The Living Room


A Cozy Living Room for a Cozy Cottage

The captain's chair is a family heirloom - it doesn't go with the tiny home! The love seat DOES come with the home. It converts into a comfortable single bed - convenient for guests!

Notice the nice contrast between the Red Oak hardwood flooring and the Spruce Pine tongue and groove on the walls.

Here you see the front door and the shelves for the Blu-Ray 5.1 surround sound tiny home theater system.

This picture gives you view of the living room with the Love Seat converted into a single bed. It is really easy to do.I have advanced arthritis and I can do it with one hand.

You also can see the dining table in the foreground.

Off to the right there is a bar or partition between kitchen and living room. It is there to insure someone sitting on the love seat won't be splattered or singed by cooking.


These two pictures (above and below), though dark, give a good sense of how the living room fits together.

You can see the heating/airconditioning inside part high on the wall. The remote control for the heating/airconditioning is beside the door in it's holster mounted on the wall.

Overhead you can see the ceiling fan/light (both controlled by switches by the door).

In the corner by the door are shelves for the home theater system and knick knacks.

One thing you CAN'T see is wires going to the TV! Built into the wall and ceiling is a "cable race", which is a pathway for sliding HDMI, power and other cables BEHIND the wall! No more unsightly wires out in sight makes for a much prettier home entertainment system.


Take a gander right over the door. That's a widescreen High Def TV up at the ceiling! In this position is is perfectly situated for viewing lying on the sofa bed!

It is mounted on a custom-engineered stainless steel mounting bracket that is articulated to allow the TV to be lowered into position in front of the door for seated viewing.

It would probably be a decent idea to lock the door...

Unless you enjoy watching someone get beaned and fall back outside!

And here's the same TV lowered into position for seated viewing - or viewing from the kitchen, for that matter.

No, the TV isn't screwed up...

We left the protective covering on the screen for the new owner to remove. This is a 42 inch TV. You can have up to a 50 or barely a 55 inch TV.

The limitation is not the mount - it's the physics of the tiny home itself. Keep in mind that a 50 inch screen gets HUGE when you're just 7 feet away! In a tiny home you're never far from anything!


Here's a close up of the inside unit of the Pioneer Heavy Duty Inverter heating and cooling system. The heat pump part is outside, mounted solidly on steel brackets.



We round out our tour of the Living Room with a glance at the tongue and groove ceiling, showing the combination light and ceiling fan. Both the light and the fan are controlled by switches by the front door.

Notice the storage space above the kitchen cabinets in the background.

    There's a story goes with that family heirloom captain's chair.
   

It was pop's favorite chair. He was right proud of it and showed it off to anyone would listen. Bragged on it, even. It was where he went to think. We had a truck farm back then, raised corn and tomatoes and chickens. Had a right nice barn, too. Pop worked in town at the mill days, at home farming most of the rest of the time. Times weren't exactly easy.

Pop went out one evening to collect eggs.

He came back quickly, grabbed a glass, put a slug of "Papa's Recipe" in the glas (homemade brew, about 160 proof)s and sat in his chair, all quiet like.

Mom asked hin where were the eggs. He just sat there, took another sip. Eventually allowed as how he was waiting for God. That didn't do mom's nerves much good.

Finally he fessed up he'd been bit by a serpent, and showed her his hand. Sure enough there were two holes with a little blood. Most like it was a rattlesnake for they are populous around these parts.

Mom dressed his wound. She watched a while. He didn't look dying.

She quietly slipped out to the barn and started inspecting. Sure enough, she found a nest kind of hidden under a shelf and there were a few drops of blood! She looked further and saw a broody hen perched high, ready to attack. She'd found her culprit!

She slipped back inside, concocted a nasty mess to drink, put it in a glas. She went to where pop sat in his chair and told him it was her snakebite cure, and handed it to pop.

Now, nobody knows what was in that glass, but smelled bad - and it made pop gag!

And sure enough,

   

 

it cured pop

of his snakebite!
