After her husband suddenly passed away, Melody decided it was time to downsize and cut her expenses. She found the perfect Tiny Home, which she lovingly named her Tiny Castle, and now lives in a Tiny House Village surrounded by other like-minded people. Her expenses were also slashed and she no longer has to worry about financials.

  • I love how Melody decorated her place. Its adorable and definitely does not look cramped or tiny. It looks perfect.

  • It’s really sad she lost her husband after 40 years, but she looks like she’s thriving in her new community and home. It’s really cosy and nicely decorated 🤍 I’m sure her husband is looking down on her being so proud

  • Her home is lovely and she has made some very smart decisions. In downsizing the interior "stuff" that I have seen so many people clutter up their homes with, her home actually looks "big". One of the reasons why this place looks so beautiful is that she has been purposeful about the interior decorating. Just lovely!

  • What a beautiful home!! I like when Melody said "When you widowed, divorced or separated and if like you are out on your own, you are not on your own, don't think of it as a challenge think of it as an adventure." I will remember this as I am going through a separation. Thank you Melody! I'm glad Melody got the support she needed after the loss of her husband.

  • Melody, I think you have the perfect tiny house. I'm also (under) 5' tall and your choice of a (very comfy looking) twin bed makes such sense to me. I've slept in a twin for years (I'm 65) and it's always seemed more than enough (and easier to make up, wash bedding, etc). You have done such a beautiful job decorating your tiny. I wish you a long healthy wonderful life there at ITH.

    • I feel the same. The house is beautiful but the area looks is barren and reminds me of the old row house neighborhoods. Much to cramped and no privacy. That area of TN is gorgeous and one should hope for more space. There are tiny home communities in the GA mountains that are lush with larger lots. Not to,keen on hearing my neighbor's toilet flushing.😢
