Transitioning to tiny living was a new concept for Tamara, but it has become one of the most rewarding decisions of her life. As a woman approaching retirement, the thought of downsizing from a 3,000-square-foot home to a cozy 399-square-foot park model seemed daunting at first. However, the sense of freedom, simplicity, and the ability to truly personalize her space has made this tiny home a perfect fit for her new chapter.

When Tamara designed her living room, she prioritized space and comfort. Despite the limited square footage, she chose a floor plan with a bump-out window, which allowed her to push the sofa back and create more floor space. This small upgrade made a significant difference, making the living room feel open and inviting. Her furnishings are a hodgepodge of pieces she has collected over the years, each with its own story and character. For example, an old student desk found at a yard sale adds a touch of nostalgia and charm to the room.
Every detail in this space, from the furniture to the decor, was chosen to create a relaxing atmosphere that helps Tamara unwind and embrace her new tiny lifestyle. In her tiny home, she was able to fit full-size appliances, including a double sink, a five-burner gas stove with an oven, a full-size refrigerator, and even a microwave. The kitchen is designed to be both functional and social.The bathroom in Tamara’s tiny home is a model of efficiency.

The decision to opt for a shower instead of a bathtub allowed her to include a linen closet, providing much-needed storage for towels and other essentials. The bathroom also features a washer and dryer, which was a must-have for her. The bedroom in Tamara’s tiny home is a peaceful haven designed for rest and rejuvenation. She opted for a queen-size bed with storage options above and below, ensuring that she has ample space for all her belongings. The builder offered a drop-down bedroom option, which she chose to provide more headroom in the loft above.
