Her Beautiful 399 Sq Ft Tiny Home - A Woman’s Guide to Freedom

Join our newsletter for all things living tiny - www.tinyhometo...
VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
Iris accidentally fell into the world of tiny home living while watching too many HGTV shows and being a digital nomad. After traveling as a minimalist, realizing that she doesn't need much to feel at home led her to this gorgeous house measuring just under 400 sq ft.
Her main living space has a "must-have" fireplace that gives the perfect ambiance to her reading nook. The kitchen has full-size appliances, including a dishwasher that's a huge bonus when living tiny. Ample furniture provides the area with an open feel and a welcoming vibe for hosting guests. Iris loves her king-size bed in the upstairs loft that she describes as a cacoon sanctuary. This home is large but cozy and suitable for this digital nomad in tiny house living.

This is one of the prettiest, most well laid out tiny homes I’ve ever seen. Great job, homeowner!

[@jeneviablanks9086]

I agree! This is one of the most beautiful, functional, organized, well laid out and cleanest tiny homes I have seen. Good for you, homeowner to be able to do what you value most out of life while doing your part of being sustainable.

Lol, okay...I didn't expect to like that place as much as I did, but the amount of natural light she gets is very appealing and the exterior is just as nice as the interior, which she decorated very well.

[@SandraLily2]

It's a Park Model Home and if you're paying lot rent, you're not truly free. The park owners are going to raise the rent probably every year. Since it's considered an RV, putting it on your own land will not raise the property tax as it would if you were to put a traditional home or trailer on it. Owning the park model outright (and ideally, the land) and paying low property taxes is the most free you can be.

[@elizabethfleck6536]

Thank you for your comment. I am considering purchasing land in Colorado (east of Colorado Springs....much cheaper). And putting a tiny home or small home on the property.

I really love this home, but I really struggle when people dont talk about the cost of their tiny. Hearing about costs helps me to more realistically plan for what is a good fit for me.

[@magdathompson68]

Price is a topic they probably don't talk much about, especially at this time. It's going to be different depending on your location. These builders will tell you a build is going to cost 'x' amount, but at these times it'll change due to price changes from the economy, as well as the supply chain being broken. Best thing to do is to go to your builder of choice and check in with them. They'll also help with any changes you might want to the build, adding or subtracting. So giving prices doesn't really help much.

[@larrybill2661]

Hello corrine how are you doing!!

[@corrinebruning7953]

@@magdathompson68 I watch a ton of tiny home videos as I'm researching and planning a build and I appreciate tours that say the price. @Living Big in a Tiny House always asks about price and yes, things change with pandemics, inflation, the economy in general, etc...but it is still super helpful and possible to answer that question, especially at the end of the build they should have a cost total.

[@youfinallyfoundwaldo1364]

This is one of the most favorable set ups for my preferences. It’s surprising how much individual needs/priorities differ person to person. The murphy table is so rad. I love love the closet downstairs in the office. Just because I’m chronically ill with many illnesses, I’d probably open up the interior wall next to the front door for shoe shelves as insulation there isn’t super needed, even in cold climates. And because of PTSD, if I had a dream tiny, I’d have a locked door for entering my bedroom. I’d have to figure out how find a lock that wouldn’t accidentally lock me out lol It’s really unusual to find a tiny with space for a tv to be fully visible while working in the home but that’s be my only other change for the perfect tiny for me I think.

It's a shame that most houses cost 300,000 to 500,000.. those prices are what they think the average cusumer can pay..but that would be insane for me a average working man..I haven't bought a house as of yet..but I'm terrified at the prices of most homes.. I'm completely thinking about going luxury small and putting good use into quality of home at a fraction of the price of most homes... this woman seems content...I think if we all went this route they'd have to start bargaining with home prices..
