TINY homeowners are getting creative with their design plans.
One woman resorted to using a very unusual item as her son's bed to fit it in her small home.
Living with less has become a craze nationwide and, according to some Texas homeowners, the trend is worthwhile.
Tiny homes are budget-friendly and offer excellent investment potential.
One Dallas-based realtor explained why some Texans are choosing to test out the tiny home life.
"(Tiny homes) are great, especially for people that are trying to downsize. People are trying to get on that new trend right now of (owning less)," said Kalie Revell Wood.

Wood has seen an uptick in sales of these pint-size spaces, but some people also opt to create their own tiny homes.
Brooke Burnett was among the fearless tiny home pioneers.
She lived on a large property with her three children when a significant life change spurred her to consider the camper life.
"I have three kids, I was running a business … I was on five acres, but part of a bigger property with a larger house, and it was just so much it was too much," she told My San Antonio.

"I just couldn't keep up, and I felt like I was drowning all the time with the constant cleaning and maintenance, so I decided we were going to try the camper life."
She was surprised to discover how much her family loved living with less responsibility.
Soon enough, she was brainstorming ways to build her own tiny home.
She took a chance and ordered a 600-square-foot shed to build the shell of her structure.
With months of hard work and renovations, she created two bedrooms, a bathroom, and even a loft for her son.
When it came to adding a sleeping space for her son, she had to think out of the box.
That is when she realized a coffin was the perfect size for a body and made for a great bed in a small space.
"(The home) is so much easier to deal with because I'm not spending every moment of my day cleaning or having to constantly cycle through even with three kids," she added.
Now, Burnett gets to avoid the hassle of completing the chores needed to maintain a large property.
"Most of my day isn't really spent with all the chores that I had. It's just so low maintenance, and I think that is the best part, even with it being tiny."
She is now hoping to expand her tiny home community to other single mothers.
