Retired Woman helps to build her own Affordable Tiny House - so cute!

Meet Cheryl, a joyful retiree who's been living in her cute tiny house for 7 years in 2 tiny home communities. While only 13 sqm / 140 sqft, she adores living in her tiny home with a downstairs bed--fully maximized with clever storage solutions. The only way she could afford it was to do a DIY build, but that came with steep challenges. Fortunately, Incredible Tiny Homes had an amazing workshop offer. They would build an affordable tiny house shell, and then they'd provide mentoring for you & friends to come finish as much as possible in a week. Now, Cheryl is living her best retirement life with friends at The Bird's Nest Tiny Home & RV Community.

"Simplify your life until it's the size you need". Best quote ever!!!! Love this lady.

[Jvld]

She was so thoughtful about everything she had installed. This woman was probably a wonderful teacher.

[SprintCarLady]

Finally a homeowner who brought/uses her sewing machine! You CAN go tiny & keep quilting or sewing! Yea!!

[lindar]

What a sweet lady and it's so obvious that she has the perfect temperament for a teacher. Her house is adorable and just right.

What a precious little house! It looks like it was built in the 1930's. Such a sweet lady.

[iama]

Such a sweet lady. Charming, sweet, straight forward, no "like" every two words, no stupid movements of the hands. Just a lady showing her home, real home.
She must have been a good warm teacher, with good boundaries.

Amazing story from Cheryl on how her home was built and her son's generous involvement. Her home is not too big or too small, but just right for her. I do like how there is space around her home for an outdoor area, not just rows and rows of tiny homes. Thanks for posting Cheryl's tiny home and thanks to Cheryl for sharing her story.

This is about the longest I’ve heard of someone living in a tiny house of this size. Kudos to Cheryl for making it work for her lifestyle.

[susangetz]

If you could sleep and craft at the same time, you would wake up with some wonderful creations. 😅

[MeriettaJohnson]

What an awesome lady. I'ld love to have her for a neighbor.

[Theobroma-pn]

I like all of the knickknacks she has. So many tiny houses look sterile and unlived-in. This one looks like a home.

[dm]

This was so sweet, her happiness is contagious. What a beautiful person she is.

[DawnOldham]

What a lovely woman. She has a very good relationship with her son and I love seeing her be so happy and grateful for his help when she needed a loan until her house sold. She so creative, too! I wouldn't have thought of recreating the stain glass windows on paper! It really did add a lot of charm to the house!

[HexagonNightmare]

Cheryl is the absolute cutest in the world.
