE JR (@philipbarbareegolf) In what he called a wife appreciation post following a recent event, Philip thanked his wife for caddying for him for 33 holes in one day at 9,400 feet above sea level – no easy task. Before meeting Chloe, life was far from straightforward for Philip Barbaree as a golfer. The challenging times would come and at one point he was even left questioning his future in the sport. 'Professional golf is tough. It's very, very hard. I think having the right people around you is big and I got a great family, a great wife and her family. You know when she started caddying, it was the best because that means I don't have to travel to tournaments alone. I don't have to do all these things by myself, which is fine, but you know it's not the same as having your wife there,' Philip reflected. 'There were some down periods. Multiple times where, thinking do I want to keep playing? Do I want to keep doing this? But I love golf so much that it was just too hard to give up. And so, to see kind of the hard work pay off and some of the things come into form, it means so much.' However it all plays out across this weekend, Philip Barbaree will likely never forget what he's achieved here at Oakmont knowing full well it has the potential to be truly life changing. And as for that steakhouse experience back in 2021? 'Oakmont is just barely harder than my experience as a busboy at my dad's steakhouse. In two short days I got sick, I cut my finger wide open, and it just wasn't a whole lot of fun. So, I knew I needed to get back out on the course,' he said.

WNBA Reacts to Caitlin Clark's New Wardrobe During Fever Game
WNBA Reacts to Caitlin Clark's New Wardrobe During Fever Game originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Indiana Fever and the New York Liberty went head-to-head on Saturday, marking their second matchup of the season. Advertisement The Liberty won the first meeting on May 24, 90-88. Although Caitlin Clark finished that game, she suffered a left quadriceps strain at one point during it and hadn't played since. She returned to the court Saturday after missing the last five games. The Fever had been eager to get her back in the lineup, going 2-3 in her absence. In the four games she played before Saturday, she averaged 19.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 9.3 assists. She also returned with a new addition to her wardrobe. Clark debuted the Nike Kobe 6 Protro PE 'The Bellas.' While she's worn Kobe 6s in the past, Saturday marked the first time she laced up that specific colorway, named in honor of her dog, Bella. Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark (22).Grace Hollars/IndyStar / USA TODAY NETWORK The WNBA took to social media to share a look at her wearing them in warmups. Advertisement "Caitlin Clark's kicks of the day," the league wrote. Clark signed a deal with Nike in April 2024 worth $28 million over eight years. It includes her own logo and signature shoe, both of which have yet to be released. In the meantime, the Clark-designed Kobes have been a hot commodity. Oklahoma City Thunder guard Alex Caruso wore a different colorway during Game 1 of the NBA Finals. Even Clark's boyfriend, Connor McCaffery, chimed in and asked for a pair from Nike. "Where are mine at @nike," he wrote in the comment section of an Instagram post.
