DIY-building your own tiny home from scratch can be a romantic proposition but often falls short when it comes time to frame the home, swing the hammer, or troubleshoot electrical issues.  Without a doubt, the tiny house movement has its roots in the DIY-minded individual.
The goal was simple: build a budget-friendly, tiny house and live the minimalist lifestyle. Unfortunately, the results were often subpar, low quality, and outright dangerous. We've seen countless homes that have fallen apart in transit, collapsed, or worst of all, resulted in a fire. Truth told, unless you're an experienced craftsman or general contractor, using a professional tiny house builder like Modern Tiny Living should be the only option. Working with a professional tiny house builder offers several safety and design advantages compared to attempting a DIY tiny house build. Here are some reasons why it's beneficial to work with a professional:

Fear not! The 1-minute walkthrough of this beautiful new Modern Tiny Living tiny home is ready for viewing. Grab your popcorn (well...as much as you need for a minute), and enjoy this quick walkthrough of our beautiful new tiny house, Buttercup. Check out the specs and learn more about Buttercup here! Want to chat with Modern Tiny Living about your tiny home goals and aspirations? We're always available via email at contact@moderntinyliving.com. Let's start the conversation - life is short!  Introducing Modern Tiny Living's newest creation, the beautiful 24 ft. "Buttercup" tiny home.
Buttercup is built upon our ever-popular Kokosing model, with its full kitchen, full bath, sleeping loft, high-top work/eat nook, and swiss-army-knife social area. Highlights start with the beautiful color theme, featuring tranquil green cabinetry and stained wood accents. Gorgeous LVT flooring and corian countertops complete the look. Not only that, but you'll notice that this customer elected to forego the Kokosing Deluxe option, which bumps out the trailer and adds an elevated social area for additional storage. In this case, the customer decided that the extra storage and seating was unnecessary, and elected to save some significant cash. We love working with customers that understand their priorities and adjust accordingly! We just wrapped up delivery of this beautiful tiny house on wheels to Kentucky, where Buttercup will live out its days as a beautiful weekend warrior tiny home. Buttercup's final price was around $86,000. Check out the Buttercup Photo Gallery Here Specifications Trailer: 24 ft.

 Let it be known that Trent and the Modern Tiny Living team will do whatever it takes to get your brand new tiny home positioned exactly how you want it! In this case, Coastal Modern was to be used as an ADU deep in the back yard of this existing home in Santa Monica, California, so we did what we needed to do...we craned it on in there. Trent and the MTL team drove from Columbus, Ohio all the way to Santa Monica to deliver this home in person, and the results were spectacular. Another happy customer, ready to live the tiny house dream!  If you've ever wanted and up close and personal look at Modern Tiny Living's founder, Trent Haery, then you're in luck. Trent was recently interviewed on The Tiny House Experts Podcast, and he shares the stories, victories, trials, and tribulations of building the USA's leading tiny house company, Modern Tiny Living.
Want to get a better feel for our newest luxury tiny home on wheels? Here's the quick 1 minute walkthrough of Coastal Modern. Enjoy!
 Introducing Coastal Modern, a gorgeous 24 ft. custom tiny home designed and built by our team at Modern Tiny Living. Coastal Modern is a very unique home. It's owner, Leah, dreamt of having a tiny home in the backyard of her home to be used as an ADU (accessory dwelling unit) for friends and family. We built Coastal Modern to be the perfect guest house, with plenty of luxury design touches. The designer kitchen area for Coastal Modern is stunning. Since the home is used as an ADU, a fully-equipped luxury kitchen was unnecessary. However, we still have a full-sized refrigerator/freezer and gorgeous farmhouse sink so guests have the essentials - cold drinks and clean plates. There are a few plug-in cooking appliances available, but those remain stowed during the day. Completing the look is gorgeous custom cabinetry and spectacular quartz countertops. Across from the kitchen is the retractable table, perfect for working from home, journaling, or brunch. A pass-through window makes indoor/outdoor living for guests easy as pie. The table stows quickly and easily should guests require more storage space, or if they simply desire more elbow room in the home. The full bath in Coastal Modern maintains a small footprint, but enjoys a boutique hotel feel. It features a custom tiled shower with honeycomb and subway tile, black hardware, and a glass half-door. Very attractive. The full bath also features a small sink and an incinerating toilet. Last but not least, the custom stairwell - which always features gobs of storage and cubbies - leads to a king-bed loft, which includes a custom bookcase privacy wall for those that need to sleep in while others are cooking up breakfast. All told, Coastal Modern is a beautiful, simple tiny home that exemplifies Modern Tiny Living's ability to customize a home for its customers' intended real-world priorities and uses.
As one of our custom tiny homes, Coastal Modern would start at $99,000. Check out the entire Coastal Modern photo gallery here Specifications Trailer: 24 ft.
