She Built This Tiny Home From a Childhood Dream
You know how some ideas stick with you forever?
That was the case for Rebecca.
As a kid, she used to sketch little houses and dream about building one someday.
Years later, those sketches turned into a real tiny home in Maine.
And she didn’t do it alone.
Her family cheered her on the whole way.
A Tiny Home That Took Its Time
The house is 24 feet long and 8.5 feet wide.
Just the right size for one person.
Comfortable enough for two.
Rebecca worked on it from 2022 through 2024.
No rushing.
Just steady progress, one step at a time.

Designed to Feel Good Inside
Rebecca cared a lot about how the space feels.
She wanted easy movement.
Plenty of natural light.
Nothing tight or awkward.
The style is a cozy mix of colonial Dutch cottagecore and soft Mediterranean touches.
Warm.
Inviting.
The kind of place you want to slow down in.
Storage That Actually Makes Sense
In a tiny house, storage matters.
So Rebecca got creative.
There’s storage under the seating cushions.
A simple coat rack by the door.
Open shelves for herbs and spices.
Everything is easy to reach.
Nothing feels overdone.
Keeping Warm Through Maine Winters
If you’re building in Maine, heat is a big deal.
Rebecca chose a wood stove as the main heat source.
It’s efficient and cozy.
Perfect for cold nights.
She also added a propane heater for extra backup during deep winter.
Smart move.
A Kitchen With Personality
The kitchen has a lot of charm.
A big farmhouse sink sits front and center.
The countertops are made from locally sourced cedar, which adds warmth and character.
Rebecca even customized her propane oven.
It works great.
And it looks good too.
Small Appliances, Thoughtful Choices
Instead of oversized appliances, Rebecca went small.
A mini fridge.
A high-quality cooler.
Simple choices that fit the space without sacrificing function.
That balance really shows.
A Bathroom Built to Fit
The bathroom took some problem-solving.
Rebecca built much of it herself.
There’s a composting toilet to keep things efficient.
And the shower?
Surprisingly roomy.
She tweaked the dimensions until everything felt just right.
Using What Was Already There
One of my favorite parts?
The reused materials.
A window made from glass salvaged from an old building.
Natural branches turned into a railing.
It all fits the tiny house spirit perfectly.
A Loft Made for Quiet Moments
The loft feels peaceful.
There’s a skylight above, which brings in beautiful light.
And stars at night.
Hidden cubby storage keeps things tidy.
It’s a cozy place to rest.
Or just sit and think.
Built With Heart
This tiny home was built with a lot of love.
And patience.
And creativity.
Rebecca hopes it continues to bless whoever lives in it next.
Honestly?
You can feel that care in every corner.
