Tiny home dwelling is simply not for everyone. I believed tiny home dwelling was going to be AWESOME! Then I lived in a tiny home for a 12 months….

I was so glad that I was ready for tiny home dwelling, I was seeking to purchase an RV so I’d hand over my full-time job and journey the US.

I suggest, that sounds pretty superior correct? Journey the world, weblog, and have no boss??

Nonetheless after dwelling in a 325 sq. ft. tiny home, I can attest… it was not that superior. In fact it made my life pretty miserable.

As I’m sure you perceive, construction is all of the issues. Residing in a tiny home that’s laid out correctly, would possibly want been superior, nevertheless The house I was dwelling in was NOT laid out very correctly.

This tiny home was constructed throughout the 30s. There have been three small dwelling home windows and even on an excellent sunny day, you’d should have the entire lights on within the dwelling on account of it was merely darkish.

The kitchen and toilet weren’t that harmful…. nevertheless I undoubtedly may need gone for some further counter home throughout the kitchen. I truly favor to cook dinner dinner and meal prep, and solely having one small wedge of counter home made it powerful to prep large parts of meals.

There moreover wasn’t an relevant consuming house. It was laborious to go well with two people on the desk…. so we undoubtedly weren’t ready to entertain which is one factor I actually like.

One different massive draw again was not having a defined dwelling and sleeping home. My mattress was my couch, desk, and sleeping house. It was powerful… notably powerful on my posture. Add all of that to the scarcity of dwelling home windows, and it was solely a recipe for disaster.

I started working for Pela Case freelance in February so I was working from home all day….

2 adults and a 50lb canine in a 325 sq. ft. is just truly tight quarters.

I don’t regret making the choice to current tiny home dwelling a try, nonetheless it’s undoubtedly one factor I’m glad to be abandoning.

A number of the elements that I ignored of the video are schedules and being creative.

schedules:

Justin and I are every on absolutely reverse schedules. He’s a night owl and I’m an early riser. As soon as we had been dwelling throughout the tiny home he was ending his audio engineering diploma and dealing at Fantasy Studios.

He would normally be working late evening time recording durations. When you stroll into the tiny home you stroll straight into the mattress room/lounge so he’d come home after I used to be attempting to sleep. It would stand up the canine and get her all excited. She would want to exit.

Then I’d wake him up after I attempted to make breakfast and get work achieved throughout the morning. It was solely a multitude.

being creative:

The tiny home undoubtedly pressured me to be creative, like having to take photos inside the remainder room at 4 PM with a little bit of card stock on excessive of the commode on account of it was the one correctly lit house within the dwelling.

And, whereas that labored sometimes, totally different events it merely didn’t and I consider my weblog suffered on account of it. I wasn’t ready to take footage merely (lack of sunshine) and I merely felt stifled. I didn’t actually really feel joyful, constructive, and upbeat like I normally do and I consider that received right here through in my work.
