This is a complete tiny house tour of my beautiful, custom-built park model home (26 ft long x 15 ft wide). See how I designed this small space for maximum joy, comfort, and functionality, even with full-size appliances! Watch as I walk you through the spacious open-concept living area, efficient kitchen, dedicated bedroom, and surprisingly large bathroom. Discover the smart design choices that make small house living feel incredibly free, not restrictive. Inside the Tiny House: Open Floor Plan: Welcome inside to a large, bright living area featuring the dining space, living room, and a beautifully laid-out tiny home kitchen. The flow from sink to stove is perfect for easy meal prep. Kitchen Secrets: Learn the story behind the custom kitchen from Factory Expo Homes. I prioritised a dishwasher (a little smaller, but worth losing some cabinet space!) and chose an all-in-one appliance for baking, broiling, toasting, and air frying, instead of a traditional microwave. My refrigerator is full-size, and I share my tips for maximising limited countertop space using a mobile kitchen island/prep station. Multi-functional Furniture: See how I selected pieces for the living room, including a futon that converts to a bed for guests, and storage-friendly side tables. The kitchen island serves as a dining area, workspace, and extra storage. Comfort & Climate Control: I showcase the wonderful mini-split AC and heat units (one in the living room, one in the bedroom)—an absolute must-have for efficient climate control in smaller spaces. The Bedroom Retreat: After years in studio apartments, having a separate bedroom is a blessing! This room accommodates a full-size (maybe even queen) adjustable bed and features built-in storage, a deep dresser, and my only closet, creatively organised with storage cubes. Crucial under-bed storage provides even more space for clothes and photos. Functional Bathroom: My bathroom feels spacious with a large ceramic shower and functional cabinets. I also share essential tips for managing humidity and preventing mold in a park model home environment. My Home Ownership Story & Cost Breakdown: Hear the unexpected story of how an inheritance provided the opportunity to buy my dream tiny home. I worked with Michelle at Factory Expo Homes and secured a brand-new, discounted 2025 model. Total Cost: The basic package for this lovely home cost a little less than $65,000. Lot Rent & Community: I live in a fantastic 55+ tiny home community that exclusively accepts park model homes (under 400 sq. ft.). My lot rent is in the medium range at around $700 a month. Key Advice: Always ask questions! I share my surprise that the stackable washer and dryer unit was an extra cost, not included in the original package.
