my tiny home 🏠
Welcome to what I used to call my tiny house with the little red door.
That’s exactly what this place was, it had the appeal of a tiny home with one shared wall and a neighbor! I loved it so much, and I miss it all the time.
It came with your backyard, fenced up and ready for your dogs to enjoy.
My boyfriend and I at the time , we’re living in Chandler, Arizona— we decided to do the move to Flagstaff, Arizona and I’ve got to say that I’m so happy that we.
it didn’t end the way I hoped but living there for a year taught me a few things.
- be grateful to live with your partner. Having someone around to do the hard things with but who is also your hot best friend feels really relieving.
I loved my partner in crime, nothing felt to hard with the both of us tackling it.
- enjoy the days you have while planning for the future.
Work is almost inevitable at this point, you can’t avoid needing money and a place to live. So you’ll probably have to work; without that being said, enjoy your days. Go outside, take that walk in the rain, sit on the grass for a couple minutes.
You’re not too busy for any of it, one day you’re gonna wish you had.
- Having a backyard is elite.
This is personal , but I am such a private person; a bit of an introvert but that doesn’t mean I don’t like being in the crowds too sometimes. It’s a bit of a mix ! Those days that I don’t feel like going out, but I still wanna spend time outside— no cares I just go to my backyard.
Its the perfect getaway.
-living by a view makes it easier to get up in the morning.
I struggled a long time with high cortisol levels and anxiety, most mornings lead into a panic attack and a bunch of stomach pains.
After moving to Flagstaff, while I was still having some panic attacks I really learned how to manage and control my body, and thoughts just by connecting with the view around me. It was easy to look at a mountain, and suddenly my problems felt small.
The trees were so tall, and comparatively, my thoughts just felt insignificant to the beauty of the world.
I always remember how fun it was living in a place that really did feel like a house. I felt like a little homeowner, but without all that stress.
Yes, it was.. but I still feel that it was perfect.
Scenery was top par and I miss the mountains. Flagstaff will forever feel like a home.
What’s your best memory of “home”.

Many of you might be dreaming of a true tiny house, perhaps even a charming tiny farmhouse cottage or one with a clever loft exterior. While my Flagstaff home technically wasn't a standalone 'tiny house,' it truly embodied that spirit, and I learned so much from my time living there. My place was a semi-detached duplex, but with its own little red door and that incredible fenced backyard, it felt perfectly self-contained. The joy of having a private outdoor space, as confirmed by the 'Backyard too!' in my photos, was immense – perfect for my dogs and for those days I just wanted to be outside without leaving home. This feature alone fulfilled a huge part of the 'tiny home universe' dream for me, offering a personal sanctuary. Even with a 'shared wall,' the sense of privacy and coziness was unparalleled. What made it feel so much like a 'tiny home' experience was how every inch felt intentional. Even in a compact kitchen and living area, we made it our own, focusing on functionality and comfort over excess. This minimalist approach, often associated with tiny houses, was incredibly freeing. The beauty of Flagstaff, AZ, truly amplified this feeling. Waking up to views of majestic mountains, under those 'beautiful blue skies,' as seen in many of my pictures, made daily life feel like a retreat. I remember seeing '7 deer while walking,' a constant reminder of how connected we were to nature, and experiencing 'rainbows after rain showers' right from my window. It truly felt like every direction I looked, I saw something incredible. If you're considering a 'tiny home' experience, whether it's a dedicated tiny house or a smaller rental like mine, think about the lifestyle it offers. It’s not just about the size; it’s about simplifying, embracing your surroundings, and finding joy in the smaller things. My red-doored sanctuary in Flagstaff taught me that you don't always need a vast estate to feel truly at home and connected to the world around you. It's about how you fill the space with experiences, not just things, and how a smaller footprint can lead to a richer life. For anyone looking into 'tiny homes Flagstaff AZ,' I can wholeheartedly say the combination of compact living and stunning nature is a game-changer!
