Follow Zillow on Facebook The doorbell rings. You haven’t had time to tidy up, so you’re hoping you can confine small talk to the foyer.

How do you combine style and function in such a small space? If you’re on a tight budget, should you pour resources into 30 square feet or focus on larger rooms?

Sometimes, it’s the heart and sweat that makes a dream home, not the size. Homebuilder Patrick Romero is putting boring two-story homes to shame with his newest miniature home on wheels. It’s complete with a bedroom loft, a beautiful kitchen, and a bathroom that rivals those of full-size homes. Romero and his wife, Sarah, live in Sandy, Utah, and set out to build a gorgeous and functional home that could also move along with them. The house itself is no bigger than a food truck, but it’s truly remarkable what the Romeros were able to do with the space. Several commenters have been blown away by the final project, no doubt stirring a few feelings of envy. The bedroom loft is able to sit two beds next to each other or one larger bed for more space, and the sitting area is cozy and useful. Share Source: Tiffany Blue Eyes Their trick?

After a few days of chaos, stress, illness & fun, it feels great to take a moment to decompress & share something I’ve been excited about completing – our half bathroom. In the midst of chaos, I find sanity in organization, peace in pretty. Even if the rest of me feels out of sorts, at least this little half bath doesn ’t. I often start projects – multiple at one time, never truly finishing one. Do you do that? I decided that this Spring, I would take some time to complete each space, giving each the finishing touches I always intended to, but neglected to do in favor of a new project {#celebratehome}.
