Sara and Keenan Miller purchased a tiny home and placed it on an estate property in Nashville, Tennessee.

“I wanted to create a space that’s inspiring and peaceful for me, and I feel that we are doing that,” Sara wrote in an article for Newsweek.
Sara, a freelance blogger and photographer, and her husband Keenan, a professional musician, decided to move to Nashville after a family tragedy.
The couple didn’t originally intend on buying a tiny home but came upon the listing when scrolling social media.
After verifying the sellers, they eventually purchased the tiny home for $70,000.
The couple requested a small loan from family members and procured the house.
Sara wrote: “When my mother said that she would help us buy our tiny home, there were a lot of tears of relief and joy.”
The home is just 364 square feet – what Sara calls “the size of a New York studio.”
It’s 30 feet long with 14-foot ceilings.
The lofted bedroom sits on one side of the tiny home, while a studio for music and writing sits on the other.
The house came furnished – the space is smartly decorated with subtle design touches.
White shiplap walls cover the interior, while natural wood colors warm the space.
The tiny home features a wide array of appliances – from a normal-sized refrigerator, washer, dryer, stove and a basin sink.
Sara concludes about her space: “We know firsthand that it took family and friends helping us to make our dream here come true.”
