Divorced flight attendant downsizes, finds peace in her stunning custom tiny home

Living in a custom tiny home isn’t just about having a small space; it’s a part of being you and showing off your style.

Having a tiny home that fits your personality perfectly is super awesome. It’s like having a space that is both useful and looks great, shouting out your uniqueness from every corner.

Imagine walking into your little sanctuary, where everything reflects what you love and care about. The walls are covered in art that speaks to your soul, shelves filled with your favorite books, and a cozy spot to read with lots of natural light – every part of your place is like a canvas telling your life story.

In the heart of New Zealand, a custom tiny home tucked among the trees is a peaceful escape.

This place is home to Deb, a flight attendant who swapped a big house for a small, snug one, capturing the charm of a Kiwi retreat.

The adventure into tiny living started when life threw a curveball, leading to a solo journey after a divorce.

With a big mortgage and an empty nest in front of her, living in a tiny house seemed calm. Inspired by YouTube and the thought of downsizing, this flight attendant found peace in the idea of a small home.

Deb also shared that her sister is actually her neighbor with her own tiny home, and having coffee in the morning is part of their routine.

It’s more than just coffee together; it’s like a support system where they help each other by cat-sitting and sharing their day-to-day experiences.

Both neighbors share a job – flight attendants who found the perfect balance in their dynamic lives through tiny living.

Locking up and leaving is a breeze, fitting right into their busy schedules and offering a peaceful spot to return to.

The revelation hit hard as the flight attendant thought about what she needed.

A huge five-bedroom house turned into a small 8m by 3m home, blending country simplicity with a touch of Kiwi charm.

The custom tiny home feels warm with its white weatherboard look, giving a nod to traditional Kiwi style.

Being eco-friendly is a big deal here with off-grid living. Solar panels power both houses, showing off their commitment to sustainability.

Water is precious, so they keep a close eye on weather patterns, celebrating rain as a welcome refill for the tank.

The outdoor area becomes a second living room with smartly placed screens. It’s a perfect spot to enjoy nature’s music on breezy nights or host friends during pleasant evenings.

Going inside breaks the stereotype of tiny homes. The place is light and airy, with a touch of femininity in the design.

Choosing soft colors, filtered light, and many windows make it spacious.

Living with two furry friends, the dweller prioritized their outdoor enjoyment.

A specially built catio provides a safe and fun space for the cats, blending indoor comforts with the beauty of the natural surroundings.

Stepping into the kitchen feels like a trip back in time with its delightful retro vibe and soft-colored Shaker cabinets.

The retro touch adds a unique flavor, while the pink door and gold accents combine the design.

The kitchen isn’t just pretty; it’s an intelligent mix of looks and practicality.

This custom tiny home is like a memory chest from the dweller’s travels.

Collected souvenirs find their place in a carefully chosen color scheme that came before the light fixtures.

Gold accents against a pink backdrop create a visually stunning and harmonious decor, showcasing the dweller’s unique style.

The bathroom is a little haven with a bath and a composting toilet. Having a bath was a must for Deb, adding a touch of luxury for those chilly nights.

While getting used to a composting toilet might take a while, it fits perfectly with the dweller’s commitment to sustainably living.

The sleeping loft isn’t just a cozy spot; it’s a storage genius. Unexpected spaces cleverly hide handbags, boots, and artwork.

The wallpaper in the loft isn’t just for looks; it ties in with the overall pink and gold theme that defines the decor.

In the simplicity of it all, this flight attendant hasn’t just found a tiny house; she’s found a peaceful retreat that echoes her soul.

The journey into Deb’s custom tiny home isn’t just about square footage; it’s about creating a space that feels like a part of you – a haven of self-expression among the New Zealand trees.
