How To Make A Mobile Home Trailer Feel More Like A House!!!

Remodeling a living space can be so cathartic! Turning a house into a home! But it can also be intimidating and stressful if you don't have a plan together, because you risk messing up the place you'll be staying in for the foreseeable future.

This video is intended to provide a bit of motivation, inspiration, and just a touch of advice to get you started on your own remodeling project :-)
Its a bit of a hodgepodge including time-lapses and footage I have from way back when I started 4 years ago, all the way up to days before uploading this video, but hopefully it helps with at least the basics.

I have plenty of other footage from various stages of the remodel, but they wouldn't fit in this video, so if you want me to make another remodeling video, let me know in the comments below.

Let me know in the comments below if you have any other questions, comments, or concerns, and as always, remember to like, comment, and subscribe! :-)

Questions from a beginner
#1. I love the flooring can you put in the comments what type of flooring it was what brand what you cut it with?
What did you use to cut the drywall?
#2. Also what did you use to cut out the hole for the light socket it was hard to see you don't mention it can you also put that in the description?
#3. Coping? what is coping? can you make a video of that how to miter the corners together? Just a thought. 🤔 even though you know what you're doing, beginners like me, I would love to put in a flooring but don't even have the first clue as to where to start what tools to buy and so forth....

Doesn't matter where you live. The energy and pride you give it will outshine anything. All that glitters isn't gold.

Nothing wrong with living in a mobile home. Some of them look so much better than living in a grungy house.

Very brave man removing that carpeting without shoes on 😂

[trishalong]

30 yr old double wide completely redone. No more popcorn ceiling, I've taped and mudded every joint, no crown molding just a nice straight seam along the ceiling. Replaced all the cheap molding around the windows with nice white ridged. New laminate flooring and it now looks like a real house! Had a leak behind the dishwasher which destroyed the particle board kitchen cabinets, so hubby and I built new ones which included hand made cabinet doors! I'm very proud of our home😊

Owning a home is a great thing who cares if it’s a trailer! I love trailers

[samadams]

Too lazy? Hardly! Nothing wrong with living in a trailer. A lot of people don't have that. You made it beautiful!!!

[McQueen]

One thing to add, particularly in a mobile home:

Anything you touch confers a feeling of quality (or lack thereof). Therefore, replacing anything you frequently touch with a higher quality grade will help your mobile home feel more like a normal house: doorknobs, faucets, flushers, cabinet pulls, etc.

We bought a rundown trailer for 2000$ Went in and gutted almost everything there was so much water damage..remodeled from top to bottom for about 5000$ Now we have a beautiful home that's ours with no mortgage no debt!😊.. We Learn so much along the way

A mobile home sure does beat the hell out of living under an overpass

I love how encouraging you are telling me “don’t worry it’s not that hard” and then literally show me. Now THIS is a tutorial

We moved into a mobile home in OR after the kids moved out and we relocated from TX. I vowed to make it my palace. We bought it for 32K and put about 40K into it over the 8 1/2 years we lived there and it was amazing. Quartz countertops in the Ikea kitchen, granite in the bathrooms. Enormous master bath tiled, walk-in shower etc. I loved it!

Alas, our last son decided to move back to TX, and we couldn't bear the idea of them all being so far away, so we sold it just this past April for 180K cash... We bought a brand new house here in TX that isn't nearly as plush with upgrades, even if it is bigger and new, and every day I think about how much I loved that little house.

Home is what you make it. Yu're doing a great job of making your mobile home a house, too. :)

Removing those seam covers and flat taping (I'm a former drywall finisher) over them would have taken the overall upgrade up a few notches. Always allow the curtains to skim the floor, it adds a look of elegance, the installation height is excellent though, overall, well done!! One more thing, paint stores will have miss-tinted paint at a reduced price. Put mildew retardant in your paint for bathrooms, and flame retardant in the paint for the other rooms, mobile home fires are hot. An ounce of prevention they say.

You just can't go wrong with CLEAN & UNCLUTTERED and a fresh coat of paint. ☺️ Looks great.

I lived in a mobile home when I turned 18. It got me by and was way cheaper than an apartment. I will never look down on this type of living. I did a lot of growing in that time.

[karenthackray]

A large rug would add to the ambience in your bedroom, also long white curtains are nice too. Looks really nice.

[selena]

I bought moved my mobile home there 31 years ago. I worked 2 jobs raised 4 kids in a mobile home and I have upgraded by painting, putting new floors down! I love it and I have a very small mortgage which leaves me with money to have a small place at the beach ⛱. They can have the big homes and mortgages. Good job! Looks great!

[brendasaunders]

Nice home.. I have heard.. it’s not where you live it’s HOW you live. You are very much dedicated to your home

[greciabarraza]

I think a main one is to take pride. You have a roof over your head, you are protected from the elements, don’t see it as a “not a house” but as your home. I do agree on the floor and lights, I used to live in one and luckly we didn’t have a carpet and the lights we had were really warm.

[carleenspada]

Kudos to you as your work on your little home was thorough, meticulous & tasteful. I really like those single wides . Don’t like doubles at all. When I once was a newly wed back in ‘63 thru ‘65, we lived in a fairly new single. Loved it ! It had all matching yellow fixtures in a U shaped kitchen. Floor plan was an excellent layout and best of all it had all kinds of storage, yes, a place for everything & ofcourse everything in its place. Comfortable, cozy and I felt safe .... sooo, nothing but good memories for me😊. I’m sure you’re feeling the same in your darling little place, especially now after all you’ve done.👍
