You'll want to take a look inside this stunning tiny house inspired by the Swan Ball, a white-tie gala that benefits Cheekwood Estate and Gardens. This exceptional tiny house residence is making its two-week debut at Cheekwood this week and it's available for public viewing. The tiny home is a must-see, a one-of-a-kind tiny house that is adorned with seriously high-end appliances and custom cabinetry.

The tiny house has 383 square feet of space, the home feels surprisingly roomy, with vaulted ceilings over the main living space that combines the kitchen and dining quarters and an upper loft that offers enough space for a sleeping area. There is a short hallway that leads to the bathroom, and there are even pre-drawn plans for a 10-by-12-foot add-on room for the future homeowner. For Craig Huseby, who founded Huseby Homes with his wife, Nichole, the tiny house project is an endeavor that turned out to be a learning experience.

As they had never done a tiny house before there was a learning curve, as their identity is not in being tiny house builders. They have building projects that are more than 14,000 square feet to include farmhouses on acreage, and downtown penthouses, so there is a huge diversity in what Huseby Homes does. The tiny house project was a special one with major contributions from esteemed residential architect Noble Johnson Architects, Sierra Pacific windows from Dale Incorporated, custom cabinetry from Saw and Dust, and an amazing package from Ferguson Bath, Kitchen and Lighting Gallery that includes beautiful soft brass fixtures, decorative lighting, and even cabinet hardware.

Initially, the tiny house was designed to be a saltbox-style structure, the home underwent a few significant modifications during the building process that added even more charisma to the exterior. The tiny home now boasts a gabled shake roof, cypress lap siding painted in Sherwin Williams Oyster White, and curved dormers on either end, giving it an authentically Southern look. While most tiny houses on wheels have doors and windows on both the front and back to accommodate the trailer wheels during transport from one location to the next, this tiny home is unique.

They built the trailer platform higher than the wheels so that they could have huge sliding glass doors. You can go out the side not the front and back of the tiny house like a trailer. If it's a nice day, you can have the doors open to the outside, with all of that natural light coming in.

Natural light is a standout feature of the tiny home, with the front and rear dormers letting light into both the main living area and the loft. The designers wanted to bring the outdoors in, says the tiny house project's interior designer, Jennifer Whisenant of Noble Johnson Architecture, who worked alongside Nichole Huseby on the project. There is plenty of natural light, natural colors, materials, textures with various kinds of wood, and then we paired all of that natural feel with sleek and soft-brushed brass fixtures. Everything's very soft as far as color goes.
