Her Tiny Home Builder – https://bit.ly/4jQkIPp
VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
In this inspiring tour, Christy shares how downsizing to a custom-built tiny home gave her financial freedom, peace of mind, and the sweet simplicity she was craving. After spending nearly $3,000 a month renting a condo in Southern California, Christy made a bold move—she sold nearly everything she owned, said goodbye to high living expenses, and paid cash for a beautiful tiny home built by Zen Tiny Homes.
Set on her aging mother’s property, Christy’s tiny home was more than just a financial win—it brought her closer to family while giving her space, freedom, and joy she hadn’t experienced in years.
In the video, she walks us through:
-Her fully customized floor plan (including the must-have French doors!)
-A sunny kitchen designed for serious cooking and daily meals with her mom
-Clever, multi-functional design touches like a deep sink used for laundry and a convertible desk/eating space
-How she managed wastewater with a 300-gallon subsurface tank to avoid plumbing headaches
-A cozy sleeping loft that brings back the joy of childhood camping trips
-Her choice to ditch the TV in favor of peace, journaling, and nature
Whether you’re exploring tiny home options to cut down your cost of living, reconnect with what really matters, or simply enjoy a more peaceful lifestyle, this tour is full of smart ideas and heartfelt encouragement.

-How to thoughtfully design a tiny home that fits your real-life needs

You can call Salvation Army and they will pick up the donations for Free, instead if hiring a truck to fill a landfill with your old furniture and clothes.
thank you for the tour of your nice home! I think alot of people would be happy to live in a tiny house but there are so many challenges re where to put it due to state coding laws, etc…
What a beautiful home and how wonderful that you have this time with your Mom. She must be so grateful to have you so nearby. I wish you many blessed years there.
I gave and gave until I had nothing left—and still, it wasn’t enough.
I would have to add some color somewhere. A nice rug or kitchen curtains or artwork or throw pillows – something, anything with color.
The reason why you can do this is because you are living off your mom’s land, You are not as independent as you think. I would never, ever want a loft space to sleep in. That is always a huge no in these silly, over priced trailers.
Needs a love seat and an easy chair.
I love this home, and her philosophy on going tiny! I too enjoy getting rid of things quickly. It makes me feel more free and light.
Looks great! 🎉
