    As an introvert who needs their own space I absolutely love the idea of separate tiny homes. I've loved the idea of tiny homes for years but could never imagine living in such a small space with someone else, this however would make it doable.

      I fully agree. I’m truly dreading giving up my sanctuary to live with someone else, even though that someone is a man I love.

    I used to say that the best thing for a marriage would be a duplex...one side for each partner. I'm thinking that this is an even better idea. Before my hubby passed we had separate bedrooms because he was ill and snored like crazy, and I still had to get up for work and needed to sleep! It worked really great for us, but there was always a "friend" who seemed devastated that we didn't sleep in the same bed every night! Our relationship was so wonderful, and I miss him every day.

I'd still want to sleep with my hubby every night and he agrees, but a separate space for guests would be nice.

      I've seen the use of cubbies as the bed foundation, stacked side by side for long cubes, her mattress fit on top perfectly. Store bought, the put together furniture place we all know. I would have never checked Etsy, but I need under bed storage (doing an RV Reno, permanently installed plumbing. Found myself solo at 63, I never got to sing, "when I'm 64"!!! Buy this 10 x 35 ft 1 bed with (tip outs, now called slides) There is no head room for much raising of anything. I bought non woven type fabric drawers, as I didn't need to support anything, just to find what would fit. I came home in a mini monsoon last night, still in the car! Headed out before it starts again today..... hoping they fit.

      After living in 350 sq ft, I had a glass room aka the sauna. It serves more as storage during construction on the main home, I insulated and darkened from the sun, then installed my A/C, my living space, when complete will be 630 sq ft. Buying this project was a necessity for a roof over my head. I also learned, by the tiny house rule of thumb, under 399 sq ft was NOT going to work for me and my STUFF! Furniture passed on from relatives, especially. I have my parents bedroom suite, big clunky traditional 70's stuff. I'm repurposing the armoire into a TV stand. Then nightstand, never fitting next to the bed will become an end table in the living space. Having fun making what I have useful, or making it so!!! (The water in the sunroom last night is not to be talked about here..... Another post!

      You spend most of your life accumulating the stuff, and then it takes years to get rid of all of it, especially when you end up with belongings from other relatives who passed away. I could easily have 2 to 3 homes I have so much "treasure". I don't want to just chuck a lot of my stuff as a lot of it is pretty nice, so trying to sell or give away the best of it and it is taking much longer than I thought. My house looks like the back room at the Salvation Army.

    Apart from having a bit more expenses, this double tiny for a couple looks close to perfect. Nobody has to sacrifice anything in terms of space, independence, design, hobbies and quirks. I suspect a much better set up for, like they say, mature couples, who have passed the lovey dovey stage in their relationships. Yet it allows them companionship and the closeness of someone they trust, and enjoy spending a lot of peaceful and quality time with. Another plus point is if one is a snorer, you can even sleep separately!
    Love both the tinys but am slightly more biased to the husband's space. Industrial and sleek yet feels mystical with his quirky collections, love it!

    This is so ideal for older folks getting together later in life. It's harder to combine when you're older. This would be ideal for me, but I would want our own property on adjacent lots that we own.
    I have concerns of moving into someone else's property... If he dies before me, would his offspring contest the homesite and me getting kicked to the curb. This way, I'd have my own house with no worries of being left homeless. Hopefully, we both live to be 100 and healthy.

    My male best friend and I wanted to do this, we ranked about it for years but he had to take care of his mom. Unfortunately shortly after his mom died and before he could retire a severe medical issue resulted in his having to live in a long term medical care facility. We used to dream of having 2 tiny homes connected by breezeways to a building in between them to serve as a kitchen, family room, a guest bedroom area and a bathroom. If we both sold our properties we could've done it. The mid section was for when family visited or could've served as an airbnb when not in use by visitors. I still think it was a good idea. I have to help my 89 year old mom now, don't know what's going to happen. I'm not free to move. I still dream of tiny house living in the country but close to a town. I want chickens and a garden. I'm happy for this couple and I think separate homes with shared spaces is a great idea!

    My mother and her partner have been together since 1989 and have both kept their own homes. They have travelled extensively together around the world and also within Australia in their caravan but they always go home at the end to their own places. And that’s why it has worked so well, she can decorate any way that she likes and he can do nothing as he doesn’t really care and it suits them both. He travels down every Tuesday for dinner and stays the night and also Saturday night and all of Sunday. I know at least for my mum, it’s the only way to do it. You still both have your own space and they are both fit and well and in their 80’s now but the routine is always the same, and he is a very loved member of our family, as mum is within his as they have been together for so long. I personally think that it’s the only way to be with someone without going insane. Well done, great idea!

Some of their 26' models are very reasonable. I would buy one if I decided to live tiny. We designed and ordered a modular from New Era in PA. 980 square feet for our land in NH. Our mortgage is half their park rent. So its all personal preference. Speaking of personal, I like the idea of carving two personal spaces. I am an artist and could definitely use a She Shed!
