After her divorce, woman starts new life by embracing tiny house lifestyle and finds happiness

Currently, Jen’s tiny house is nestled on a plot of land where she pays a monthly fee of $725. This comprehensive payment covers amenities like parking space, internet access, water, and electricity.

Inside Jen’s tiny home has all the things she loves. Her kitchen is her favorite among the various corners of her home, and she sometimes calls her house a “tiny kitchen on wheels.”

Jen’s decision to embrace the tiny house lifestyle was primarily driven by her desire to create her dream kitchen on a smaller scale. Despite its compact size, Jen’s kitchen boasts impressive storage, often leaving visitors in awe.

Initially, Jen had planned to incorporate butcher block countertops into her design. However, after thoughtful consideration, she opted for the elegance and craftsmanship of quartz. This choice aligned with the aesthetic she had envisioned for her kitchen.

One standout feature of the countertop is its built-in round table, serving as a multifunctional space where Jen dines and works. As a full-time remote worker, having an area dedicated to storing her essentials—a printer and a computer—was paramount to Jen.

The architect suggested incorporating open shelving to set the mood and infuse a farmhouse theme into her kitchen. This not only added a touch of charm but also allowed Jen to display her glassware collection.

Beneath the shelving is a kitchen sink made of fire clay, complemented by an off-grid propane stove across from it.

One aspect that Jen truly cherishes about her kitchen is the abundant natural light that floods the space. Numerous windows adorn the walls, allowing sunshine to bathe her home throughout the day.

As a result, Jen rarely needs to rely on artificial lighting until the sun sets, creating an atmosphere of warmth and serenity.

Jen’s tiny house features solar-powered skylights that can easily open or close via a convenient remote control.

The storage at the stairs going to her bedroom, she said, is the most functional pantry she had ever seen, as it allows her to get to the back through its pull-out shelves. Underneath it is ample storage for all her shoes.
