  • When you build your own home, that space should be a reflection of you and your character. That's exactly what Deb has done here. This tiny house radiates her style and highlights all the things that are important in her life.
    This is a bright and beautiful tiny home which is packed full of clever space-saving features. A cat lover, Deb has wonderfully designed her house to also be the perfect home to her furry family members, including a large catio, cat walks and lots of places for them to lounge around the home.
    As a flight attendant, Deb has collected many treasures from her travels over the years, all of which have found pride of place in her lovely new home. This is a small space with some really big style! We hope you enjoy the tour of this charming tiny home!

    Deb is such a lovely woman who is as character filled as her home. I love how bright and colourful she has made her home. It's definitely an uplifting place to walk into! There's a lot of thought that has gone into designing this home in a way that it fits her needs perfectly. We hope you enjoy the tour. Thank-you for watching and supporting our show! With Love, Bryce & Rasa

    This is gorgeous! When Deb said "the home is mine, no one can come along and move me from it, and say 'You cant live here anymore', so I've got that security," that encapsulates the reality of so many older women. So many of us don't live with home security after divorce, after spending so much of our lives working hard at a job or raising kids, it's shocking. I'm so glad there are options like this, for us to find a place of our own and feel that sense of security. Beautiful job Deb! ❤❤

      Absolutely! There's currently a case of a 94-year-old woman (I believe she's in San Francisco) who has lived in the same apartment for 80 years who is fighting eviction (since the new building owners want to empty it and sell it for a profit). An absolute shame.

      Your societies decided you don't need religion anymore. Where I live no kid let's his mother to fend alone for herself. Mothers are revered and respected and live with Thier kids if they chose to do so surrounded by family. Why? Because religion teaches us paradise is at the feet of your mother.

    I watch you all the time, Bryce. I can't remember commenting before. I love that you are so kind to every person you interview and bring out the positives of their choices. That is what this is most about to me. Choices for them. My husband and I live in a 16 by 24 square foot home in Virginia. It is not completed with deck and such and still working on the inside while living here. We downsized from a huge home and retired. Nineteen acres and contented beyond what I even expected. We are not fancy here, just practical and happy to have leisure time. As we get money, we do the next thing and did not quit living to do it, if that makes sense.

      Your post is very similar to my wife and I’s life! We live in less than 500 square feet home, on 7 fully wooded acres. We are both now retired, completely grateful for and deeply appreciating the simple and meaningful life we have. Everything is easy, simple, and minimalistic overall, in terms of household possessions. We each have a tiny separate art studio - not so minimalistic in those locations. Haha! It’s all good! Each day really is a gift, isn’t it?
      All the best to you! Much happiness!

    I love this for her so much, the idea that she can build it to her own vision and not having to compromise on anything, she looks so happy.

    Hi Deb,
    I’m a friend of John and Kevin in Palm Springs (and San Diego) and John’s told me you’ve been friends FOREVER since London. Loved watching the video and seeing your lovely home in Auckland. Hope to meet you if you come back this way. By the way, I was a flight attendant with PanAm then Delta Air Lines from 1986-2020 !

    I was thinking the same thing about the doll. She has a lovely home

    What makes it extra special is her sister. Sharing shed for dryer and solar power. Never really alone but can be if you want. Also a cat sitter when needed. Must be very close. Love the house. Enjoy retirement when it comes!
