New kitchen table for $39, book shelf for the kids $10 and blinds for $39 each for the master bedroom… at IKEA. I found pendant lights for $44, a new kitchen sink faucet for $50, a bathroom faucet for $3o, and an awesome modern style sleeper sofa for $169… all on amazon. The fixtures and most of the decor needed updating. Now in normal circumstances, floors are one of the last steps… but we didn’t have a lot of time and they could come right away, so I booked them.

I ordered new cabinet door faces right away because I knew that would take a while and I knew I wasn’t going to install the floors so I set that up as well. Anything I knew I could’t and wouldn’t be doing myself, I called my guys or “workers” and hired them for each job. Light fixtures, sleeper sofa, carpet, upper cabinets, wallpaper, kitchen table and built in chairs. It was just the right amount of outdated and old, because I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it.įirst things first, we tore out everything we didn’t want. Perfect size at 31 ft long, a room for Dino and I, and three bunk beds for the kids. We found a trailer on a used car lot, as soon as we walked inside, we knew it was the one. Ultimately we wanted to save as much money as we could… traveling, being financially free, and just the experience of living in a trailer. We looked at apartments, smaller houses, and guest houses. Let me tell you why we chose trailer living.

We bought land, sold our house, bought a trailer, renovated the trailer, sold most of our stuff, packed up the rest of our home and put it in storage, now living in the trailer on our land, while we build our dream home.
