Small Mini Tiny Cabin Cottage House - Small Living
This is my 450 square foot micro house. It is completely hand built by me. Every piece of wood was custom made and placed exactly as I wanted it. There is no drywall. All the interior walls are hand shaped walnut, cherry, and ash. Most of the house is built with recycled products or auction finds that were a fraction of the cost of new. My wife, 2 slinky cats and I have lived here happily since 2007. You learn quickly what you really need to live well! I would be happy to help you design and show you how to build your own micro- house. I may even consider doing a kit to ship to you as well as workshops. Give me a call - Will travel for money, food, or both!

About the Designs~
Ron Corl creates his luxury furniture brand by combining modern, artistic design with the care of the Amish craftsman that hand build every piece. His designs span your lifestyle through all the transitions life throws at you!
Although the brand has grown too large for Ron to build every piece himself, he is still hands-on with every client project from start to finish and beyond. He personally makes sure the same quality and care go into every piece, whether it's a pet bed for your Fluffy, or cabinets for one of the best luxury hotels around the world. Designed for people who love their nest and aren't afraid to fly ahead of the flock. Ron calls his style "Lifestyle Amplified"™
Ron has clients over the world ~ all across the US & Canada, and all the way to South Korea and China.
About the Designer~
Ron Corl has been designing and building since he was a baby. "I remember stacking big wooden blocks in kindergarten and trying to understand how far I could push them off-center before they would fall. I've never stopped pushing those blocks as far as I can! My motto is- "If you never build a box around yourself in the first place, you'll never need to think outside of it"!
His pieces don't blend in with your room - they are the anchor point and you design your room around them!
He designed and hand-built a tiny cottage on his 30 acre Ohio tree farm. This proves there can be comfortable living in 500 square feet or less. He Now lives in a small Cape with his artist wife, Susan, and a spoiled cat, Sophi.

For Gothic Bed5.0What an absolute pleasure Ron was to work with.
We collaborated to modify from a bed he had already created, and his drawings were top notch, allowing me to make decisions and see exactly what i was going to receive before the project was even begun.
While it was in process, he gave me regular updates, and he stayed under budget (!).
Delivery was so smooth I was astonished, and the quality of the bed I received is completely incredible. Not only would I recommend him to anyone, I would go back to him for any custom furniture project! - PS

For Computer Desks (3) --Reclaimed Wood5.0From start to finish Ron Corl was a pleasure to work with. When I put the job up on CustomMade I got a lot of responses saying "Sounds great, let's get in touch and talk" "I'm interested give me a call" etc. Ron emailed me with design ideas right off the bat based on the brief I posted, and they required exactly 0 revisions. Everything I wanted from a technical standpoint was included, and aesthetically it was better than I could imagine.
The construction of the final product is top notch. 3 desks in total and the table tops align perfectly and the sizing is perfect (which is important since they are custom to the room.
On a personal level Ron is great work with. He's a "worker" like me. Throughout the process I was up late nights and thought of a question, sure enough, Ron was up working as well to answer. It's nice to see people passionate about their work and pulling those extra hours to make everything perfect.
Would I use Ron Corl again? I already am. We are in the process of doing a coffee table for our rec room.

For Reclaimed Barnboard & Custom Raw Steel Bar Stools5.0I cannot recommend Corl Design Ltd highly enough. They were a dream to work with -- very responsive and professional. The stools they made for my clients were super sturdy and comfortable and look amazing in their Nantucket kitchen. Even better, they arrived ahead of schedule. I will definitely work with them again on future projects.

For Desk4.7The process was very well managed and the finished product is beautiful, practical and amazes me every day (a desk I use on a daily basis). It meets my needs perfectly. The only issue I had was with the delivery company, which Ron did all that he could to help resolve, and which did eventually get worked out.

For Computer Desk5.0Ron has been fantastic to work with. I came to the project knowing some of the specifics of what I needed in a desk, but without a clear idea of what it would look like as a finished product. He was able to take my needs and turn them, not only into what I needed, but into a work of art. He was professional throughout the process, kept me informed, and when it turned out that there wasn't enough ventilation for my monster of a computer, he worked with me to fix that even after delivery. I'd highly recommend working with Ron Corl. The experience has been wonderful and I'd do it again in a heartbeat.
