Emily, her husband, her child, her dog, and four cats moved from a 2000sf home to a 325sf tiny house. They never were happier and found freedom from debt and freedom to do the work their heart desires.

 

Can you imagine moving your family from a 2000 sf house to a 325 sf tiny house? Emily Gerde and her husband could. And they did. In many ways, that was a radical act.

Emily didn't grow up dreaming of living in a very small house some day. On the contrary, she followed what many might call the American dream: Go to College, fall in love, get married, buy a house, and have a child.

Sounds great, right? Can you see the happy family in their big house, relaxing, entertaining and in general having a good time?

Well, the reality for Emily and her husband were working two jobs each, and him going to Grad-school on top of it. They hardly ever saw each other and didn't have any time to enjoy their house or yard.

Emily's health started to suffer. Being busy and stressed all the time manifested a hyperactive Thyroid.

Then, one day, Emily's sister in law introduced them to the concept of the tiny house.

Their ears perked up and right then and there, Emily and her husband decided to find out more.

Luck had it that they were able to visit a tiny house not too far away from them.

That visit sealed the deal. They loved the tiny house from the minute they stepped inside. It didn't feel small or cramped or claustrophobia-inducing.

On the contrary. That tiny house felt like a home to them. Comfortable. Like a place that they could live in.
