VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
Drew and Maddie knew they didn’t want to be stuck in an apartment forever. After losing their jobs during COVID, they took the leap into building their own DIY tiny home from the ground up—and today, they’re sharing every detail of their journey.

This 28-foot-long by 8-foot-wide handcrafted tiny home proves that with determination, creativity, and a little confidence, anyone can design a space that feels both functional and inspiring. From the kitchen to the lofts, every inch was designed with intentional living in mind.

🏡 Inside Their DIY Tiny Home:
-Custom Kitchen: Butcher block counters, a retro mint propane stove, Spanish tile backsplash, and open shelving for a bright, spacious feel.
-Dining & Living Space: Floating butcher block dining table, Pottery Barn sectional with hidden storage, and a cozy movie-ready living room with a huge window.
-Lofts: A queen-size bedroom loft with added storage, plus a creative “reading loft” turned writing space.
-Bathroom: Composting toilet, corner sink, spa-style shower with Spanish tile, and a washer/dryer combo—all designed for minimal footprint living.
-Exterior: Cabin-inspired siding, cedar and metal details, and outdoor living spaces for dining and relaxing.

🔨 DIY Build & Budget:
-Built on a Trailer Made triple-axle trailer rated for 21,000 lbs
-Estimated weight: 15,000–16,000 lbs
-Build cost: $35k–40k, spread over three years for affordability
-Certified safe through Noah inspections, giving peace of mind for long-term living and community acceptance

🌱 Lifestyle & Philosophy:
-Downsized intentionally to escape high apartment costs
-Prioritized low-carbon living with propane appliances, no microwave, and composting toilet
-Designed every feature themselves—down to reclaimed wood shelving and a handmade antique mirror bathroom door
Created a home that balances minimalism, function, and personal style
