Tommy’s Tiny House

When you walk through the front door of my tiny house you see a little open space next to drawers and a bathroom. I left some open space right in the front of the house so that guests or the person living there has some room to walk in and kind of put stuff down if they want. These drawers are for really anything, but since they are relatively close to the bed, they are intended for things like clothes. Next to the drawers you have the bathroom. It is a small bathroom, but it has all the necessities. It has a shower that is curved to save space instead of having a standard square or rectangular shaped one. On either side of the shower are the sink and the toilet. There is plenty of space in the middle for someone to move around if they needed. The next room over is the “bed room.” this is in quotations because it really isn’t a room. It is a bed with two walls on either side as sort of privacy thing. It kind of keeps the bedroom cleaner by not having access to it from every angle of the house. Next is a small living room area with a TV and a coffee table used as a dining table because I personally think that you don’t need a dining room table. It is just a lot of wasted space. The kitchen area is next to that which as a large fridge and freezer, with an oven and stove. Next is a microwave and the faucet. Despite hours spent looking, I could not find a kitchen sink anywhere, but rather bathroom sinks which I guess could work better than nothing, so that’s why there’s a bathroom sink in my kitchen. I threw in spiral stairs to save space because it goes straight up rather than moving side to side. When you take the stairs upstairs you enter a spacious looking room. This is the office/hangout space. There is a desk an office chair for work and important things that need to get done. For stress relief or just hanging out there is a Foosball table and another TV and recliner couch. Next to the TV is a sliding door to a washer and dryer to save space and not have ugly washer and driers sitting out. There are also lots of windows to help with natural light that way you don’t need a lot of electrical lights.

Needs: Kitchen (appliances), bathroom, bed

I addressed these needs by putting in a refrigerator and freezer to store food which is a basic need. I addressed the need of a bathroom by putting in a place to bath wash and go to the bathroom. Although I could go outside it is much cleaner and more practical to have a bathroom inside. I also needed a bed to sleep on because in this day and age a place to sleep is a need and sleeping on the floor isn’t ideal.

Wants: TVs, reclining chairs, drawers, Foosball, washer and dryer, computer and desk

These are all things that I simply wanted in my tiny house to make my living space more ideal for me. I have TV’s because almost every person in America who owns a home owns a TV. I also wanted reclining chairs to relax. I have a Foosball table because it’s just something fun to do in the house. I realize I don’t need a washer, dryer, computer, and desk but I feel like it is very ideal and almost needed for a house now a days. I could use paper and pens, but almost every place to work requires you to have a computer. I could also wash clothes by hand and hang them on clothing lines, but that just isn’t something that happens anymore.
