Adelina has been living in her tiny house in Canada for 2 years and says it has only positively impacted her life. She downsized from a 1,200 square foot townhome into a 37' long tiny house built by Teacup Tiny Homes on a gooseneck trailer. Her three main requirements for the house included having a bedroom she could stand up in, a permanent home office space, and a big kitchen so she could cook for her friends and family.

Adelina was able to find a legal place to park her tiny house at a mobile home park because she worked with a CSA-certified builder and had the trailer registered as a park model. Without planning and researching in advance to make sure these things were in place, she would not have been able to find a legal spot to park. The rules are different in each municipality so it's important to ask around before you start building/buying your tiny house!

Tiny House Talk has a great list of communities that accept tiny houses here:

Serendipity is 37' long and 9.5' wide and has a functional layout and beautiful interior design. The living room is at one end of the house next to the entrance and has a vaulted ceiling, an electric fireplace, and a coat closet. The kitchen is u-shaped with loads of counter and storage space. In the hallway, there's a permanent home office space and a massive pantry for food storage. The bathroom has a combo washer-dryer and an RV-sized bathtub. And up a set of storage steps is the bedroom on the gooseneck of the trailer. It has big windows, a storage bed, and a big clothes closet. There's also a loft above the kitchen that could be converted into a guest room, and the space beneath the gooseneck is closed in to create a shed for things like a lawnmower and bicycles.

  • I think this house would have a lot of people go tiny. Definitely looks more “roomy”than most I’ve seen. I wish her luck in my jealousy!
  • @aldralee
    I appreciate that she’s honest about living in a mobile home park. There is such a disdain for traditional mobile homes (trailers = eww, poors; “tiny house on wheels” aka trailers = socially conscious downsizes! 🙄), so it’s refreshing to see a practical approach. It’s a lovely design. That kitchen is a dream and all that pantry space warms my home cook heart.
  • @muddyclothes
    I have seen so many tiny homes and the one drawback for me was always the crouch-down loft bedroom. I love your "stand-up-in" bedroom! Also the kitchen is perfect. I also love to cook! Your house is beautiful and so well designed for life in a cold climate.
  • @DeLaSoul246
    This is one of my favorite tiny houses I have ever seen 🤩 Ironically, so much out-of-the-box thinking is required to achieve this "normal" feel!
  • @borasca0107
    I've been watching and admiring tiny houses for a few years now, but this house is the first that I thought if I ever manage to get myself into a tiny house, this would be the only design I would want to live in. I love absolutely everything in here to the tiniest detail!
  • @slapnut892
    There's no denying just how well thought-out this house is. Good job.
  • @g-moe2rome383
    This is one of the best designed tiny houses I’ve seen. It’s extremely functional for long-term living (not just vacation), beautifully stylish, well-planned and customized.
  • that's one of the best looking, best designed tiny houses i've seen. They usually look so cramped...maybe it's the big kitchen. The materials look high quality also. I would love to know how much it cost.
  • I live in a tiny home and love it, but I have to say, the layout of Adelina's tiny house might just be the best I've ever seen. 💙
  • @BeeKay4444
    Really loved this layout and stoked that she is Canadian.
  • @annmariedemarco466
    I love your floor plan and everything in your home, your storage area, beautiful kitchen and how your bedroom is situated. If I ever went tiny, I would love a home like your beautiful home!
  • @diannehall1534
    Your tiny house is simply beautiful you made excellent choices.
  • @Ovni121
    She's very well organized and seems to know her stuff. Nice video!
  • @RTAV108
    This is hands down THE BEST LAYOUT of a tiny house! Totally unconventional .. no tunnel vision, no toilet adjacent to the kitchen, no cramped bench seating.. Two lofts with one being a perfectly normal bedroom with on suite! Everything looks so normal and not tiny! Hats off to the designer!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
  • @flyynsw
    Spectacular! This lady is completely fully utilised every inches of her home space into proper functioning living space! This homie vibe and passion is so far the best I have seen among all the tiny house tour videos.
  • This is the first Tiny House I've seen that I think I could actually live in. Most are ok for a vacation or camping trip, but this one is special!
  • @12Gaile
    I follow Adelina on utube & know her home from her tour & her videos. I love her home & Adelina is awesome & very responsive to her viewers. Thank you for featuring Adelina's home & showing her adorable Sofie !!!
  • @connie6545
    I love this house! It looks so well thought out, and I love the "tall" bedroom that is a walk-up. The storage under the goose neck is a plus--everything is so contained and efficient. Plus, the interior is so cozy and I can see it as a four season tiny house. 😊
