In a TikTok, she revealed that after spending $20,000 and a little elbow grease, they were able to turn their “disgusting trailer” into their “lovely little home.”
When the couple first bought the home, they realized they had to do a full renovation, basically gutting the entire thing.
The video showed them replacing the floors, adding new walls, and repainting the entire place.
Plus, the tiny home got a brand new deck that they built themselves.
When the makeover was complete, it was revealed that the tiny home got a brand-new kitchen, a renovated yard, new cabinetry, and more.
The couple said that the remodel came with “lots of stress, patience, and faith.”
WHAT IS A TINY HOME?
A tiny home is a much smaller, more cost-effective type of living offered in many ways.
Tiny homes can be converted from old shipping containers, buses, and planes.

While there are many to choose from, the most common tiny homes come in two forms: ones built on wheels, and ones built on a foundation.
The trend has been exploding as traditional homes sell for over $350,000, while tiny homes can roughly cost between $20,000 to $100,000.
Just note that state-by-state regulation typically changes where many tiny homeowners cannot own the land their house sits on.
Plus, tiny houses must be built to code, following many of the same safety restrictions as larger, more traditional homes.
WHERE TO BUY
Folks can buy tiny home kits at nearly every hardware store like Home Depot, Lowe's, and even Walmart.
Just be sure to check with your local permit authority before placing your order, as states and cities may have laws for tiny homes.
