In Tiny House Nation season 2 episode 8, we take a glimpse into the life of a couple in Florida who are looking to downsize and simplify their life by building a solar-powered tiny home. The couple, who are both artists, have a vision of creating a small, sustainable and eco-friendly studio where they can live and work.
The couple calls in expert builders and hosts John and Zach to help them create a 340 sq. ft. masterpiece. With just their small dog and a love of art, living a minimalist lifestyle is something they are looking forward to achieving. Builders John and Zach soon realize that with such a small space, every inch counts and creativity is key.
The couple has a vision of having a home off-the-grid, and the builders have to work to install solar panels and other sustainable features. They also add some personal touches to the home, such as a murphy bed that doubles as an art piece and curtains made from repurposed fabric.
Despite the many challenges, the finished product is an outstanding, functional and trendy tiny home. The exterior features eye-catching accents of natural wood and metal siding, that make it look like an art piece itself. The inside is bright and airy, featuring skylights that let in tons of natural light and a strategic use of space.
One of the most impressive things about the tiny home is how the builders were able to create walls that double as storage. The limited space in the home now smartly stores all the couple's possessions. There is also an impressive amount of storage outside, in the form of under-home storage and outside cabinets.
The homeowners are thrilled with the end result, it is not just a home but has become a functional workspace for their art, something they are passionate about. They are also excited about the prospect of less waste, and the sustainable practices now incorporated into their everyday life.
In summary, Tiny House Nation season 2 episode 8 showcases a tiny home build that is sleek, functional, and eco-friendly. It's a reminder that it's not the size that matters. It's the love and energy that goes into creating a space of one's own. It's a must-see episode for anyone considering downsizing and or making their home more sustainable.
