This is the story of Jelena’s tiny house sanctuary in Serbia that she and her ex-husband built for less than 5,000 euros.
It has thus far cost them about 3,000 euros to build and they still need about another 1,500 to complete it.
This tiny house is Jelena’s little retreat to be at peace and recharge.

Everything you need, though without all the fancy kitchen goods like big ovens and fridges, and obviously liveable even if unfinished. The €3000 is the icing on the cake, and €1500 to finish would, among other things, get you a good working oven and fridge though maybe basic.
Wow! what a view! I love the use of beautiful wood furniture in the kitchen. The whole house is wonderfully arranged and looks very comfortable and cozy. Great job!
