25 yr old's handcrafted TINY HOUSE offers independence after college

Meet Derek, a 25-year-old living in a beautifully crafted tiny house. He moved in after graduating from culinary school & now planning to go to college for early childhood education. It allows him to live independently, simply, and affordably. He plans to save up to buy land in the future. Derek's 8.5 m / 28-ft tiny house on wheels was built by Big Freedom Tiny Homes out of Bellingham, Washington-- known for his artisan details and building one house at a time by hand.

Derek loves tiny house living--the simplicity, coziness & affordability of it. It's great secure housing, especially as he goes back to school this year. His beautiful home on wheels is 8.5 m / 28 ft long, built by Big Freedom Tiny Homes. The attention to detail is what makes it stand apart from other builder models, from artisan woodworking to thoughtful storage solutions.

Merry Christmas

I don’t know what I like more ,the incredible amount of keys he has or he has two of same pairs of shoes.

[@jamesengland7461]

That is a LOT of keys!

[@brewatch]

I’m curious because I feel like I’m missing out. I need to know the brand of shoes, they must be great!

[@MBMCincy63]

I like the thought of two exact pairs! Never be mis matched unless you accidentally grab two lefts 😮. Great single person, chef style person. Nifty 🏠. 🥶🖤🔔👍🏻💓

Great tiny house! You definitely made the right choice by going with a tiny house vs an RV. You have a great spot for it too!

[@cinwells7]

This was a great tiny home and a wonderful young owner.

[@TheGalCantHelpIt]

Really like his use of the space under the stairs as a storage area for his dishes, and using the drawers in the stairs as part of his pantry. And the food he makes looks divine!

[@kiddycar16]

Very nice young man who knows what he wants in life. Has a very beautiful tiny and that family helped in parking. It was perfect that the space once had a mobile home. It's just outrageous what one has to pay for parking a tiny.

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

It is really nice to see family helping family when they can 💗

Fantastic home. I never seen steps backing as shelves, gr8 concept. Seems like so much space. Agree with recliner never understood the seating most so not comfy. Even a futon better . B different if weight moving alot , but u diff rig then! U have a home to grow with still wana camp u can as u said!

[@atarileaf]

I see an underlying theme. A lot of these people get free land from friends and family. The average person will have a huge added cost that's glossed over in these videos

[@jamesengland7461]

You really have to be doing some mental gymnastics to turn that into a negative.

[@vermontmike9800]

Exactly. Having to obtain your own land and utilities will make the costs soar. It’s still better to build a real home on a piece of property for the sake of resale.

[@annesmith5192]

A lot of tiny home videos show people who have parked their homes in a tiny home village.

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

In our videos, we always address where people have their tiny house parked and how much they pay. Most people we show rent land, in communities or on someone else’s property. A handful of fortunate folks are able to buy land and many others are also fortunate to have kind family who allow them to park for free or for an affordable rent. We think it’s wonderful when family is able to help their family in that way. 😊💫
