  • It's not a tiny house but it's definitely tiny living for this family of 2. We gutted an existing basement apartment and made it bright, functional and adorable while sticking to a very modest budget. (Sadly, I cannot disclose the total budget for this specific project).

    Video did not show the whole area of the 300 sq. Foot apartment... It just showed bits and pieces of apartment... It was hard to get the feeling of the floor plan... other than that it was okay thanks

      Thank you! Yes, there are rules for egress and fire codes for rental apartments. We were simply updating the existing basement for the family to use.

    How difficult was the zoning approval process for this?

    • @iamloved
      @iamloved  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      There was already a basement apartment in the space, so zoning wasn't required to update it.

    I live on Social Security. I share a condo with my 21 yr old daughter and her husband and granddaughter. They complain about me being in the living room and kitchen yet they use my furniture and all my kitchen thing and they eat my food up with in days. I need to turn my bedroom bathroom and walk-in closet into with a very small apartment or mother in law suit. I think I can turn one side of my closet into a dry kitchen. But getting the bedroom so I can have a living room is baffling. Please any ideas you may have would be such a blessing.

    • @iamloved
      @iamloved  2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Oh I'm sorry you're feeling cramped. It can be a real struggle. Would you consider a twin size bed to double as a sofa (like in this video)? Or a sofa bed that can pull out to be your bed in the evening? We recently put a pull out loveseat in a small mother-in-law suite that is the size of a double bed. Then we added a wall of cabinets and counters from IKEA along with some electric burners for a "stove", a fridge and microwave. The sink in the bathroom is what she uses for her kitchen sink. Not ideal, but it really works well for her, especially if you select a bar sink faucet instead of a bathroom faucet. I hope this helps!

      @@MsCcarter21 Hey there! Thanks for watching. I didn't share the cost of this project as the homeowner wanted to keep it under wraps. This I can tell you... it was under $5,000 as plumbing and electrical were already in place as it had been an apartment previously.

      It is quite low. The homeowners worked worked with the basement space as it was. Digging out the foundation to give more ceiling height would have cost far too much money.
