If it's your dream to build your own home but you're also ready to downsize, here's the perfect solution. Arched Cabins, a family-owned company based out of Cypress, Texas, ships tiny-house kits nationwide.

It only takes four to six weeks for your kit to arrive, and prices start from an affordable $1,320 for 64 square feet.

OK, so you might not want to live in a house that small, but it could make a pretty awesome guest house, workshop or man cave/she shed. And if you have the cash to splash, prices go up to around $22,300 for a 1,200 square-foot model.

Check out this completed arched cabin, which measures 24 feet by 32 feet:

The interior is remarkably spacious, for such a small structure.

Look at how beautifully one cabin was decorated on the inside.

And the lofted bedroom area looks cozy and peaceful.

The company's Instagram feed is full of more tiny house cuteness to tempt you, like this image of a small lake house in Indiana:

Is anyone else ready for the cool crispness of fall?! The autumn leaves around this gorgeous lakehouse cabin in Indiana have us wondering what the view of the lake is like from that covered porch!! šŸ‚ #archedcabins #archedcabin #metalroof #metalroofing #metalbuildings #buildyourown #diyhome #diy #galvalumeroof #galvalume #lakeview #indiana #lakecabin #lakehouse

Each kit comes with a build manual, floor plates, ribs, ridge beam, standard R13 insulation for the arched walls, metal roof paneling, rubber trim, and foam inserts to use by the end caps, and color-coordinated fasteners needed to assemble the cabin.

However, the kit price doesn't include the foundation, installation, interior, end caps, or delivery cost.

Check out this adorable little cabin nestled in Texas' wine country:

Did you know that Texas boasts a gorgeous wine country trail that runs right through the middle of the Texas Hill Country? Rolling green hills, blue skies for miles, and delicious wine samples at every winery paint a tempting picture for a weekend getaway for big city dwellers like Houstonians, Austinites, and San Antonians!! Can you see yourself retreating to a cabin like this for the weekend? #archedcabins #archedcabin #texaswinecountry #texaswinetrail #texashillcountry #texashillcountrylife #texashillcountryhomes #metalroof #metalroofing #metalbuildings #frontporch #diyhome #diy #buildyourown #buildyourownhome #madeinamerica #designedintexas

There are plenty of ways to customize your cabin, too, like this bold exterior color combo. (Check out that handy deck extension!)

ā€œStunningā€ comes to mind every time we see this bold color combo. The deck extension on the side of this Arched Cabin leads to a huge deck off of the back with a gorgeous view. #archedcabins #archedcabin #boldcolors #exteriordesign #orange #metalroof #metalroofing #lowmaintenance #hardieboardsiding #hardieplank #custombuild #customdeck #designedintexas #madeinamerica

Arched cabins are being used in lots of imaginative ways, like this artists' retreat community in Houston where the cabins are rented by artists.

What better place to get your creative juices flowing?

Tucked away in the suburbs of Houston Texas is this wonderful artistā€™s retreat community! Each of these Arched Cabins are rented out by artists who create their masterpieces in their own space in an environment that encourages creativity and exploration. These beauties are around 10 years old and donā€™t show any signs of wear yet! @purplelephantartcom #archedcabins #cypresstx #metalbuildings #tinyhouse #tinyhousedesign #tinyhousecommunity #artistcommunity #myartistcommunity #artstudio #tinyliving #livingtiny #tinycabin #tinycommunity #madeinamerica #designedintexas

Depending on where you live and where you want to build your cabin, you might need a permit from your county or parish.

According to Arched Cabins, the process starts with a realtor who can confirm zoning and permitting requirements in your area. Sometimes, drawings from an architect and engineer might be required, and you may need to provide a soil sample from your proposed build site in order to create a custom foundation to suit your soil composition.

So, there's a lot more to owning an arched cabin than ordering a kit and following the build instructions. But the finished product is clearly worth the effort.
