Many of us recall spending time with friends and participating in sports when we were 11 years old. <\/p>\n

Lauren Nelson, who was 11 years old, had a much larger goal in mind.She desired to convert a camper into her very own tiny home.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Lauren, from Attica, New York, was determined to have a fruitful summer when COVID caused the bulk of social events to be cancelled. <\/p>\n

Lauren began to formulate her ideas for her goal after being motivated by an American Girl doll magazine. <\/p>\n

Her objective was to purchase a van for the least amount of money feasible because in American Girl, a $650 toy VW bus was available. <\/p>\n

Mom Aimee Nelson remembered what happened when her kid showed her parents the magazine in the following interview with WKBW: <\/p>\n

\u2018That’s insane, you could purchase your own camper for that money,\u2019 my husband said.
\nThe young girl made the decision to spend that amount of money on her own camper.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Lauren started looking for campers that would make the ideal compact home after saving all of her pocket money. <\/p>\n

Her mother Aimee told NY Post that her daughter had amassed money from events like Easter and the Tooth Fairy over years. <\/p>\n

It turned out that a neighbor just down the road was offering a 20-foot-long camper for sale at a price that was quite reasonable, and despite its battered appearance, Lauren fell in love with it right away.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The camper was being offered for a price that was out of the 11-year-price old’s range, so she had to negotiate. She acknowledged that lowering the price wasn’t difficult, adding: <\/p>\n

He asked for $500, and I responded with $400 because that is how much money I had in my bank account. Then he said \u2018sold.\u2019<\/p>\n

Even for a pre-teen with minimal prior experience with manual labor, the actual restoration process was anything but simple. <\/p>\n

But Lauren was willing to put in the effort, so she started by thoroughly cleaning her new, little house.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Of course, Lauren had to make more savings as the refurbishment required money as well.She spent about $400 on her bohemian hideaway’s furniture and accents combined. <\/p>\n

Lauren was inspired by the HGTV program Tiny House Hunters, and to put her ideas together, she conducted independent research and browsed Pinterest.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Her house has a neutral color scheme of black, white, and grey with the occasional potted plant and mandala ornament. <\/p>\n

You have access to a comfortable living area, a bedroom with four beds, a small bathroom, and a kitchen. <\/p>\n

Although there isn’t much room, the bedroom has a cupboard for storage, and the kitchen and living room both have cupboards.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The 11-year-old has encouraged others to join the small home community because she enjoys it so much. <\/p>\n

Lauren’s parents deserve praise for letting her explore her creative side because her home is undeniably adorable.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Not all parents would permit their child to purchase a camper and remodel it in their backyard, but Lauren’s parents saw it for what it was: a safe project that would teach Lauren many life skills. <\/p>\n
