Greenleaf Tiny Homes has introduced a new tiny home called the Kootenay. According to the Greenleaf Tiny Homes website, the company was founded in 1999 by Jon and Jen Carroll, a father-son team, to design and build sustainable housing. Jon Carroll designed and built his first tiny home in 1978 to care for his family while tree planting in the Northwest forests.
The site shares that Jen Carroll is the designer behind Greenleaf Tiny Homes, and his wife Malia is the decorator and accountant. Among the three of them, quality tiny homes are being introduced to the market, and the Kootenay is proving its quality by creatively taking advantage of the space it has.

To help maximize the space within the tiny home, a 2.5-foot (.76 m) bump-out is added to the 22-foot (6.7 m) trailer. The bump-out space creates a cozy family room with storage above the couch.
Below the couch, drawers are installed that go all the way to the wall.
Even the windowsills are put to use holding decorations.
The bedroom for the trailer is a loft above the kitchen and is accessed via the ladder. Jen states that he would fold down the kitchen table and slide the ladder to the center of the loft if he had to access the bedroom regularly.
The kitchen has been designed with ease of access in mind. Its two-burner stove and kitchen sink are within easy reach of each other.
Storage shelves are placed on the reclaimed, barnwood walls of the kitchen.
The designers made sure to include ample pantry and drawer space within the tiny kitchen for those who are cooking enthusiasts.
The bathroom walls are lined with cedar, and storage for the towels is built above the flush toilet. Malia's artistic design shows through the shelf above the toilet.
A stand-up, stainless steel shower is in the bathroom across from the toilet.
The bedroom has plenty of space for a queen-sized bed.
The tiny home has cedar on the outside and contains 266 square feet (25 square meters) of living space inside. The deck on the front can be conveniently folded up during transit and down when the home is parked, giving you a great place to sit outside and enjoy the weather.
