Shelby and her husband decided to downsize into a tiny home after the frustration of paying for a hefty mortgage on their home. Living in a tiny house community in California has allowed them to reduce their payments and enjoy more time not working!
The house was a floor plan from Shaye’s Tiny Homes (in Australia) that was built by Tiny Topanga stateside. It’s an amazing design that allows for a stand-up loft bedroom and custom office space. What do you think?

I have to admit, that’s a very clever office space especially with the swivel chair. Smart! All the rest is lovely, too.
