Le’shaun’s Glamorous Cargo Trailer: DIY Tiny House with Velvet Couch and Chandelier

Le’shaun recorded the hit rap single “Doin’ It” with LL Cool J and got her first taste of tiny living on the tour bus she lived on while traveling the country. After years in a 2,700 square foot house where she lived with her daughter during her daughter’s pregnancy, she was ready for something different when her daughter moved out.

The self-proclaimed “undercover treehugger” DIYed a tiny house from a toy hauler/cargo trailer without sacrificing her style. A mini chandelier, velvet love seat, ghost chairs, and glamorous touches throughout reflect her personality and make her little space a home.

    I wonder how you will fare when you cannot buy fuel. I would hope you have pulled your lovely home into some mountain hideaway while it is possible.

    Classy! Wow, beautiful, just a perfect Zen space! Love your bathroom sink! Blue velvet, I was oo-ing and ah-ing, really nice! I wouldn’t trust a TV & refrig. outside (might get stolen), but awesome space with all the comforts of home. Beautiful outer wrap, very nice touches everywhere! I’m proud of all you accomplished in doing this! It’s empowering for others, thank you for sharing your wonderful place.
