Tiny SMART House recently welcomed back our “Oakland” Oregon Trail home, which we had rented to one of our clients on the coast while her tiny house was being finished. Upon arrival, we decided we’d spruce him up before two big show debuts in March.
Our client’s adorable canine friend naturally did a little damage to the old floors, so we thought we’d start from the ground up (literally). We used vinyl plank in her tiny home, and liked it so much that we ordered more for ourselves and installed it the following week! It turned out lighter, cleaner, more dimensional, and brought so much life back into the tiny house.
Next up was a fresh coat of stain to pop the exterior walls. We saturated the wood and deepened the reddish tones, which contrast beautifully with the green door and accents. We color matched the gray trim and did some touch ups there as well.
Last but not least, a little elbow grease and some new accessories. We scrubbed, wiped and scoured until our house was sparkling, and followed it up with fresh flowers, pillows, paintings, and some goodies to spruce up the bathroom.
At 9.5′ wide, 20′ long and 13.5′ tall, the “Oakland” house is photo-ready inside and out. Our photography, video, and media coordinator will be by this week to snap some pictures of the upgrades so we can post them shortly. Stay tuned!
