More Seniors are Downsizing into Tiny Homes at Retirement

February 22, 2020 by Good Living Guide. This post may contain affiliate links. 2 Comments

All over the country, seniors are declaring their independence by moving into tiny homes that give them personal and financial freedom.

In one hilarious promo, Uber and Johnsonville are celebrating this trend by highlighting the feisty “Sausage Nonnas,” three Italian grandmothers who cook, travel and socialize in their tiny homes.

Music and Meaning

Adele Smith is a retired music teacher who moved from a 1,300 square foot house in Tennessee to a farm in Oregon. Her sister owns the farm, and she invited Adele to build her dream tiny house on it. Doing so allows Adele to live comfortably on her retirement income.

Her tiny house is charming and cozy, but the best feature is its back deck with a large, comfortable hot tub.

“It feels like a little piece of heaven to me,” she says.

A Whole New Plan

Michelle Boyle married twice, divorced twice and then realized she had no house, no retirement income and no plan for the future. In a sharp-witted and inspiring interview, she talks about first building a tiny house to live in and later building additional tiny houses to rent out.

Her tiny house features a large, airy kitchen with genuine vintage appliances and lots of clothing storage.

“A lot of people sacrifice their kitchens and clothes in a tiny home,” she says, “but I wanted to show that you can go into a tiny home and still be stylish.”

Living Large In a Tiny Home

These ladies are living life to the fullest in their tiny homes. Have you ever thought about downsizing to a tiny house?

Tiny houses are creating a big fuss. When you see Elsa, you’ll understand why anyone would ditch their big, bulky home to live in this sweet tiny house that features its own tiny greenhouse.

It’s Petite Perfection

Elsa is the name of this house, which is built and sold by Olive Nest Tiny Homes. Elsa is 323 square feet of petite perfection.

Elsa’s upgrades are worthy of homes that cost many times more. They include cherry stair treads, quartz countertops, a full-sized top-of-the-line oven range, cedar siding, Andersen windows and Pergo flooring.

The style is light, bright and whitewashed. The house gets tons of light from 14 double-paned windows.

A Piece of Art You Can Live In

Olive Nest Tiny Homes is a family-owned company based in Greer, South Carolina. Designer Melodie Aho told Elle Décor in an interview, “We’re a small company and we do about one house a year. We sell only what’s already built, and we think of each design as a piece of art that you can live in.”

This exquisite tiny house was featured on season 6 of the popular TV show Tiny House, Big Living.

How Does It Fit a Greenhouse?

Elsa is actually a two-structure tiny house. When it’s set up, it includes a 28-foot trailer as a separate attachment. The trailer holds a porch with a porch swing and the beautiful greenhouse.

What About Storage?

You’ll be amazed at how much storage is available in such a small space. Here are some examples:
