VIDEO DESCRIPTION:

In this video, Diana takes you inside her custom tiny home on wheels, a beautiful 8x24 space that proves downsizing does not mean sacrificing comfort. With a total of 269.5 square feet including the sleeping loft, this Pacific Tiny Home build is a masterclass in organization and creative small-space living. Diana shares her honest experience transitioning from an 1100 square foot traditional house to a minimalist lifestyle in Florida.

What You Will See in This Tiny House Tour:
Gourmet Tiny Kitchen: Discover a functional kitchen featuring laminated countertops, a three-burner gas oven, a deep 10-inch sink, and a 10 cubic foot retro refrigerator.

Smart Storage Solutions: See how Diana utilizes stair storage for a hidden closet and even a clever, concealed cat litter box area.

Multi-Functional Living Room: A tour of the living area featuring IKEA small space furniture, a convertible sofa bed, and a unique Core C bike shelf for indoor bicycle storage.

The Cozy Sleeping Loft: A look at the "clubhouse" style loft that serves as both a bedroom and a peaceful home office.

Full Bathroom: A compact yet comfortable 36x36 shower and regular flush toilet setup with added DIY shelving.

Tiny House Costs and Financials:
Diana is transparent about the financial benefits of tiny living. She provides a full breakdown of her monthly expenses, showing how she lives for approximately $1,400 per month in Florida:
Purchase Price: $76,000 (including delivery and setup).
Financing: $7,000 down payment with a monthly mortgage of $693 (includes insurance).
Lot Rent: $654 per month in a tiny home community with amenities like a pool and gym.

Advice for Future Tiny Home Owners:
If you are considering a minimalist lifestyle or looking to retire early, Diana offers practical tips on:

Researching builders and visiting tiny home festivals.

The importance of finding a legal parking spot or community before buying.

Choosing between a loft or a downstairs bedroom based on long-term mobility needs.

Creating a "Pros and Cons" list to evaluate if downsizing fits your goals.

Living in a tiny house on wheels has allowed Diana to simplify her life, reduce stress, and prepare for an early retirement. This "tiny paradise" shows that with the right organization and a bit of creativity, you can have everything you need in a fraction of the space.
