How Randy lives in the $20k 8’x16’ Incred-I-Box Tiny Home 🏡 🏘🏡🏘🏡🏘🏡🏘

[@luv2jazz]

I would prefer the fridge be raised and drawers and storage underneath. Hate having to bend in half to see what’s in the fridge. You guys are changing peoples lives and I Thank you for that

[@mikebrendan3766]

So cool... while every other Builder out there is always trying to figure out a way to make more money and raise their prices... here's a company who's actually trying to lower the prices as much as possible so that way all people can afford a home. You f****** rock!

[@Stacey721]

Amen!

[@roboticunclephil]

Amen! I'm getting one installed in my backyard next month for making love to my wife in.

[@Das801E]

I agree I am a vet widow on a very limited income and this is perfect for me❤

[@roboticunclephil]

Already made the payments wife she wants a divorce. No refunds This is bs

[@Defender_of_men]

@@roboticunclephil sounds like even more motivation to buy yourself this little cabin then.Enjoy your new found peace and tranquillity

[@2k0014u]

I love the Incred-I-box! Someone could easily take this to the next level by adding a combo washer/dryer under the table counter and maybe a bigger apartment-sized fridge next to it. That way you could have a full closet where the mini fridge is now. I love how customizable it is!

[@Das801E]

Adding to comment below cause a door is more better you have enough space on kitchen counter to where it can be cut short to widen the shower wall to install a build in slide door or a farmer door. It would look so sharp ❤

[@andreamcguin2375]

@babaganush754 and maybe a cooktop of some sort

[@karenmorris7502]

Lowe's and Home Depot sell accordion vinyl doors that can go on the bathroom entrance for less than $50.

[@ChibiChula]

A decent cheap solution for the bathroom door if you need privacy. 😁👍 Personally, I'd buy one of those Nautilus shower doors for the shower stall instead of curtains, put in a tiny hand wash sink (an over-toilet one would be convenient but probably hard in terms of plumbing) and use either a curtain or another Nautilus shower door as the bathroom door too. Those shower doors are a lot more pricey than the accordion doors but look much more sleek, plus they are pretty much self-cleaning. Not a bad splurge in my opinion. 😅

[@tinanelson4805]

@ChibiChula .. Best option, I was thinking the same thing.

[@annesmith5192]

Great idea.

[@rutyael18]

I really like it a lot. I prefer the day bed when you moved it the second way it opens up the space the energy is better and the log fire has to go halfway up the wall, eye level is best and you can make a feature of a small shelf or basket that holds the tiny tiny logs that you will need. It's wonderful Randy. May you live in your home in good health.

[@joy-115]

All tvs should be mounted like that in these homes! It's great

[@ariannasparkles8138]

I personally would use a daybed for a couch/bed. It sits higher so space under the daybed would be more accessible yet easier to hide with a bed skirt.

[@darlind6463]

Suggestion: Every tiny house should have an exhaust fan in the bathroom. Mold can set up in a place like that very quickly. You can open the window but in the winter that's not a great option. If you live in a very humid area, the exhaust fan would be beneficial rather than opening the window and just letting in more dampness.

[@sherrygrey3008]

Sorry but exhaust fans are overrated, they don’t SUCK up MOISTURE, they suck up air, leave the window cracked & bathroom door open (if you have one) while your showering. I’ve NEVER had a problem with moisture or mold! You can always buy some of those products that remove moisture (don’t know the exact name) and place them in the home

[@susiecharbonneau6420]

I always have a tower fan on 24/7 year round so what I would do is just point it toward the bathroom when I take a shower.

[@cherylperkins7538]

I live in Florida. So true

[@berniedonaldson6291]

If you have a windows, not necessary. I only have a skylight works GREAT ‼️

[@lizcervone1307]

I love the sofa on the end rather than the side wall perfect that way you could if you want a small chair by the tv area. Love it!💖

[@michellecinkek6616]

I don’t have any problem helping homeless vets in our world . But I’m not helping any other people . Vets deserve the world from us .

[@Maxthedog14]

Love the simplicity. I like the second setup best. I would add a bifold door possibly for the bathroom. Good job!

[@SuzanneU]

I like that!

[@destinysisco3142]

Would love a light weight barn door for that bathroom or an old fashioned pocket door.

[@sherrie9241]

Wish the 'new' admiration would contract these to be made for homeless Veterans' everywhere in the USA instead of spending our MONEY on crap we are fighting against...

[@whomadethewordword5035]

The shelf over the window in the living area, I would add another shelf below which goes across the window, would add more storage and would look awesome with a few plants on it.

[@kimberli2391]

I would build a platform bed with drawers underneath for clothes. Pillows to make it a couch in the daytime. More shelves, over the door, over the windows. Build a little platform for wood stove with storage under for wood.

[@BrownEyedGirl331]

I am planning on a sectional that doubles as a sleeper, with very little conversion. This is what downsizing is all about and it opens up a whole new world for persons who are very low income and/or homeless. I cannot wait to say goodbye to ridiculous utility costs also, thank you.

[@tales_of_the_crypto1583]

Love seeing the decorating ideas! I want the tankless water heater also. I would do an accent wall in living room tongue in grove, maybe a ceiling fan. I like the second look. Both are nice 👌

[@ChibiChula]

Wood accent wall would be excellent! Also, the best part of the walls being magnetic is that you could glue strong magnets to wood planks and put the wood on the wall that way so it's removable if you get tired of it and/or easily repaired if needed. 😁👍

[@Kammitoes]

I love the Futon under the end window - really makes the house look so much larger and with the wood stove mounted up the wall it will give you space to put a drop down bench at the end of the Kitchen bench. I love it. I wish I lived in the U.S. so I could take advantage of your Incredi-box. It's a great sized home for 1 or 2 people!

[@doveleboeuf6625]

I wouldn't have 3windows in the living room!! Too many, you could use more wall space to mount those small cabinets like the ones above refrigerators to put folded clothing. You could have double windows just in front of living room!! Put the couch across the end and have small coffee table that could slide under the couch, just enough to hold a drink& book,remote. You could use the heat & air conditioner unit that mounts up high. If you did that then you could have a table for two that folds down. With the couch across the end you could put a loft just for a mattress. Put a bi-fold door for bathroom. Or you could use the loft above the bathroom to lay a twin mattress on if you put the cabinets up high on walls for blankets, sheets, towels, folded clothing, the you wouldn't need the shelve above window. A woman would need a place for shoes & more clothes!! Use one of the drawers in kitchen to put one of those drawer dishwasher!! Those cabinets above would help to have space to store foods. I think the price of $20,000 then would be worth it!! No ugly lime green doors either please!!!

[@wisegentle7859]

This would be a wonderful idea for grown kids who want to move back home or just have separate bedrooms with their own kitchen and bathroom....so many ideas

[@daebak_hana]

I was trying to buy a camping trailer but it's hard to find one you can live in for $20k for less. Then I keep.hearing about quality issues. I have tons of furniture in storage all I need is my tiny home on wheels! I love this options especially since I can do final finishes myself. This is a great product!

[@jimsteele7108]

Oh, and the fact that you can raise the stove up is a total game changer. You're definitely onto something there randy, good job!

[@laurawolfe6987]

I love the Incred-I-Box! Very affordable home with enough space. Anyone who thinks it's too small should check out what passes for apartments in big cities! Merry Christmas y'all!

Hello Randy and Amanda, Let me just start by sending you my deepest condolences it’s never easy to lose the most important person in your life. Believe me my mom’s calling was on 2003. Since I’ve been watching you on ITH all these years it was so beautiful when Mama use to come to speak such a sweet humble person. Randy always remember all she thought you and by what I have noticed your a very nice person and also humble May God give you strength, peace and bring you happiness also more blessings every day You take care🙏🏽💗

[@JamesB02]

Hi Randy, my condolences 🙏 to you , Sam and the rest of your family. Hi 👋 Amanda. I like the 2nd option of the furniture placement. It looks better placing the futon in front of the back window 😉👍

[@labelgirl]

Great video promoting the incredibox. It really is a great blank canvas, so people can make it their own within their own budgets. I really like seeing it how someone really lives in it. Oh, like the futon at the end (second position) Thumbs up! 👍🏻

[@rubencohen2936]

You should have an exust fan in the bathroom. Skip the wood stove and go with a ductless mini-split, for heating and cooling.

[@D31taD4wn]

Hi Randy, so very sorry too hear of the passing of your Mother. Loved watching her when you helped her open her cards She was so loved by your public. You have so many beautiful memories. Thank you Randy for so many Artistic ideas when it comes too building and finishing these homes. Amanda does a awesome job decorating. So beautiful. God be with you all at **ITH**.

[@ldybug54]

Randy. My first thought when we'd entered your home was, thought Randy didn't watch TV... but when it went to you sprawled out on the couch watching that beautiful fire, I thought you've made that In-Box 'YOUR HOME' 🏡 Glad you kept Mom's TV, you'll think of her every time you watch it ♥️🌹 I was so hoping, that I could get in on that deal, but Senator Manchin, voting No on the Recon, just put a damper on my financial plans. You inspired me to dream of owning my own tiny home. I never imagined the possibility, but God's will...Grants me the Serenity to except the things I can not change. Gives me Courage to change the things I can, and Wisdom to know the Difference. I humbly turn my will over to him and my Dream Will come true... All I have to do is BELIEVE. You and Amanda, your exuberant energy, imagination, honesty, and desire to do what you love, helping, those who have not, without greed is a gift that mankind needs to learn...God works in mysterious ways. We just need to watch for the signs. You are Gods Gift! To us 🏡 ITH 🏡 Merry Christmas 🎄♥️💚 Happy New Year🌹

@@Swim136 So sorry. Wasn't trying to be political. Just intended to explain my financial disappointment. The recon bill has money for 1st home buyers. The delay will put that opportunity past January deadline. Was just expressing my disappointment. My apologies for my sadness.

[@cindyjernee3181]

I really like the couch/bed looks better the second way. Doesn't look squished.

[@lisafriedman6890]

Also my personal preference would be to flip flop the ref/ closet area so the tiny refrigerator was at a higher level, and the spices/pantry and closet was lower… then I would add a decorative hook for keys on the side panel of the refrigerator because it’s right there by the door when you come in.

[@sherrihanlon8281]

Switch the TV to the other side next to the counter and put the wood stove on the side next to the door. Then you can hang your coats up higher so that when they are wet they can dry over the wood stove.

[@victoriarobison5006]

Looks great! Personally, I would prefer fridge where spice rack is.Board where pans are under second shelf. Love the coat rack idea. And future water heater up above. This is really nice!! Wonderful job!!! Love it!

[@cindylanger1130]

I noticed your container in the kitchen labeled "Naked Pea", I think that's a great name for your house, " The Naked Pea". So happy Randy has a permanent roof.

[@Jules73572]

You could buy a 4 draw chest and put your refrigerator on top then you have draws for clothes and your fridge is a higher level. There are so many creative possibilities to live in this cozy home. I just love it ❤️❤️ great job guys. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️🙏🏻🇺🇸🏠

[@SuzanneU]

I also like the fridge to be raised.

[@happylemonheads]

That is a good idea about the fridge on the chest of drawers.

[@girlnextdoorgrooming]

The dishes could go in the drawers.

[@ljgillean]

I love it! Wish I had 3! My son lives in his car in Indiana so that he can be near his son. When the pandemic hit son 1 came from Indiana and Son #2 from Seattle. To stay in Texas with dear old mom. They have jobs, but there are no apartments available, the waiting lists are so long! You are really on to something and at a perfect time! But where to park it? I need land, and 3 or 4 of these! Lol. Love your tiny houses! Randy, so sorry about your mom.

[@SweetbearCoyote]

The sofa across back wall seems more practical for floor space. I think you could eliminate one of those front room windows because the wall space would give so many more options to use that wall space for shelves, cabinets etc. That would leave the cost of putting that in to use for a ceiling light/fan.

[@angelgendvilas4254]

Agree

[@kathleen9929]

Immediately thought the same thing about the windows. Lose one or raise up higher for easier placement of furniture/shelves.

[@EastCoastGal66]

I agree!

[@Michou007]

Disagree - Natural light is extremely important in a small living space. It makes the space feel even bigger. The more windows, the merrier. If it were me, I would even add 1 more window to the back of the trailer. Feeling of spaciousness garanteed! Great for reading a book on your sofa. You are inside, nice and cozy, but you feel like you are surrounded by nature. This is essential for our long-term psychological well-being, to have access to natural sunlight. I speak from experience. You feel much better living in a trailer with more windows, than if your trailer feels like a coffin...

[@SweetbearCoyote]

@@Michou007 in most instances I would agree but in this case the house is so small and lacks enough storage space for shorter people or elderly people to easily access. It would be difficult to have to store everyday items like your clothes in the loft. It would be nice to have the option to not have a third window for those that would rather have the wall for storage cabinets or shelves. Just my opinion for what it’s worth. I don’t think my post has even been read by anyone at the company and it won’t change anything so you don’t have to worry about what I think.

Hi Amanda and Mr. Randy, that's a nice little wood stove and I think you should have one in your tiny home, but not that one, you should get the Dickerson wood stove, either for wood or propane and it hooks up to the wall, check into it, one day I'll buy me one when I move to your community if the Lord permits it...Lol hahaha!!!😃 love you both 💖💖

There’s tiny house groups that can also help you build one. Contact a few builders if tiny living and tell them your situation.

[@leahbaker1724]

You could definitely do this much cheaper, with different options I got my appliances new but they were on clearance because of a small scratch. And I got my cabinets used and I just clear and stripped old paint off and repainted them new knob’s they look new. If you want some pointers I would be glad to help.

Just curious, how did you get to 65 (or 66 now) with nothing saved?

[@perpetualmotion8090]

I love this home and can definitely see myself and my cat living in one of these. I would need a small portable washer used in RV's and keep it shower and a fold up rack to dry clothes. This could work for me.

[@cheryldaniels8801]

Some people are making outdoor screen in cat walks for their cats. The cat goes through a space on the inside of your house in the window then your pet can enjoy the outside and enter in and out when they get ready!!!!!! You can make the cat walk as long as you want- then add some tree branches or logs to climb up on.

[@tandiparent1906]

[@kathyinwv250]

Having lived in a mobile home I know it's very miserable living in a metal box in the summer. I think if I didn't have a mini-split I'd buy a window type heat/air conditioner unit and mount through a wall.

[@BunnyKramer]

Absolutely!

[@smarke76]

I like that for this particular home.

[@destinysisco3142]

Mini split is a great idea!

[@alanmcrae8594]

Spot on! Metal box structures, even with a little insulation in their walls, really heat up during the hot summer days. (Having lived in a travel trailer I too can attest to this.) A mini split is a must, as even some fans won't really help much when it's 90+F and a cloudless sky. But I wonder if parking under a 10'x20' carport awning would help much? Anybody have experience with getting a travel trailer underneath some shade in the summer? (Affordable housing, any level of shelter, is going to become a big thing as the recession deepens. Homeless folks will be glad to have ANY roof over their heads, but it would be good to let people know what to expect if they go this route and how to optimize comfort on a very tight budget.

[@chezmoi42]

It really looks homey, especially with that storage cabinet by the door. You're right, the sofa at the end opens up the room, so much nicer than the side. As you talked about putting the water heaters in the lofts, I wondered why the slope of the roof goes down to the loft end? Wouldn't it give you more useful height if you made that the high end? May have to flip the trailer direction for your aerodynamics, of course.

[@sallykushmaul1393]

Randy, your Tiny Home is So cute. Love the second way with the bed. Like the water heater up there. Hello beautiful Amanda. What a deal.

[@genkiferal7178]

Makes more sense to have a sliding glass door as the entry and have one or two fewer windows. You could place the couch in front of the sliding glass door if your view is nice. Makes more sense to put small framed white or silver (even strong glass) narrow shelves in front of the kitchen windows so you can have more windows in the kitchen. if blinds narrow enough and with twist rod to open and close or in-between panes of window, can close blinds and still have narrow open shelves in front of them. The items on those shelves could be all glass or a shiny white or shiny metal to reflect the sunlight.

[@Lynnmur]

Love the setup. The open shelves, closet, and the white walls, windows is so inviting! I’ve seen other tiny homes with the fireplace on a shelf. Does Ace love his new house?

[@davidwill1320]

If you could do this on an 18 foot platform for 25K that includes space and hookups for a washer/dryer combo, plus additional clothing storage area, it would be a great space. Buyers would need to finish out the storage area and supply their own washer/dryer. On the 16 foot I'd install a window in the bathroom that's large enough to hang an A/C in. The electric it already there. I'd also remove the large window on the back wall of the living room and replace it with a smaller window over the eating area. This will give the room more flexibility to add storage or other items to that back wall, while still allowing for good cross ventilation. It's also nice to have a window to look out, while eating. :-)

[@Wild-Wisdom]

On the couch/bed location I'd say it depends where you're located. If you had it on some property with privacy I'd leave it by the windows to see the sky and storms at night. Also I think another good option would be those raised bunk style beds with the desk underneath for like college kids or even a futon under the bunk if you didn't want the desk for work/eating/hobbies/tools could clean guns at the desk or sew or many things.

[@catherinegreene8091]

Hi Randy and Amanda, Just read about your mom. So sorry for your loss. Your mom was a very strong lady with a great sence of humor. Its

Couch back wall and stove on platform on wall. That way gives more floor space!

[@barrez9307]

I like the heater by the door I've seen that in the majority of homes built for Canada and Oregon cold THOWs. If it gets too hot or smokey you can open door! I like couch against back wall surrounded by windows. But, if you keep to right you can place a cabinet under window for daily work clothes and paperwork personal items. I'm looking forward to a photo of Mama Jones to bless this home. Amanda find him a beautiful frame and location. I'm all teary eyed ,❤️ bless you all.🙏

[@janlint7434]

What a great video! Loved the 🔥 fireplace at the beginning. You are giving me so many ideas for my home with your new Incred-I-Box. I didn’t think the futon would fit at the end like that! I like to rearrange, so I’d be switching it around every few months. Robb did a great job on that cabinet! I’m so excited for what the new year will bring to your business!

[@egoodson1]

I like the second setup. If you raised up the fireplace, you would have some extra storage for wood and/or tools. You would also be able to see the fire if it was raised up.

[@jewelssylva3738]

I really like this setup. It's in my price range & it's so simple. I hope these sell like hotcakes!

[@cassandramauerman9760]

I like it at the end it looks like there is more room. The cabinet around the refrigerator is perfect!! Randy so sorry about your mother 🙏

[@LucyLynette]

Suggestion: Extend the loft along the top of the kitchen wall, in the form of a 12 to 14 inch deep shelf. Visually, it will help "frame" the kitchen, while also providing TONS of extra storage space. Small storage cubes and baskets can fit easily into such a space, and look good doing it.

[@alison2304]

That’s a great idea!

[@LucyLynette]

@Jojo Moa Not for me, thanks. I have serious knee issues. Climbing is difficult and kneeling/crawling is a no-go. I like that this model has only a modest storage loft, and isn't designed with the expectation that there will be any day to day living up there. That's a welcome rarity in tiny homes. Everyone designs bedroom lofts, but not every potential customer is fit to use them.

[@SuzanneU]

@@LucyLynette I'm with you here!

[@destinysisco3142]

Excellent idea! Grandkids could sleep up there when they visit.

[@melodywelsh2315]

I like the sofa across the back wall. I would put plastic bins under the couch for shoes and everyday clothes. You definitely would do well with 3 shelves in the kitchen area. I would want a larger fridge, it could fit in the same spot. I’d put a shelf above all the windows. Very nice home. Has everything you need.

A Cube stove would heat that tiny house and take a lot less room. It, too, can be mounted up high.

[@carriemoench3545]

Someone commented on Murphy bed idea. That's a fantastic 💡. You could eliminate end window and insert Murphy bed unit. When Murphy bed is closed you could have a sofa setup attached to the Murphy bed. You could also have storage above Murphy bed too. Sounds great! 😊 Condolences to both of you on the loss of your loved one. 🫂 🤗 Take care and Happy New Year!

[@gingermiller1087]

Only men put toilets right next to the kitchen. Put the bathroom on one end with the bedroom next to it -- which makes sense! Put the Kitchen on the other side of the bedroom. You want the bedroom and the bathroom next to each other so when you get up during the night or get sick, etc. And I wouldn't want a toilet next to where I'm eating and cooking and fixing food, etc.

a different floor plan is to remove the area where the fridge is and add a fold down table to have up or fold away. them you could add more shelving or a cabinet. cut down the counter a bit a d add a 3/4 fridge. under the counter tops you can add some pull out counter/cutting board area.

I like the second arrangement best. Makes more floor space. Where’s space for W/D? I’d need that. Stackable?

[@VisciousMatt]

The house is beautiful! It's one of those kinda places you need to live in, and, grow into, before doing anything . Because you don't have a HUGE space, you need to think about your priorities, and, what's important in your, unique, way of living.

[@pacnoman]

Hey Randy! I just realized that there is no a/c in this one, given that this a metal building, what would it take to keep this thing cool? Can you put in a mini split? If you live in a warmer state, ie; Florida, GA or the like, can heat be a factor?

I see, ( in my crafty mind ), a little floating shelf in the center of the coat rack board. A catch all for keys and rings, etc. Love it. I would love to get where I could buy 2. One for visitors (grandkids). A spare studio.

if I had a place to put this I would sell my home in a heartbeat & get one of these homes. great job y'all

Randy, love this idea. I have a suggestion for Incred-i-box 2.0. Switch the direction of the trailer tongue to the other end. Switch the roof pitch and make it a bit steeper from the Living room end up toward over the bathroom and put a loft over the bath and part of the kitchen with a 90 degree rotated 2x4 ladder running up to the ceiling across from the countertop and perpendicular to the fridge enclosure. Put a hopper or awning window in one end of the loft and an egress window on the other side. You will have to add a transverse gable running parallel to and over the bed to keep the height under 13 feet 6 inches. Include the gas tankless water heater. I have a partial and preliminary drawing I could send you by email. It is a PDF made using Sketchup. It still has a lot of things to be corrected.

I'm with you - I also dislike ceiling lights. Wall lights are kinder on the eyes and it's much easier to change bulbs. I'm playing with the idea of using IKEA shoe holders for clothes and stuff - the type with the tilt-out drawers. I've found that I can roll up my jeans and t-shirts and so on, and they fit in very neatly. These units are shallow so they don't eat much floor area. I'd get a mini twin tub for laundry. It can stand in the shower, and you can put your used clothes straight into the wash tub. I'm having a great time experimenting with my Shabuki pot and mini rice cooker. I have a Dash mini waffle maker that I use for waffles, hash browns, cookie dough, omelettes, even to cook one egg. I'm planning to get a Dash mini egg bite maker next week. This can be used as a skillet, to toast a sandwich, bake rather flat scones, and make egg bites. The Shabuki is fantastic! I've used it as a kettle for hot water, braised a whole Cornish hen, cooked steak, and made a variety of stews and curries. With the steamer tier on, I've cooked whole meals including vegetables and even rice or pasta. The rice cooker will cook rice or any other grain or pasta, boil eggs, and steam cakes and puddings. Today I made a carrot cake in it. We'll eat it tonight for dessert. What I like about the gadgets: they can be put into a drawer or onto a shelf. You can easily cook a meal for two or even three. Clean-up is super-easy. There's a vlogger on KZbin who does what she calls countertop cooking - with solar power to boot!

I love the wood stove idea but I think you'd be better suited for the cubic mini which can be hung on the wall.

[@chezmoi42]

I really agree, this one is pretty bulky. The mini is better scaled for the space, and raising it up on the wall is good. If the electric heats up that fast, though, even in winter, do you really need a wood stove eating up precious space year round? It would be nicer to have a comfy chair, or a storage ottoman with a tray that could serve as a table if you wanted to eat or have coffee on the sofa.

I get by with cpl nice space heaters!!!!

[@julieherring7749]

The bed looks better against the window,it looks really good like that .

[@jenniferrowe7484]

Deepest sympathy for the loss of Mama Jones. She was a treasure. Y'all are in my prayers. ❤🙏❤

[@earlshaner4441]

Hi from Syracuse NY brother Randy and Amanda and I am sorry for your loss of your mom. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and your house which is very beautiful.

[@janmilos5975]

My opinion is futon against the back wall, stove by eating counter up 4 feet. Then the heat will be more evenly dispersed. Love you guys, looking forward to video everyday. Merry Christmas to ITH family.

[@b.j.femenella5871]

You probably have gotten enough feedback on your furniture placement. But I will give my opinion anyway, I think the second choice is the best. It seems to give you more space. Looks more open. But nice job either way. Love watching all the tips, love to have one. My prayers are with you and ITH success for the new year.😊🤗

#2. More room. If you build up the fireplace. Could you add a box underneath for firewood.

[@cindygray4533]

I really like the cabinet around the refrigerator, it has good storage blankets, clothing and spices. Sofa at the end wall. Murphy bed with side closests would be nice on the end wall too.

[@MBMCincy63]

@Cindy Gray I like that Murphy bed/couch with closet/ side table idea! 👍
