Video Description
Tour this bright little floating home on a river in Portland, Oregon! It has a big deck surrounding it on two sides, and when you walk in through the bright yellow door, it's surprising how spacious it feels despite the small size. It has an open concept kitchen, living room and dining room with high ceilings and an amazing view on the river. And there's also a lovely bedroom with incredible wall-to-wall built-in closets for storage, a nook for a desk, and an ensuite bathroom with bright pops of colour. This tiny float home is just 550 square feet (51 square meters) and was originally a small old float home in desperate need of a remodel. But when they opened up the walls, they realized they'd have to take it all the way down to the float and build new from there. In this video we get to see the before and after of the stunning renovation! The float is made with logs and stringers, and additional flotation can be added as needed to balance out the weight of the boat, by adding foam blocks wrapped in plastic underneath. Amy Sedgwick has been living here for 2 years, and she previously lived in 2 other float homes in Seattle and Portland. She sells float homes and she has written an ebook about float homes!
