Many people like having a big house with a permanent address to come home to, but many other people are realizing the appeal of having a mobile, and much tinier house to call home.
In 2014, Jordan Grigg decided to quit his full-time corporate job for a job as a professional golfer. Because he’d be moving around so much for tournaments, Jordan and his wife Brittany decided a 276-square-foot tiny home on wheels would be more suitable for their new nomadic life.
After some searching, the couple found the perfect camper that was light enough to tow yet tall enough to accommodate Jordan’s 6’5″ height. The only problem, however, was that the inside was dated, cramped, and wasn’t very inviting.
To make it feel more like a real home, the couple spent three months renovating the camper. “We started by taking down all the flooring and carpet, window coverings and original couch,” she told TODAY. “We painted everything white — it really brightened up the entire space, and made it feel much bigger than with the warm tones before.”
The camper got new floors, pillows, seat covers, and curtains to brighten up the space, and brought in a custom pantry and desk, as well as plenty of extra storage to utilize the small camper.
“We wanted to make sure we’d be staying really functional even with a lot less stuff. There’s not as much space, but it forces us to only keep what’s important and needed,” Brittany said.
