When it comes to talk of dream homes, many people envision mansions or other extravagantly expansive spaces.
Others, however, dream of something simple.
One New Zealand mom dreamt wildly of minimizing her material life in order to maximize her existence, and she’s made an incredible job of it.
Her tiny home is exemplary of making the most out of what you have and enjoying it in similar fashion.
Shayeâs Tiny Home
Shaye lives with her five-year-old daughter in this amazing tiny home on a lush garden property.
The home is actually a trailer on wheels that can be moved to any parking space.
In designing this home, Shaye incorporated the knowledge from her previous tiny home experience, plus building tiny homes for a living, which culminated in this astonishing home.
Shaye grew up a passionate diver.
Shaye grew up with a passion for diving when suffering from an eating disorder sidelined her.
She thought sheâd never compete again. But years later after surviving the eating disorder she got herself healthy again and realized her dream was still obtainable.
She began her second go as a competitive Springboard diver for New Zealandâs elite diving team.
Shaye is working hard to compete in the upcoming Olympics.
She turned her love into a business.
Shayeâs love of all things tiny home has lead her to open up a business building tiny homes.
Shayeâs Tiny Homes was born, and now builds homes for folks who are looking to simplify.
Shaye works with clients to create their homes with all the space-saving comforts they can imagine.
And she offers a signature unique style and interior design that really shows in her own home.
An open-concept kitchen design
The kitchen has full-sized appliances, plenty of storage space, and a beautiful wood sink.
A unique and practical design element is to put mirrors behind the top shelf storage.
Shaye says that mirrors can trick the mind into thinking thereâs more space than meets the eye.
The bathroom is luxuriously large.
Shaye says her bathroom is larger than some of the bathrooms sheâs had in the past.
Featuring two sinks, a tiled shower, and a composting toilet that tucks away in the cabinetry.
Itâs truly a masterful use of space.
The Bedrooms
Upstairs in the tiny home are the two bedrooms, joined by an open-air walkway.
Her daughterâs loft-style bedroom is on one side, and her own bedroom takes up the other wing.
The master bedroom features a raised bed platform that is actually the ceiling of the kitchen below.
The windows of both rooms open up to the living rooftop of the deck below.
She even incorporated a “living wall”.
A special feature of Shaye’s tiny home is the living wall. This wall is the true centerpiece of the home.
Lush green and flowering plants cascade down the wall to offer fresh air for the home and a stunning living work of art.
Bonus Room and Outdoor space
Attached to the home is a beautiful deck and a bonus room that cozies up to the trailer and can be accessed through an interior door as well as from the deck.
A recent addition was the outdoor bathtub, where you can bathe with the expansive garden as your view.
Youtubers are going gaga over this amazing home.
âThis is hands down the best layout I’ve ever seenâ

âKid friendly , a lot of sunlight. And a lot of spaceâ
—
âI’ve seen multimillion-dollar homes that aren’t as elegant and beautiful as this.â
