Tiny House Tour With The Coziest Bedroom

1. My house overall

My tiny house is 8 feet wide and 32 feet long. I paid $80,000 for my house, and that includes a lot of custom touches.

The rent for the lot where my house stands is $450 a month and it includes water and Wi-fi. I pay under $50 for my electricity.

A lot of people may think $80,000 is a lot for a tiny house but it’s built to last and I’m paying way less than I would if I were in an apartment.

2. The shed

My shed is built onto the end of the house which is as tall as the house. It holds my water heater and Christmas decorations.

3. Outdoor living space

I have parties out here, I sit out here and read – I love this space. The wood came from a friend who took her deck down and my son helped build it. There was enough wood to build a walkway, too.

4. The living room

Believe it or not, I planned everything, from the furniture to the overall layout, around my rug. I downsized a ton of things but kept the rug. My coffee table is also used as extra seating.

5. Windows

I didn’t want any steps or lofts and I wanted tall ceilings, so Peter helped reconfigure the layout.

I also wanted lots of light and windows so you can see all the transom windows I have.

There’s lots of air circulation throughout the house, too, since there are no lofts (just a small one which I’ll get to later).

6. FIreplace

I have a small, portable fireplace in the living room with a mantel.

7. Gallery wall

I wanted a gallery wall but only a few made the cut when I downsized, including the painting that belonged to my grandmother and a piece from Italy.

8. Display areas

I asked for open shelving and wide window ledges to display my trinkets.

9. Fandelier

I have the prettiest chandelier that’s also a fan.

10. Kitchen/dining room

I wanted to keep my antique French table so the legs came off to mount it on the wall to fit. I have a farmhouse sink in this tiny kitchen, too.

My countertops are recycled glass to match my cabinets and appliances.

There’s plenty of storage everywhere in the kitchen. There’s nothing I’m missing – I have cooked for the holidays and haven’t had any problems.

11. Coffee bar

I even had just enough room to build a coffee bar in my tiny home! It fits my coffee maker and everything I need for coffee. The bottom cabinet is for storage.

12. Glass partition

I have had this 70-pound piece of glass for 40 years! This glass panel was once used as a partition in a restaurant in a hotel that I used to work in.

I bought it for $10 when the restaurant closed. I’ve used it over the years as a desk, and a coffee table, and I put it to perfect use in my kitchen as a room divider.

14. The bathroom

I have pocket doors with opaque glass to separate the bathroom. I do have a storage loft that I can get to from the bathroom. I access it with a stepstool.

I have a beautiful blue vessel sink that makes me happy to look at. My shower is 32 inches square with built-in shelves and a glass door. The washer and dryer are located behind a curtain in the bathroom.

15. Bedroom

I didn’t want to do stairs in the middle of the night or as I got older. I have a full-sized bed here and there’s storage underneath and all around the room. My closet has a whole door of shoe storage.
