This tiny home on Shellmate Island is only 320 square feet. Still, it’s larger than their 270-square-foot Tiffany. It has a comparatively “airy interior” and is cheap too. Their monthly electric bill is only $30.00 monthly. (The US Energy Information Administration reports that the US average is $117.00.) The couple hopes to install a battery pack so they can run everything off electricity.

Their current kitchen includes butcher’s block countertops, mint green cupboards, and white tiling. It’s a step up from Tiffany’s tiny culinary corner. A peninsula-like area can be folded down in order to make more space.

To complete the picture, they purchased a used Whirlpool refrigerator on Craigslist for $100.00.
