Suzanne downsized from 1,700 sq ft to 399 sq ft and made some big changes in her life. Not only did she downsize but she found a life of simplicity and alignment.

Moving into a smaller home is always a challenge but Suzanne has made the transition easier by finding a community that she loves. Village Farm is a small community located in Austin. It is built around an organic farm. The residents swap homemade meals and also volunteer in shared garden spaces.

Suzanne’s tiny house features high ceilings, a loft and lots of smart storage. Outside it has two porches which make her home seem larger and is a great place to visit with others in the community.

Her kitchen is a special place for her and she has a dishwasher and many builtins to make it her own. Her kitchen even includes a functional pantry. Suzanne’s counter doubles as a dining table and home office.

Her home features a queen size bed and her downstairs bedroom area is quite comfortable with a dresser and plenty of storage.

Suzanne is a writer who focuses on simplicity, she recently published a book titled Beyond Decluttering: 40 Days to Experiencing Simplicity Through Connection. (affiliate link)

Suzanne needed a fresh start and her tiny home feels expansive and not confining. At 60 this is just what she needed.
