❤❤❤✨️❤❤❤
Brenda’s house is so beautiful! She’s got the gift of design and maximum usage of space. Thanks for showing her house ❤
You are so welcome! 😊
Thank you for the kind words! ❤
You have so many places id love to rest or lounge in your home. I love tiny homes that feel like self care spas and tranquility hamlets .. your tiny is a little dragon in the most amazing way
Aw, thank you so much. You're description is so spot on! 🥰
I love her tips and disclosures...the drop down tables are genius. Well done Brenda! I'm interested in the PNW so Brenda's video is super helpful!
Thank you, appreciate that. Love everything about the PNW life too!
@@brenda1578keep your fingers crossed that I can move back up!
Brenda your beautiful house is a reflection of you yourself. Clever, wise, beautiful, charming, inspiring and endlessly interesting.
100 percent!😊
Thank you so much for the ever so kind words. For 200 sq ft of space being 'endlessly interesting' is not a tiny achievement, lol. TY! ❤
@@ollieadosYou rock! 😘
Oh my gosh Brenda. I adore your home!💛 Thank you for sharing it with Tiny Home Expedition and us. You're so savvy. I appreciate how you maximized space and made sections multifunctional. The antique Asian wine bar is lovely.😊 Thank you for explaining/teaching us. I can't believe your bathroom! And smart regarding the stairs vs ladder.
Tiny Home Expedition, thank you for how you did this video, including with split screens.
You are so welcome! Also we appreciate the feedback on this new format we’re doing for these Tuesday videos. 🥰
The split screen editing rocks. Thank you so much. The daybed office is a tiny cabin in itself, so cozy. And my builder has ensured I don't fall off my staircase. 😂
1.
Thumbs up. This was so well produced. I enjoyed how you let the homeowner narrate, and your camera angles and editing. Very professional.
2.
The Tiny Tranquility community is gorgeous. We would love to live there. My goodness. We appreciate Brenda's openness about the salt from the ocean. Every area of the country has it's issues and we understand that. We appreciate the heads up.
3.
Brenda, I adore your home. You were so savvy and insightful when planning the design. The tour and commentary you gave were perfection. I adore your home. Although I have different taste in colors and decorations, your layout and creative uses for items is perfection and made me realize this is exactly how I would do it. It's hard to believe this is only 20 feet long. It's literally perfect including the appliances, bed, bathroom and accommodations for a kitty especially a senior kitty. 🙂
Thank you very much for the kind & thoughtful feedback! ☺️ Tiny Tranquility has a lot going for it. The main downside: long waiting list! But we recently heard that the owner is looking to expand on a nearby property 😁🤞
Wow, great review! Tiny Tranquility is coastal heaven even with the salt. Let's see what new thing ai find out in Bend in the mountains, lol. 1st tiny was 20'. 2.0 is 24'. TY! 😘
Brenda, your Tiny House 2.0 is beautifully designed! The wood detail is lovely, and your pop-up tables for your bar, work top, or sorting clothes is cleverly done while allowing you to fold them out of your way when not in use. I love your Southwest and Asian touches. Your cat has definitely been included in how you designed your home for him (her?) to age in place. Your tips for new tiny home dwellers is really very useful. I'm not sure I'll ever be able to buy one of my own, especially as there's no place to park them in Seattle, WA, but if I ever do I'll refer to your tips. Thank you for sharing. Jenny 🐦🥀🐝🦋
Thank you. You're so kind. Don't give up your dreams! 🌟✨️
*Those other rig’s were having such high electricity prices because there’s barely any insulation in them. Usually a tiny house is insulated like a traditional house.*
Exactly!
Exactly, and my builder did extra spray foaming that is making a differance. 😄
Brilliant advice! This was a terrific video. Brenda’s home…so lovely and homey I’d have a difficult time leaving if I were ever a guest. Just looks like HOME! Warm and inviting both inside and out.
Aw, thank you so much! It is super cozy in many spots. 😊
I don't yet live in a tiny,but I hope to one day. I enjoy all these wise owners and traveling people giving their learned experience. Beautiful home, the stairway and cozy office/spare bed are wonderful. Great design Brenda❤.
Thanks A.C. for a great video.
🥶🖤🔔👍🏻💓
Learning from a wide variety of those who’ve done it is so smart. We appreciate you! 💕
Thank you and I hope your tiny house dreams come true! ❤
This is so beautiful!
If I lived alone it would be perfect for me❤
It's definately super cozy for one. When I have guests, it's single file space, lol.
Love this tiny home and can definitely see why she is so comfortable there.
So sorry to hear of t he loss of your first Tiny House on wheels. Thank you for sharing.
I was always under the impression that a Tiny House & contents or any other hauled vehicle would be covered under the towing vehicle insurance.
I'm sure the efficiency of the mini-split is due to closed cell spray foam insulation. Closed cell foam insulation creates an impermeable closed building envelope that does not breathe preventing outside and mechanically conditioned indoor air from diffusing in or out of the living space reducing the electrical energy needed for continuous heating or cooling. Regardless of the weather outside, the ambient temperature inside maintains at a constant temperature set to the desired comfort of the occupants.
You would think everything was covered. But it was not for expensive insurance. I was homeless that night. Nobody's insurance would even cover a hotel room. The tow from freeway not covered. Storing my tiny till pick up acrued a daily rate. And, yes, I had extra spray foaming that helped!
This is one of my favorite tiny house tours! Brenda was so thoughtful and informative! ❤❤❤
Love to hear that!
Thank you! Love hearing that too. 😊❤
Her advice is the best I've heard, thank you
Christian and Alexis, can you believe it’s been SIX years since we first met? It was at the Tiny House festival in Arlington, and that was funnily enough where I met Movable Roots and have been designing for them ever since. I love that you guys are still making amazing videos and living tiny. ❤❤ If you’re ever in Northern CA, look me up!
Wow! Always crazy how fast time flies. 😊 So happy to hear you connected & work with Movable Roots; love their work & great folks!! We really want to film some of y’all’s tiny homes. ❤️ Thanks for watching & the invite!
Let's hear it for Asian-boho-ecclectic decor!! Brenda, you have a beautiful home! Horrible that you lost your 1st house to a crash, but your new home makes up for it in spades....🥰🥰
Thank you so much, Elisa, and so nice to meet a fellow tiny house dweller! 😄
I have seen this house before and it's one of my favourites. So much character. Love it!
Really a delightful space for a delightful lady! ✨
Thank you so much! 🥰
Congrats on your beautiful home & simple life!
Thank you! 😊
After studying many videos, I still would love to learn more about tiny living safety and security to minimize intruders, fire, upstairs escape, etc. Please provide it in future videos. Thank you !
Check out this tiny house security we made a while back: ruclips.net/video/ipHG3OxBW-o/видео.htmlsi=KCyfOc1aZa1-eEKz 😊
I imagine you were devastated about your first tiny home!
Having lived on a sailboat, there are many similarities.
Yes, tie down things. We learned that one fast.
Nice build there ! I love it!!
Actually, people tell me I had had so many hardships to date, I didn't bat an eyelash on the crash, lol. I do miss items from the original tiny. A sailboat! So cool! How many tie downs do you have? I have sooo many bungees, I just organized them yesterday, haha!
Good suggestions for taking weather conditions into account for where you plan to place your tiny home. Thank you for also sharing important transport considerations.
I absolutely love your tiny home, inside and out......and the "clutter" look as you say? Totally with ya!! I like to know where is what........bathroom!! The 2 smaller rooms on the bottom floor...........and all the mis match color.........love this.
Very beautiful and very functional tiny house. Very cosy especially the loft. Love it. ❤❤❤
Best sleeps ever in this loft. TY! 😴🛏💤
what a beautiful tiny house love the timber use throughout look's so darn cozy. love the outside color as well it is a very well designed home . I am with her on the rustic cabin look , she certainly has a great deal of knowledge on tiny's smart lady .Thank's so much for showing this tiny and letting us meet Brenda I am very impressed with her tiny, her experince and knowledge. Ontario, Canada .
You are most welcome! We’re big fans of the cozy cabin feel especially with eclectic decor. 😄😊
Brenda's home is delightful. This has to be one of the most practical and 'real' tiny home vids I've ever seen... so much knowledge, experience and practical tips. Thanks for sharing ❤
Glad it was helpful!
Such a beautiful , warm and cozy home.
WOW! What an amazing home! Brenda has a lovely demeanor. Really enjoyed the tour!
Glad you enjoyed it! 😊
Your videos are so well produced. My goodness. 🎉 Brenda, I am sorry about your first tiny home, but very happy for you in your 2.0. I'd live here and in Oregon in a heartbeat. Stunningly beautiful place and your home is warm and comfortable. Well done!🎉
Thank you so much!
Thank you for the kind words. It all worked out. And it is a stunningly gorgeous place! 💖
I have been following Brenda since she started her Instagram account. Brenda is amazing !!! Love her tiny house & her cat who is very special as well. Thank you for the tour. ❤🐈
She is! So happy to share about Brenda’s tiny journey 💗💕
Hi! I know you, lol. You are the sweetest! I hope you hang w/Matsu & I as we embark on our next chapter. 😗💞😽💕
Omg, Alexis! & Christian!! Sittin here packin and this comes on to make my day! I love you guys. Who is the A W E S O M E editor! 🤭😃👏🏼
You rock, Lovely lady! Much love to you!💖
Brenda I can't adequately explain how much your tiny home resonated with me. I've been watching tiny home videos for years and seen everythingfrom the biggest top of the line to the most simplistic and yours is the first to make me realize and understand how I truly need my tiny design to be. It's hard to believe yours is only a 20 footer. Love your drop down desks and table and your comfy cozy and clever bedroom/vanity/office. Full size fridge. Washer AND Dryer. Loft. Cat accommodations. Your detailed descriptions and advice on designing one's tiny home were good. Never heard that advice before. I currently measure the space I live in and use the measurements to help me with tiny home living planning and design. I am wishing you much joy. Thank you. And thank you Tiny House Expedition. Your work is awesome!
TY! So much! I'm thrilled it resonates w/you! My original tiny was 20'. I got 4' more space w/2.0 getting to add living area & daybed office! Keep using that tape measure. You'll thank yourself. Much love to you on your journey to living tiny! ❤
@@TinyHouseExpeditionYou can share that love in person soon! 😘💞🍃🍂
Thank you for all the great advice and information! As a person exploring this way of living, it is so important and helpful that people like yourself share your experiences and lessons learned, good and bad. So sorry that the crash happened to you, but glad you recouped and are happy in your new place.
❤Awesome share with great tips 😊
So happy to hear that! 🥰
Thank you T.H.E. fir putting the specs for Brenda's home in the beginning of the video. Ive never seen that before in a tiny home video. Same with the question wording on the left before she answers the questions. I like this new style you're doing.
Me too. I agree. I like seeing the size of the trailer being featured.
Greatly appreciate the positive feedback! Very Tuesday we’ll release videos like this. We’re enjoying mixing it up 😊❤️
Thank you so much for your tips. Very helpful so thankful something turned out good after your tiny house accident. May you have many years of complete happiness and health and your new tiny.
Loved the suggestion for studying your daily routines in order to plan the flow of your tiny home.
Great information. Thank you ❤
Most welcome!
Wonderful tiny and a wealth of important information thank you so much Brenda for doing this video!
You're welcome and thank You! 😊
Love your cozy home
She’s a good speaker
Thank you, John. 😊
Excellent video and information from Brenda. To this point, I had not heard much about some of what she covered. Thank you to all for making this video.
Thank you. I'm so glad you got new tips! 🤗
Appreciate the feedback! 😊
Most welcome!
Thank you and particularly for the insurance information.
Be safe! ❤
It's essential that every person who owns tiny house have in their possesion boho ethnic bedding covers and pillows 😁
What a beautiful tiny house my prayers are to have one I'm just letting that pray be in the hands of God it's nothing like your own and thank you so much for sharing many blessings to you 🙏🏽❤️
Thank you. Many blessings to you. I hope your dreams true. 😊💖
@@brenda1578 thank you so much🙂❤
Enchanted home.
Very Nice!

Thanks on on behalf of me and my builder, Tiny SMART House! 😊
Soo educational!! Thank you
You're so welcome! 😊
Great video!
Thank you kindly!
Thank you for lovely story I wish her all the best wishes cheers from New Zealand 🇳🇿
Cheers! 😊
Aw, thank you and cheers to you in New Zealand! ❤
I love this build
Thank you, David. 😊
Waldport is an amazing town.
Really a beautiful place with down to earth feel 😁😊
So much good info in this video. This is one of the best videos you have done in terms of practical, critical details.
Appreciate the kind feedback ☺️✨
I agree and it's not because I'm in it, lol. Tiny House Expedition is top quality production with humor and heart! ❤🏆❤
Thanks for the inspiring video, well done!
Glad you enjoyed it! 🥰
I'm glad it inspired you Cuz! 🤭😘💞
Magnificent 😊
Appreciate the love! 💕
She has a great video!
The best builder, Tiny Home designs and prices is Incredible Tiny Homes in Newport TN. Randy Jones is the best!
I love the way your TH! How much does something like that cost?
Every time I try to find a place to park one I can’t find anyplace under $800 a month. That’s ridiculously expensive. I’m on a fixed income so $800 a month isn’t working. I thought it was supposed to be cheaper.
I stayed at Duck Creek RV Park for $435. mo. In a NorCal RV park for $375. mo. and in OR in the $600. There are affordable spots out there.
Great advice
Thank you 😊
Lovely!❤️🇺🇸🙏🏻🇦🇷
Beautiful Tiny Hone and you gave helpful tips
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you. 😊❤
Really love and this person ❤
Brenda is a gem 💗
Aw, TY! ❤
Happy Tuesday THE😀n This is 4 Sure Gonna b so Insightful🔥🔥🔥👍….
Hope you dig Brenda's cool tiny home & great advice!
love the new outro :)
Thank you kindly!
Very nice video! Very informative too. Is there a link to that park you were in? They just don’t have tiny home parks down here. It looks like a nice place.
❤
They don't look cluttered
What would be a material good for any environment? It makes sense that a thow would use such material being that it’s movable.
My original tiny and 2.0 were both T1-11 plywood painted in a gray primer and 2 coats of exterior latex paint. This exterior has held up in both heat, salt & rain very well!
Alexis & Christian, since you’re building a Skoolie, are you going to be able to make it to Skoolie Palooza in Ehrenberg this January?
We’ve always wanted to go! Unfortunately we still have a lot of work left to do on our bus; slowly but surely trying to get it done by next fall 🤞🤞
@@TinyHouseExpedition unfinished buses are always welcome, too. 😉
Must have a jacuzzi bathtub with separate shower made of rocks pepple on floor and walls marble and make sure you home has lofts that are used in bedroom must have standing tall area were you can stand to make your bed and loft upstairs can be used as a bedroom or storage also must have full size appliances and wrap around porch for porch swings and barbecue pit and smoker also ceiling fans from Amazon inbedrooms that are glass chandeliers that the blades open and close and in dining area must have a real chandelier antique style and in kitchen chandelier ceiling fan that open and close blades and air exchangers in kitchen and bathroom area and one mini split for heat an air conditioner
How tall was the THOW that crashed?
20' L x 8'-5" W x 13'.5" H. It was just over 13 feet tall, crashed on it's sude about 11,000 lbs.
Umm! Well I see Brenda has one planted :0)
More than one and they have grown. 😊🌲
should plant at least 1 tree on every lot for shade. Just saying :0)
The like button is gone. I've been noticing it on all the pages I've been on today.
Huh 🤔 we’re still seeing it but maybe YT is experimenting with taking it away. We’ll definitely look into this!
This book is awesome if you want to see videos, pictures and drawings of sheds. But if you're looking for plans, forget it. This book doesn't have any. What it does have is a ton of cool stuff about how to build sheds, ruclips.net/user/postUgkxLum--iPp9YKZ09j1BMdHaBMLkrGfIbcm what they can look like, and what you can do with them. The author shows you how to make a base, a frame, a roof, and even how to organize and decorate your shed. The text is super easy to read and get. There are also lots of sidebars with handy tips and tricks that you might not know. The photos are really nice too. This book is great and I think anyone who wants to build a shed or is into sheds should get it.
