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!

THIS is what we have experienced along this journey... ♥️

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

    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.

    Love how you are keeping it simple and avoiding clutter. Incomplete is a beauty of its own.
  • @granjan252
    You have a delightful attitude, and I suspect, you have passed that on to your teenagers. Your home is wonderful!
  • I don’t have a dishwasher only one bathroom 3 bedrooms post war in Australia raised 2kids and I’m still here❤

    Alone with nature, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, a great place! And this is the result of reading the article :)

    I bet you spent — and still spend — 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. ❤️ 🏡

    I was raised in a house of 900 sq ft with 1 bathroom with 4 people. I never remembered it was small. My sister and I shared a bedroom. The extra bedroom was my mother's sewing room. My mother made all of our clothes, plus hers. Of we did not much money. But, I never remember doing without our basic needs. Sometimes, I think we need to go back to just basic needs. I think we would be a happier society. People have too much stuff now that we spend too much time worrying about keeping up with the Jones.
  • 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.
  • Somehow,this tiny house seemed like a real home,not like other tiny homes that I have seen which are rather fancy, a little unbelievable and costly ,too.The lady sounds happy and contended and that speaks volumes. I just loved it.
  • @amitas7047
    It's very beautiful the fact that you appreciate the small things makes it even more beautiful 😍
  • @gracavasc
    The idea of laundry room in your bedroom sounded strange but it makes a lot of sense to get the extra space in front of the machines to be used in the bedroom as well. Well done!👏👏👏

    Sweet home. Great tour of your tiny home. TY. So 5 mouths and no dishwasher...you ma'am are a trooper. Bravo!

    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!!

    You home makes me think of the Weasley's home in the Harry Potter series; welcoming , cozy and without pretense. I never saw a tiny home with 3 teenagers, it can be done, maybe not by everybody but you make it work. We could hear the stream, fanstastic place to gather and relax.
  • @mackulette
    You have a lovely speaking voice. So soothing. Thank you for giving us a tour of your lovely home!
  • @tessajones9393
    This is so cool! I love it! I'm Australian and 2A, 2K live in a 1950s cottage, our place is small, I actually think you have more livable space than us haha. Your outdoor space is a dream! 😎☕
  • I grew up with only one bathroom and never heard anyone in the family complain about space. It worked.
  • @tessajones9393
    People comment on our small home (1950s cottage in Australia 🇦🇺) and I'm always saying if people did the math and worked out how long they spent at home we wouldn't need big mortgages. With work, studies, school, hobbies, extra caricular activies etc how many hours a week are we actually at home? ☕💕✨
