In this full tour, you’ll see how they designed and built a home that proves downsizing doesn’t mean sacrificing comfort. Inside this Tiny Home Tour: -Open Living Room & Dining Space – Complete with a pull-out couch for guests, wood-burning stove, and heirloom artwork. -Full Kitchen with Triangle Design – Propane stove, deep sink, custom cabinets, and clever storage solutions that make cooking seamless. -Full Bathroom – Large walk-in shower, washer/dryer, recessed shelving, and smart storage for everyday life. -Spacious Loft Bedroom – With standing room, skylight, storage under the bed, and heirloom quilt made by Laryssa’s grandmother. -Exterior Design – Tin siding, dual rooflines, under-stair storage, and plans for solar integration. Why This Tiny House Stands Out: -Built for $50–60k using a mix of savings, reclaimed materials, and smart planning. -Designed for independence, affordability, and long-term living. -Reflects the growing movement of families and individuals downsizing to live debt-free and closer to nature. -Heating and cooling powered by a MrCool Mini Split – DIY-friendly, energy-efficient, and affordable. The Journey: Laryssa started this project with the goal of affordable living and freedom from rising rent. With her dad’s construction background, they worked side-by-side—welding beams, sourcing deals on Facebook Marketplace, and customizing every feature to fit her lifestyle. The result is a home that cost far less than traditional housing and provides a lifetime of security and memories. Why Downsizing Works: -Lower monthly expenses compared to traditional housing. -Ability to live simply without giving up modern conveniences. -Flexibility to move and relocate when life changes. -A practical solution for those nearing retirement, navigating rising rents, or seeking financial freedom. If you’re considering downsizing, living debt-free, or designing a home that truly reflects your values, this tour will show you what’s possible.
