- Mobile Home Homemaking video! Welcome to my homemaking motivation video where I take you along with me as I work on my Tiny Kitchen! My old trailer is 455 square feet. To get my mobile home in better condition I had to do a renovation and makeover. My small mobile home may not be big but it feels larger because of how I set it up! This video is different from what I usually make like food pantry hauls but I do hope you enjoy it! I also have some frugal living tips in this video as I show you what life is like living in a small space. I hope you enjoy this day in the life of living in my office trailer. Living in a one bathroom trailer can be a challenge. I bought the best single wide I could afford. It needed a good old fashioned mobile home cleaning plus renovations. My renovation budget was too small to do the house design I wanted. Instead I put in endless hours of mobile home cleaning. I hope you enjoy my mobile home vlog! Plus we are going to Habitat for Humanity also known as the Restore!
Mobile Home Homemaking can be a work in progress!
My Singlewide Mobile Home is not big but it's a great opportunity to make the most out of what I have! My home decorating ideas for my living room is focused on furniture placement and colorful fabrics with patterns. I applied an interior design principle in my trailer that may not be obvious because I do not have the finest furnishings. I used symmetry! It works in any home on any budget. You can make a nice space for yourself, it takes creativity when your budget is low or non-existent.
MOBILE HOME HOMEMAKING & FRUGAL LIVING
It is a blessing to have a home that I can offer homemaking motivation videos to help you make the most out of what you have! In my mobile home spend the day with me you would find me tidying up and putting things in designated spaces. Mobile home homemaking means making the best home I can using what I got! I use fabric storage containers housing off-season items and supplies under the bed. This is one of my interior design tips for Storage so I can store items out of sight.
MOBILE HOME HOMEMAKING:
This video is a day in the life of mobile home living! One necessary step I must take is keep the floor space clear. I make my home look more neat and tidy by putting things away. When you live in a small home, try to utilize space the best you can so you can safely walk within your home. Create a defined pathway to avoid tripping. If you would see a mobile home clean with me then you'd find me clearing the path in my home, so I can safely walk around! The struggle is real and it's important to create a routine that works for you! My floors are down to the sub flooring. It may not be the prettiest but it's what I'm working with.
HOMEMAKING MOTIVATION
The space is a minimalist home tour but the amount of things I have do fill up the space quickly. I had to figure out how to maximize a tiny space. I make my space work for me and improve as I go. When I can, I upgrade items to better quality items.
Mobile Home Clean With Me
Keeping your floors clear will help your home feel large! Design your space with storage in mind so you can get the most out from your furniture. When I moved here, I had very little furniture, it took time to build up to what I have today.
FRUGAL LIVING
Living in a small singlewide mobile home has challenges. It would be easier if I had a "junk room" but I have to work with what I got. I have one closet housing a water heater. The closet has room to store items which I utilize to the max. Use what you've got, buy what you can, and make the most out of your home whether you live in an apartment, in a mobile home trailer or any other kind of home. You can make a nice home! Going to the thrift store and dumpster diving to decorate your home takes time, so give yourself plenty of room to be creative!
KITCHEN TOUR
In today's video I include a kitchen tour! I had fun making it and maybe will do more in the future. I hope you enjoy!

The next video will be released on Tuesday June 11th at 7 pm Eastern. Please turn on your notifications so you don't miss it! See you then!!!
You’re right. You have, only in my opinion, have twice as much furniture as you have space. Scaling down is painful and the results of doing it are so lovely and peaceful to cohabitate with. I too am having painful moments doing the job but I’m loving the results and I don’t miss the over crowding.
Decluttering is key to a useable space. I know, I need to do the same in my apartment.
Absolutely! Deciding what to keep and what to let go is important!
Hey Sarah, the Easter monkey is a lamb 😂😂😂 We're loving you're videos 🎉🎉🎉
Ha, it does make sense for it to be a lamb! I'm so glad you enjoy my videos. Thank you for watching!
Please tell us your story, what journey you had to be where you are now. Where were you born and raised, where are you now? How did you found your home, and the land where it sits? What career did you have, or do you have? Have you family? I enjoy your use of and appreciation of every little thing in your life; it really lifts my spirits.
I'm so glad to know my Channel makes you feel good! I may share my background story one day. To share a little right now, during the Pandemic, I was renting in the city. I was given less than 30 days notice to leave, and it was a stressful time. I'd never seen grocery store shelves so empty, it was scary not knowing what to expect. Adding the move on top, created more difficulty. Then enters my little trailer! I love my home. It was a hot mess when I got this place and I had a bare-bones renovation budget, so the minimum necessary repairs were done just to move my stuff inside. That's why I have a mini-fridge because that was the most affordable option. Since then, I have been making my home better the best I can. I've collected items from the dump, the thrift store, Habitat for Humanity and Amazon. I try to create a cozy home life that brings me comfort and joy. God has taken care of me all along the way!
@@CareFreeLivingChannel 💯
❤ so cozy 😊
God lead you to a safer place.
Great job on the home. Can you share if you work or retired.❤❤❤❤❤
I moved to a small senior apt n am constantly rearranging trying to get where i feel like i am finally home. I enjoy your channel n the way you are not afraid to move things around to suit yoyr lifestyle. I also bring things in n gift other things out once i figure out that they dont quite suite me. But it does take a bit of "sitting with it" n living with it to figure that out. I'm happy to find someone, you, who understands that n takes the time to share your adventures of making your house your home. Thank you.
Thank you very much for your kind words and understanding! I take my time to decide what works best for my space and lifestyle. I have a great opportunity to choose to keep the objects I love and to let go of things that I don't. Doing so is not a "get it done right away" type of project. I live with the furniture changes and learn if it works for me. If I wake up and feel good coming into the living room, then I know it's working. Thank you for watching my Channel. Have a wonderful day!
You made my day by showing Honey Bunny and her friends!
I like how your place is turning out.
😊❤
Thank you very much! The updates are so good to come home to. Now my space flows better. I'm glad you enjoy seeing Honey Bunny and Friends, they've become a part of the Channel!
I love that you continue to make tweaks to your home to make it more comfortable for you.
Thank you! I love to make my home better. These recent changes improved the feel and flow of my space. It feels good to come home!
Great video ! You were a busy lady! Looks awesome! Enjoy your weekend ! ~ Tink
Thank you, Tink! Yes busy setting up my space better. I just got some ideas that I had to try and see if it worked. I'm so glad I tried. It worked, yay! Have a great weekend, Tink!
Getting rid of things and freeing up space is a great feeling.
For sure! Feels great!
I would move the piano bench (maybe to the end of your bed or use as your coffee table?) it looks like you just set it there temporarily. The color is starkly different and it just looks like it doesnt belong. And I think the pink table (and the teal one too) would look fab on your deck! Id move the back of the island all the way to the edge of the wall and then lean the big mirror against the wall on top of the island; It will make the place look bigger because it will reflect the light from both windows and your lamp. Because of the island placement you will have to be careful of what you place on it. It will make your place look messy if too much is on it or if things are placed on it and not kept neat. I would move the desk (which is an amazing piece of furniture BTW) and use it as my TV stand and get rid of the TV stand you have now. Put your 2 animal prints above the couch. I would also angle the piece you put into the corner putting it kitty cornered (the one with hunny bunny and friends on it) rather than putting it against the one wall. It will visually take up less space. Have a great day and I love your "show"!
Thank you for your suggestions! I especially like your idea to add the mirror on top of the kitchen island. When I measured, it would cover up the light switch. The desk is probably from the 1940's and has the original hardware! I would love to build a porch awning so I can set it up like an outdoor living room. I agree the bright colored tables would look great out there!
Hi Sarah, you've got things looking good. I like that you do what works for you (actually, we should all live that way)!
Thank you very much! I'm loving the arrangement of furniture! The flow is so different. When I walk into my trailer, it just feels good. Have a great day!
I think that Easter monkey is a lamb. but what do I know.
I luv your videos. thank you for sharing. 😀
I do believe you are right! I always thought it was a monkey, but a lamb makes sense for Easter. Have a great weekend!
That is such a beautiful rug..love the color.😊❤
Thank you so much! The rug in the living room I've had for over 15 years, it has been on many moves with me. Have a great weekend!
Great job rearranging. I like the island idea. Only thing different I’d try is lining up your island either centered to the column or to the far edge to give yourself a an inch or two more space. I like that you are making your space right for you!
Thank you very much! I'm loving the changes. Thank you for your suggestion with the island. It's wonderful to use what I've got to make my space better. Have a great day!
Love your channel, Sarah! I can really relate to the little we know about you. I so look forward to your videos! *ps- i think thats an Easter lamb! I've never heard of an Easter monkey!
Thank you very much! I'm so glad you enjoy my Channel! I never thought that was a lamb, but it makes sense for Easter! Have a wonderful weekend and thanks for watching.
i think you made some good changes and as you find things work better, it's great to pass them on to others to help them improve their homes. i hope you have a good weekend. it's been really hot here but a small drop in temp will be a welcome change tomorrow. i finally got to do a little driving so it really boosted my spirit today. take care and keep cool.
Hi Karen! Did you get an A/C unit yet? I hope so! I'm glad to hear you are driving, that's great news. Thank you so much! I'm enjoying the new setup of the furniture. The arrangement has greatly improved the space. It just feels better when I come home. I'm enjoying the furniture layout a lot, especially the kitchen island cart. Have a fantastic weekend, Karen!
Oh my goodness , Sarah, your ideas keep turning out beautifully ❤! I just love the new arrangements in your cozy home !! Happy weekend !!!
Thank you very much! My home just flows better now! I enjoy improving my space in whatever ways I can. I really like the space freshened up! The kitchen island cart was an unexpected idea, but I think it came to me because of the living room improvement. Space is like that, if you improve one area, it opens up the possibilities for improving other areas! And Mr. Turtle's been trying to sneak in! He wants to nap on the sofa!
@@CareFreeLivingChannel oh my goodness I’d love if Mr Turtle found his way in 😂
Mr. Turtle has some tricks up his sleeves! He's no ordinary turtle!
You know you have plenty of room under the sofa to put some underbed storage boxes to put away some of the stuff you need to keep but don't use often which is what I do in my very small bedroom. I use them for clothes and swap out my winter and summer clothes as needed. It gives me more room in my closet and makes things easier to find. ❤
That's right! The storage space under the sofa would be ideal for seasonal storage. Thank you for your suggestion. Have a wonderful day!
Hi Sarah! “I have an idea…” 😂 And you know, everything worked out great! Good job! Have a great weekend…I know I will because my grandkids come in tonight for a weeks stay. So excited! Haven’t seen (in real life) for five years. 👋🏻
Hi Judy! That's how it starts with "an idea!" I love it! I'm so happy with how the space turned out, it feels refreshed, good energy and happy vibes. You will definitely have a wonderful weekend with the grandchildren! Enjoy your time together. I hope you get good weather! Have a great night, Judy!
Get rid of the clutter minilisim it help you organise and free from it home peace sweet home 🏡 ❤ 😊 ♥
Hi Sarah. I love how you arranged everything. It all looks amazing. I love how you always work with what you got. I like how you moved the island over to that wall.
Thank you! The island has improved the kitchen, I'm loving it. Removing the cubby from the island was a great fix to open the pathway. It feels cozy and comfy! This was like a "no-spend" space refresh. The flow in here is so much better now. Have a great day!
The little island looks good that way
Thank you, Lois! I'm enjoying the island a lot. It's so great to have an extra spot to sit down at. Look at me all fancy in the kitchen!
Rearranging the furniture really opened up the space. It looks so much larger !
Thank you! I agree, the furniture placement makes my little trailer feel so much larger. And the flow of the space feels great. I want to enjoy my space as much as possible! Making things better feels wonderful to do. Have a great night!
Hi Sarah and Mr Turtle. I'm liking where you moved things. Sometimes I watch you on the TV and forget to comment i apologize. I hope you Mr Turtle and honey bunny have a great weekend 😊
I appreciate you watching my Channel, thank you! The flow of my home is working out so much nicer after re-arranging the furniture. I think Mr. Turtle is getting jealous of Honey Bunny. He done tried to sneak in the other night! He's getting a little sassy. It happens, the heat does not always bring out the best in turtles! Have a wonderful weekend!
I love your kitchen counter❤️
Iwish ours were that beautiful.❤️
Thank you for sharing a bit of your story❤️
We had to move during the pandemic. Moved from Texas to New York State ❣️
Best thing ive ever done in my life❣️💯
Thank you! The kitchen countertop is from Lowe's. I like it, too. It's like a fake granite color! That's how I feel about my move during the Pandemic, too. It ended up being the best thing for me. I love my little home and enjoy making my space work. Have a great day!
Everything turned out lovely and I like the island. It looks very nice in the kitchen and I think the table runner on the sofa looks fantastic. The pattern is very pretty. Have a wonderful weekend.😘😘
Thank you very much! The island is working out really well. So far, so good! It provides extra countertop space and loving the lamp. It feels so cozy at night! I love that pattern, too, for the sofa. I hope you have a great weekend!
@@CareFreeLivingChannel thanks I’ll be working 18 hours all weekend.but got do it. I’m 58 and there in early 20s and they’re trying to get rid of us older workers, but I’m good at my job and I like to clean houses and I have a lot of customers that request me to clean.
Get some good rest when you can and I'm glad your customers ask for you! It says a lot when folks request you.
Hi Sarah, I think you did a great job. The island looks great. I have one in my kitchen similar to that one, I love it. Hope you have a wonderful weekend 🎉
Thank you so much! I really like the updates, too. The kitchen island cart is so helpful, it provides nice extra seating. I hope your weekend is great, too!
I love the counter in the kitchen
Thank you! I'm enjoying it, too!
I think it's cute as a button. I could live there.
You're doing a great job.
Thank you very much! I enjoy making my home better. I like the new setup especially the kitchen island cart!
can hear you good with the ac one
Oh good! That a/c is really loud in-person so wasn't sure, thank you for letting me know, Lois!
You did a great job. Have a wonderful weekend.
Thank you so much! I am really enjoying the updates and changes around here. Coming home feels more joyful and relaxing. I'm thrilled with the outcome! It's amazing what re-arranging furniture can do to improve a space.
I also have the narrow 3
Tiers shelves to fit in cuppords on my counter. I store spices in them and my oils. They were about $4 each at Walmart. They can hold cups and such too.
I haven't been to Walmart in a long time! I may need to make a special trip. I like you idea, thank you very much!
The changes you made look great!
Thank you! I’m loving the changes!
Just a suggestion, if you can find one of those or a couple it the deciders that are to stack plates in them, they work great to free up space. Also, I use cheap hooks to hang mugs off of my metal shelves like you have. It frees up fast surface space. :)
I would like to free up the surface space as you mentioned. Good ideas!
you need a runner rug for that walkway
Yes, that is a great idea! I think it would be so nice to get a runner rug. Sometimes they come up at the thrift store, but I think it would be wonderful to pick out the design. In the winter it would be super nice!
Care Free Living, You're fantastic! Let's be friends and have fun!
Thanks so much for watching my video!
I love the island in the kitchen . I am glad to know you have air conditioning it's going to be a very hot week coming up .
Thank you! I'm loving the kitchen island, too! It gives extra seating for a morning cup of coffee. Oh yes, gotta have A/C. My trailer came with the original hvac unit and it works pretty good, thank God!
Wow! I was reading the comments while you were putting the finishing touches in the kitchen. I couldn’t believe the difference. It looks like a new spacious room.
Thank you! The kitchen idea is working out so well for me. I absolutely love the island cart where it is. Removing the cubby from the cart to make pathway clearance was the perfect remedy. I love my little trailer! I hope you have a great day!
You did a great job, looks so good!
Thank you! I love the new arrangement and enjoy working on my home. Have a great day!
I would put up shelves on those blank kitchen walls. The one above where you moved the white island. And the end of your counter where you moved the air purifier. That would use those blank walls. Also next to your fridge in that corner. More storage means more storage. Use every square inch you can.😊
That’s a great idea! Improving the storage options will really help. Thank you for your suggestion!
@CareFreeLivingChannel your welcome. I just have noticed all the unused wall areas. That's alot of room to not use it to its fullest potential. 😊
For sure using the space will help greatly!
Love your tiny home.Looking good.Have a blessed week.
Thank you very much! I love my home and the how it flows with the furniture placement. God Bless You, too, and have a great weekend!
That was fun. Great job.
I'm so happy you enjoyed my video! I'm loving the new flow in my space.
this was very calming to watch you do..
I'm so glad to know it! Thank you for watching and have a great day!
Everything looks great
Thank you very much! I'm so glad to improve the arrangement. It makes the space flow so much better!
Looks great!!
Thank you so much! I'm loving the space. Furniture placement is amazing how much it can alter a room!
It is looking great.
Thank you very much! I am thrilled with the updates. It's incredible how furniture arrangement can make space better!
Looks great 🦋
Thank you so much! I'm loving the updates.
Good job. Maybe try turning the green the other direction. Mimic the shape of the couch.
Thanks for watching!
🤗Well done--nice place. You know exactly what you're doing and what you need. Have a peaceful weekend💕
Thank you! I enjoyed putting the furniture arrangement together and making the space work better. The flow feels so good, good vibes all the way! Have a great weekend!
Looks good. Have a blessed weekend 🙏
Thank you very much! God Bless You, too, and have a great weekend!
I like what you have done. 😊
Thank you so much! I am enjoying my space so much more now!
Have you thought about painting the back of the cabnits to make it look more like a seperation on the living room side?
Hi Lois! Yes, I think that would be a great solution!
Hi. 3 of us live in a 2BR apartment near Chicago. Every day, I get rid of at least 20 items. I try to keep top closet and cabinet shelves empty because we are 77 and 74 , and my daughter is disabled. We have 4 tall bookcases, two have bins. Tina, Al's wife
Hi Tina! You are on top of things in your home, great job! I am getting there little by little. Your method sounds right on track with keeping down any clutter. Have a great day!
You did a great job
Thank you very much! I'm enjoying the new arrangement of the furniture. The flow of my space has improved so much!
Hi Sarah! Love the way everything turned out. The Island in the kitchen looks great. Amazing job my friend ❤❤❤❤🎉
Thank you so much! I'm enjoying the island in the kitchen for the additional countertop space and a place to sit. My little trailer feels a lot better setup this way!
❤
Thank you for watching my video!
Good job 👍 looks so nice God bless you much love from Michigan 🙏❤️
Thank you! I enjoyed setting up my space better. The flow has improved so much. I hope you have a great weekend! And God Bless You!
Thank you Hun have a wonderful weekend
Hey Sarah everything turned out looking good. Just some thoughts, I would get a corded wall light for the kitchen, find a tall entertainment center for the living room place TV, books and all the knickknacks on it, it would be more open. Hang the mirror on the wall using wall anchors. Have a wonderful weekend, stay safe and God bless.
Hi Sara! I like your ideas! I've seen those corded wall lights but never had one. I'd love to get the mirror off the floor and on the wall. I plan on doing some thrifting this weekend, maybe I'll find some of the items you described, maybe even an entertainment center. The TV is definitely my entertainment! God Bless You, Sara, and have a great weekend!
I believe it’s a lamb not an Easter monkey but that gave me a chuckle. They will forever be Easter monkey.
Haha! All this time, I thought it was an Easter Monkey. I'll have to tell my better half about this!
I live your channel its awesome ❤️
Thank you very much! I'm so glad to know you enjoy my Channel. Thank you for being here!
@@CareFreeLivingChannel I really do
It makes me happy to know that!
Your welcome sweetheart @@CareFreeLivingChannel
do what makes you happy in your space lie you I love kitchen things and I do most meals everyday for hubby who can't walk without walker any more bless his heart he 80 and has many heath issues. But together we make it work in our 1200 square ft apartment been here 2 years we downsize and sold our wonderful homestead because the land house was just too much for us. I am always moving things around. just as much as I use too but I am bless and at 78 God has a plan for me he in control. I trust in him s faithful one.
I love your message! Yes, God has a plan for us, so true! I've moved many times and my little trailer has become a wonderful home for me. Arranging the furniture differently has opened up the space where it flows better. I am enjoying my home very much. God Bless You and your husband!
My concern would be if you bumped the lamp could it be knocked in the sink and if it had water in it that could be dangerous.
For sure electricity and water do not mix!
I forgot to say I do like the changes you made in the video today. Jan from Louisiana
Thank you! Updating the furniture placement has improved the flow of the space so much. I'm loving it!
Wasting money on things 😒 just need family and love take care sweetie 😘 ❤❤❤
Lecturing someone about "wasting money who eats almost exclusively from the food pantry and lives in a tiny home furnished with thrifted items and roadside finds seems an odd choice if you ask me. Surely you could find countless others in much more need of your sage advice
Oh my you are like me i see it and n it need done i will do myself if i have too lol
Creativity is like that, you get an idea, and have to try it! I tell myself if it doesn't work, move it back! I like how this setup has turned out. The flow of the space has improved so much. I only see it getting better from here!
@@CareFreeLivingChannel yes looks really nice love it ❤️
Thank you very much!
May I ask your occupation and if you work from your home or outside the home?
I work from home! I put my full effort into my Channel. Thank you for watching!
Like me, I think you have too much furniture and things in that small space. I’ve been slowly getting rid of anything that doesn’t make me happy. Easier on the eye, calming to the mind and easier to keep clean. 👍
I'm enjoying the revisions I made! Going through my belongings is slow but coming along. Have a great day!
There is too much things for such a small space. Need to donate some furniture.
You sure thats an Easter monkey and not a lamb? What's the tail situation?
Haha! That cracked me up! This whole time I thought it was a monkey but a lamb makes sense for Easter. Have a great day!
Friend you just have too much stuff for a small space.
Your tv would look good on your kidney shaped dresser ,
I like your suggestion, thank you!
Just a suggestion, if you can find one of those or a couple it the deciders that are to stack plates in them, they work great to free up space. Also, I use cheap hooks to hang mugs off of my metal shelves like you have. It frees up fast surface space. :)
Great idea, thank you so much! I love space-saving solutions that work!
Looks great 👍
Thank you very much! I'm enjoying the new layout and how it flows. I'm excited about it!
