Ep 8. Going Tiny In Music City

In Tiny House Nation season 6 episode 8, titled "Going Tiny In Music City," hosts John and Zack head to Nashville, Tennessee to help a young couple build their dream tiny home. The couple, who are both musicians, are looking to downsize their lifestyle without sacrificing their love of music or space to practice.

The hosts begin by touring the couple's current living space, a 700 square foot apartment that is overflowing with musical instruments and equipment. John and Zack are tasked with building a tiny home that not only fits within their budget of $65,000, but also provides enough space for the couple to comfortably live and practice music in.

To begin the build, John and Zack take the couple to tour a tiny home builder's warehouse, where they can see a variety of tiny house options, as well as get a better understanding of the space-saving techniques that will be utilized in their own home. The couple is able to pick out certain design elements that they love, such as a sliding barn door and built-in storage solutions.

Next, the hosts bring the couple to a trailer manufacturing company to select the perfect trailer for their tiny home. The trailer is a crucial component in any tiny house build, as it must be sturdy enough to support the weight of the structure while also being small enough to meet road regulations.

With the trailer secured, it's time to begin the actual build. The couple has requested a home that is rustic and modern, with lots of natural wood and clean lines. John and Zack work closely with the couple to design a space that meets all of their needs and preferences, while still staying within their budget.

Throughout the episode, viewers are given an inside look at the tiny house building process, including how the hosts tackle tricky design challenges and how they incorporate the couple's personal style into the overall design. They also discuss the environmental benefits of tiny homes, as well as the challenges that come with downsizing and simplifying one's lifestyle.

Ultimately, the young couple is thrilled with their new home, which includes a lofted bedroom, a spacious kitchen, and a cozy living area complete with a fireplace and plenty of shelving for their musical instruments. The home is also designed with plenty of windows to let in natural light and provide beautiful views of the surrounding countryside.

"Going Tiny In Music City" is a heartwarming and inspiring episode of Tiny House Nation, showcasing how a small space can still provide all of the comfort and functionality of a traditional home. Viewers will be inspired by the couple's commitment to downsizing their lifestyle while still pursuing their passion for music, and will leave the episode with a newfound appreciation for the potential of tiny homes.
