In Tiny House Nation season 1 episode 7, titled "150 Sq. Ft. Mobile Bachelor Pad," host John Weisbarth and renovation expert Zack Giffin visit Dallas, Texas to help a young man create his dream mobile home. The client, Tim, is a musician who spends most of his time on tour. He wants a comfortable and functional home that can also fit his musical equipment.
The team faces quite a challenge as they have only 150 square feet of area to work with. They decide to maximize the space and create a loft-style bed that can be converted into a stage for Tim's performances. The loft is accessed via a removable ladder that can be stored out of the way when not in use.
The living area is smartly designed to double as a cozy seating area and storage space. The couch is built onto the wall and folds out to create extra sleeping space. The team also installs a custom-built desk that can be used for working on music or as a dining table.
The kitchen area features a small refrigerator and microwave, as well as a compact two-burner stove. The sink is compact and features a handmade copper basin. The team also includes a small bar area with a wine rack that doubles as a guitar holder.
The bathroom is also compact and features a small sink, toilet, and a shower that is cleverly installed under the stairs leading up to the loft. The team even manages to include a custom-built closet that can house all of Tim's clothes and equipment.
Throughout the episode, the team faces challenges like the weather, as Dallas experiences a significant amount of rainfall during the renovation. However, they managed to complete the project successfully, and Tim is thrilled with his new mobile home.
In summary, Tiny House Nation season 1 episode 7 showcases the team's remarkable ability to create a fully functional living space within a small area. The team's creativity and attention to detail are impressive as they work through challenges and create a unique mobile bachelor pad for their client. The episode is a must-watch for anyone looking for inspiration on how to downsize and live comfortably in a small space.
