    Cutting the legs off the couch and keeping the top then adding storage below is BRILLIANT; I definitely want to remember that for my tiny house-sounds like the perfect marriage of a built-in with storage and regular comfort of a couch.

    Super smart use of space. What a clever idea to cut the legs off the couch and desk - to give the look of normal home living. I understand the need for a bookshelf and live that you've used a sleeve door for same. The raised bed is genius. Bravo guys. Enjoy!! 😁 Emily Liberty the Aussie.

      make it a try it and see venture with an exit clause if one of you absolutely hates it you might be surprised it may end up being your husband totally sold on it after trying it out and you absolutely hating it. Anyway if your husband doesnt feel like its a forever thing just an exciting adventure he might warm to the idea. Oh and maybe dont call the bus a cutesy name ....to begin with ;))

All the folks you interview have such pleasure in their journeys, yet watching these newbie’s interweaving words is very special. This is their brand, spanking new baby and they're just getting used to its special traits. Excellent layout and Kudos on the bookcase!! Lots of fun now and to come. Love that Penny is withholding her opinion until this new home has proven itself to her! You go, Penny!
    And, Jenna, it's great to have you as a new citizen in this wonderful State of Washington. I live just down the Sound a couple miles south of the Port of Tacoma, so a near neighbor. It will be fun to learn more about how you find living on beautiful Whidbey Island, especially in dealing with ferry schedules. Congratulations and best wishes!

And OMG that couch. Ppl dont actually use real furniture. Its not normal to sit on a slab of wood. And you have a real couch AND storage. Girl I'm so done. Lol. Amazing. AAANNDD the bed lifts?
