Woman Living in a Beautiful Floating Tiny House – Full Tour & How It Works

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!

That sunset reflecting on the water is so beautiful.

My best friend lives in a two story floating home in Gresham. The whole community is filled with unique homes. The view is beautiful too❤

[annanirathsi]

I love that yellow tile in the bathroom and the matching front and slider door are really cute.

[terrestreasures]

I love the backsplash in your kitchen.

[blessedhitchhiker]

Wow...your "little" floating home is gorgeous. I moved to Mexico 2 1/2 years ago. Love it here so so much.

[rickhaffner]

Deep inside I am a floating home guy. I ache to live in a small space, floating with nature. Boats are giant cribs for me; ships are hammocks that rock me to sleep.

[briana]

I love it so much! And I appreciate her simple breakdown of how such a structure exists over water. And the stick bucket for river water is genius 😻

[ldirk]

This is my dream home in my dream location. So beautiful! I love your style, decor, taste. A little tip, our chiminea burned a hole in our deck eventually. I put a tile under it and feel much safer. Your deck is beautiful.

Beautiful tiny floating house! I love all of the windows, the induction stove, well-designed kitchen and living room space, and spacious deck. Best of luck on the next adventure in Mexico. Thanks for sharing.

[VerucaPumpkin]

uh what, induction sorcery so cool. I feel like a whole video could be on that feature alone!

[emeraldcoastgardensfl]

Great concept... fabulous execution. Avoiding the flooding issues on flood plains. Brilliant!!!!

[Cthomas]

This is awesome!! I get so relaxed being on the water so I’m sure I’d be like a bowl of jello and so relaxed I’d never get anything done ❤

[janinafisher]

A houseboat has always been a dream for me, though I never lived anywhere where it would have been possible. So seeing this was just lovely. Amy has made herself some lovely floating homes, and now that the dream moves forward I hope she finds a beautiful life in Merida! Buena suerte!

[geraldstokes]

Wow, this is awesome, didn't know there was such a thing, I. A timber framer, and always wanted to put a barn on a barge, sulsalito !!

[tjbaden]

I live in Vancouver, Washington, right over the bridge from Portland and I watch Amy's You Tube channel on floating homes all the time!

[leosmith]

Excellent Video! Love your home and your vintage green runabout!

[funnkyfunk]

Not only do I want to live in that house, and visit that bathroom, which is GORGEOUS!! But I want to be her friend. Such lovely energy nd seems like a great community with all the houseboats! Well done on a beautiful home!
