Derek lost his mother to cancer when he was just 19 years old. At the time, he was living in an expensive apartment. Inspired by his mother's memory, he decided to downsize and buy a used Tiny House with the inheritance she left him. Now he has cut his housing costs by more than 80% and he says that his colorful house is a constant reminder of his love for his mother.

Anyone else think he looks like Taylor Swift?
Ya that’s uncanny. I think it’s the nose and also how he did his eyes. But he sure is good looking.
Derek I am so sorry about the loss of your mom. I bet she’s looking down from heaven and absolutely loving this colorful cool ass tiny home that you have made into an amazing home to live in. She really looked like such a fun loving person. I’m sure you are just the same. Great place!
Your house is beautiful and so are you. Congratulations on creating a space that is perfect for you and your fur babies! Very inspiring!!

Really beautiful place to not just live but thrive. I love all the colors and especially the ceiling tapestries! Best wishes for a continuing good and safe life with friends and furbabies.
