VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
Meet Allyson. She's a driven woman determined to make her retirement the best it could be for her and her dog Tucker. She took it into her own hands and built this adorable tiny home from the ground up, only using assistance when needed. She chose a smaller bathroom and a quaint sleeping loft to ensure maximum living space in the central area.
In the main portion, she has a couch directly across from a large bookshelf holding over 150 books she intends to read through during retirement. Her favorite pieces of furniture are a funky red leather chair that converts into several different positions, and a dining table made up of recycled broken glass bottles. The french doors lead out to a cozy sitting area next to her fresh garden, where she hosts many nights of eating, drinking, and thoroughly enjoys her new chapter in life.

Wow! what a great amount of courage it must have taken you to build this project, You succeeded and I'm happy for you. Great work!! Dominique ;-)
-
This is the most real, down to earth, honest interview I've seen regarding tiny house living. Her home and garden are beautiful!
-
I just adore this woman. She has a great way about her. And she learned how to create the life she wanted. So beautiful and inspiring ❤
-
As a 55 year old woman myself recently gone through a divorce I can relate to her on that level. She’s living her life in peace and enjoyment. You can tell. She is so intelligent too. Good luck to you. I wish you well.
-
I LOVE how she repurposed so many great things especially the French doors to create a semi enclosed porch. She should be very proud of her accomplishments.
-
The IKEA-hacked downstairs sofa/bed is genius.
-
I want to see a lot more tiny homes designed for retirees so they can stay in their homes and not assisted living. Would love tiny home retirement communities. I'm so glad YOU'RE happy with YOUR decision. It's your life, live it, and love it.
-
I love her home. It’s beautiful and quaint. She really gives a lot of life lessons. Shows that people really don’t need much to be happy
-
Omg I love this lady! Her energies and vibes are so sincere and serene. She deserves the world and and really represents courage, positivity and happiness. 💙💙💙
-
Her statement “There’s a freedom in owning only what you need” is so very true. I have been dominated by my possessions for too many years of my life and I have finally learned that owning too many possessions controlled my life for too many years.
-
I find this is a great inspiration to women, people of a mature age, people wanting to live financially independent and people on a budget (which are most people). So many possibilities here and a bigger home is more headache than its worth anyway.. GOOD FOR HER!
-
I realized that the secret to making a million is making better investment. I always tell myself you don't need that new car or that vacation just yet and that mindset helps me make more money investing.
-
Her pride in her creativity and ingenuity is evident and inspiring. That shower curtain and tub solution was fantastic!
-
She took the lemons of life and made much more the lemonade.....she made Daisey!!! What a wonderful, teachable experience.
-
What a gentle and kind woman. She is inspirational and the whole notion of a shrunken environment in terms of reduced material needs and greater appreciation of nature is inspiring.
-
Love her decorating style & all the creative ways she re-purposed items too!
-
I love this woman, her courage and "I can do it" attitude! Tiny baby steps in the answer to big projects and an amazing vision!
-
She looks like she's living her best life, in the home that's just perfect for her. What else could anybody ask for 🥰
-
I loved when she said "building a tiny home is doable." Loved when she said "go for it." What a beautiful home, job well done!!! She's right, tiny home living provides people with freedom. Freedom of where people want to live and freedom from all the financial bills from either apartment renting or paying a mortgage, having a house. Such a beautiful cozy home!! ♥️
-
This has to be one of the most amazing tiny homes that I have seen. Not only is there room for so many things, you seem to have built on a budget! You seem so smart and I could listen to your voice all day. Thanks for sharing!
