Family of 5... Living in a Tiny House for 4 Years!

Published 2023-03-02
2 tall adults, 3 tall teenagers and 2 cute kitties have been living in the tiny house we designed and built with our own hands for over 4 years! Here's a tour!

"True wealth is not found in the things we accumulate, but in the freedom we gain by choosing to live with less." Joshua Becker of Becoming Minimalist

THIS is what we have experienced along this journey... β™₯️

    I think it's great. Society has put too much expectation on each child getting their own room, some even with their own bathrooms. I love the tiny space. We raised our 2 kids in a 500 sq ft house with 1 bathroom. It worked. We all still love each other, lol. Now being empty nesters it's perfect. Your addition is lovely.

    This is the most livable tiny house I've seen, so many are totally impracticable. It's a credit to you and your family.

    You have a very lovely & cozy home. So much love put into it. ❀
  • @granjan252
    You have a delightful attitude, and I suspect, you have passed that on to your teenagers. Your home is wonderful!

    This is the first time I've seen your video and I got to tell you I like how you added the addition and you don't have to justify why you didn't do anything.. you will get to it when you're ready.. I love your place I love the outdoor space and love your new dining room .I love the kids rooms upstairs that walk way is kind of scary I would have to have more protection cuz I probably lose my balance and still fall through the ropes I am a klutz... I think you did a wonderful job.. I love how you look out to nature and the stream and the trees.. seems perfect!!

    It's very beautiful the fact that you appreciate the small things makes it even more beautiful 😍

    I bet you spent β€” and still spend β€” a lot of time manifesting your dreams and ideas for your family home. Let me tell you … it shows! Warm, functional, realistically curated to keep personality but avoid clutter, and absolutely dreamy, I enjoyed every second of this tour. I appreciate you making this video and sharing it. Inspiration abounds! I live in 600 sq foot condo in the city with an 11 and 14yo, and would love that dreamy outside space and creek. What a treasure you have there. ❀️ 🏑
  • love your home its your place and thats all that matters, its clean and looks loved and lived in thank you for sharing it with us xxxxxxxxxx
  • Beautiful home. I pretty much shared a tiny room with my sister always. We live in a lovely old Victoria house it had 3 bedrooms, and only the master bedroom had a closet. But I loved that home and those memories. Thank you for a peak into you home.

    I just came across your channel. What a wonderful home u have built for your family! So warm & cozy and very minimalist. Thank u for sharing!:)

    it's very nice! but in my country a bathroom that opens directly in the living area would be considered unsanitary, and the house would not be considered legally liveable. the best part though was seeing the snow and the pretty outdoor from your windows, it looks so gorgeous there

    Love how you are keeping it simple and avoiding clutter. Incomplete is a beauty of its own.

    Lovely home! Beautiful tour and great job designing the various elements to suit for family's needs. ❀ (I just sold my white farmhouse style THOW in NS.) Will miss it dearly. TH living may not be for everyone but besides being economical can be almost spiritual.πŸŽ‰ Your kids will have had an amazing experience living in this home. And formed close family bonds and great organizational skills as a result. Best of luck to you in your future plans! πŸ€— I was curious re how you heat your home? Being on Vancouver Is perhaps not as big a challenge in winter months as it is where I live. Or in other parts of Canada? I also had a mini cubic but found you had to keep loading the smaller logs to maintain a good fire. Also used a heat pump and oil filled heaters to supplement. Perhaps you only need some electric heaters for colder months?

    Great little home!! You have 3 dishwashers, as my dad used to call my sister and I.
  • @mackulette
    You have a lovely speaking voice. So soothing. Thank you for giving us a tour of your lovely home!

    This is the cutest tiny house I've ever seen. It's just beautiful and doesn't feel small. The covered outside space is beautiful. Nice to sleep outside
  • This was such a pleasure to watch. I LOVE the stream flowing by your house and the setting is just beautiful. Your home is so cozy and inviting and warm. God has richly blessed you. Thank you so much for sharing!
