  • This young woman has turned her love of wood-working into the ultimate accomplishment, building her very own home! After falling in love with the idea of a tiny house on wheels, and staying in several during her travels, upon returning to England, Florence was inspired into action and started crafting her very own tiny house.
    Her tiny home is absolutely stunning. As you would expect from a passionate woodworker, the house is filled with beautiful timbers. Many of the items inside the home have been reclaimed and recycled helping her to keep the tiny homes budget affordable. The house is also completely off the grid, generating energy from a solar system and using a spring fed water supply.
    For its compact footprint, this house has it all and the clever use of space and functional design makes this home not only a visual beauty, but also a joy for Flo to live in. I hope you enjoy the video tour of this very special tiny home.

      The issue is land ownership. Land is incredibly expensive in the UK (tiny island, large population, unjust class system). If you’ve got land to put it on then perfect. Most of the rich build these on their premises for “glampung” then charge the equivalent of $150-$250 per night to stay in one. If you want to live off-grid in a small home with little footprint, you either have to strike up a secret deal with a landowner, or play the system and save a substantial amount to buy land and somehow gain permission to reside on it through stringent planning permission laws.

    I am sad/impassioned that there's always a comment saying "oh, but that person had help, that person is on their family land," like that takes away from the accomplishment or the drive to commit to tiny living in the first place. Yes, we all live in communities: families, chosen families, communities by location or vocation or affiliation. No, she didn't build this BY HERSELF: why would she when she has people who want to help her? Why take out our own frustration that we don't have family land, or a builder or carpenter in our network, or the hard-won skills these people do? Accentuate the positive, people!
    I love that you tell the stories of folks who live tiny for so many different reasons: ecological footprint, want to own their own space, want the challenge of building, engaging their craft(s), or making a "starter home" and have plans for bigger or better or different. Some homes have no laundry, some have no formal dining, some have walk-in closets... The variety is endless, it seems, and the skills involved are always outrageous. All of them are inspiring in different ways.

      For me, it makes it so much more meaningful that family and friends have contributed - this is how houses used to be raised - by the whole community working together to help the housebuilder. And how special to be able to look at part of your home and say 'that was builty by my friend' or 'that was donated by my cousin'. I loved her collection of spoons, all made by different friends and how it means she can choose 'who to have dinner with' each day.

She is so smart, at any age, but especially for 25 to realize that she doesn't have to have all new things in her build to have a beautiful home. By doing that she has built herself a very lovely home unique as she is. She is a very smart young woman.

      Curtain would work. I had that in a cottage I lived in and also in a caravan. Easy to clean too as you just wash it, even though it's incredibly rare anyone even wipes down a bathroom door with disinfectant so even better. Although composting toilet so no germs and bacteria flung out around the room as you have with a flushing toilet. 😊

      It used to be that family and community were very involved in building your home. Sometimes it seems that advancements in technology (I love tech BTW) has come at a cost of interaction with family and community.
      A lot of people don't have the skills or family/friend help that she does but it doesn't take away the value of having your own home and living affordably. She choose a tiny house over a larger one that she would have needed a large mortgage to buy. I think that speaks highly of her to desire to live smaller and be as economical as she could while building her home.
      I am happy for anyone who is able to get a home, especially when they do not get a mortgage. I wish I had her opportunities, however, I am not jealous about it. I want to own my own home at a price I can afford, but I don't think badly about those who have gotten theirs. I applaud what she has accomplished in her young life and wish her well.

    I think this is my favorite Tiny House so far. Every single one makes sense for the person but this one feels like everything was repurposed and completely sustainably made. I love that.
