Putting Down Roots
One year ago, we delivered and installed a tiny home to Maine.
This was such a special trip for us because we got to take our family to a place that I spent significant time at as a kid. Our clients are a wonderful family of 4 who wanted to put a tiny house on some purchased land and build the ultimate family getaway. Our clients recently sent us these gorgeous pictures of how they have established their dream getaway and have started to put roots down in this special place, creating memories with their kids. It got me thinking about how we often talk about tiny home living like just getting the tiny home is the dream to celebrate. And that’s true! But it’s in the living, day by day, that the real dream happens, living life intentionally, according to our values. The years after, when our clients build a life around their tiny home, this should be celebrated too.
These photos also show how impacting it is to have an inspired plan for the exterior of a tiny home. Intentional outdoor living spaces can significantly increase the space and experience of tiny home living. Our clients added beautiful landscaping, turning their space into an absolute oasis. They added in a fire pit, family seating for shared meals, and an oversized deck overlooking their beautiful property.
The most inspiring part of it all is that these lovely clients had planned to build a cottage on this property. But they looked at the time and cost of a big full build and decided that they wanted this family time, this connection with their kids now. Not in a couple of years. We were able to get a tiny home to them much quicker. A year later, what they’ve done with their tiny home is a work of art. Their dreams of connecting as a family, immersed in nature, are reflected in the beautiful space they have created around their tiny home.
