Yes. Now, her home wouldn't work for where I am, in nw WI ( and I'd need much larger kitchen and a root cellar in the floor (?)... ) but still an inspiration.
I've been doing a lot of research on Tiny Houses and unfortunately it's better to build on longer trailers like 40ft and 45ft therefore you can get the most out of it. I've been seeing a lot of mistakes people make when they build their Tiny Houses this includes the Tiny House Builders. This Tiny House is nice however she cheated herself out of 20 to 25 additional feet , if she wanted to have a family she would have to build another one and this one took her too long to build
@@ajb.822 as great as floor access root cellars are, root cellars don't actually have to be integrated into the home. Just outside the north door works well too
Don't suffer in silence..reach out..I know I am a stranger, but some of the people who could help you will be the people with similar interests. Add some people on here to social media..you can add me of you want 🙂
I totally started crying my eyes out when I realized another layer of why I went tiny: I needed to create the safe home I never had. The Tiny House of Peace is exactly that, I just never thought of it in those terms. Thank you! ❤️😭❤️
I always admire people that without any prior experience have the confidence and can-do attitude to take on what I would find a daunting project like building a house. I like the aesthetic and minimalism of her home. The one constant that I see with almost all of these tiny home builds is that they tend to have to rely on the generosity of someone with land giving them a place to park their homes. That for me would be a concern. But congrats to her for not only building herself a home, but for turning the experience into a business for herself. Truly remarkable and good for her.
Yes, but hopefully more and more places allow them easier, for those who can buy or rent a lot to put them on. I've seen them in campgrounds, or one that looked like one, anyways. That was in northern IL a few years ago, and several of the campgrounds around there were open year round ( you could live there if u want to, some did ). Here in nw WI, counties to the north west of me ( I'm in Dunn co. ), away from the more urban areas and the interstates , often have less rules etc. for what size of dwelling you can have on your land to live in. It's so dumb though, that they're not allowed at the very least, anywhere a mobile home would be. IMO almost all tiny houses look 10x more attractive than most mobile homes, esp. since that look ( of even the newer mobile homes & "park model" campers ) is so out of style compared to any style of tiny home. Many styles and colors I wouldn't personally choose, I wouldn't mind seeing in my neighborhood ( not all, but most ! ).
Yes, this ^. I love how Mariah has designed her place, and seems to have built confidence and strength along with a wonderful tiny home that suits her needs. The burning of the wood cladding yields a great look along with practical purposes. Well done!
I'm confused! Did you know her before 'her confidence'? It seems the confidence would have already been there for her to take on this project. Just sayin'
Hey there, Ho--Simplistic isn't a compliment to someone. I know you meant it as such but you can just call it simple. Simplistic means overly simple or shallow. I correct people because many times something erroneous gets repeated over and over again and that makes it more deeply ingrained.
@@lemurianchick I get what you are saying, at the same time you should watch how you correct people because it makes you sound a bit holier-than-thou and may make the person who made the mistake double down. I know you didn't want to do that so I'm letting you know. :)
Yeah so simplistic I would call it a glorified "CABIN" not a "TINY HOUSE". This is missing so much; no proper kitchen, no proper bathroom (no bathroom sink and no toilet), no laundry facility. It is easy to see how this simplistic bedroom with shower inside could be so cheap...
@@natalies753 I disagree. What's a "proper kitchen," anyway? There's a cooking element, refrigeration, a sink, counter space, enough storage space for Mariah. Creative use of materials for all the dishes she needs. Seems complete to me! For now, the lack of a toilet works for her (she's young and may not need middle of the night WC visits), with a communal toilet on the property, and her plan to install a composting toilet (somewhere, though unclear where), I think she has that handled. She can use her kitchen sink to wash hands. It's tiny, It's a home. It's where this woman has lived comfortably and happily for 3 years. Seems like an official "tiny home" to me!
Everyone deserves to have a homebase as they find their way in life. Imagine how many young people (and others!) could benefit from this type of living arrangement. More tiny home communities, please!
You mean a glorified cabin... Calling this a home is a bit of an overstatement, it's just a bedroom with a basic extremely simple desk space and a shower...

I see a young woman thinking outside the box to create a beautiful home . Not everyone wants to be in a giant house. You know that most people lived in a single room house built with whatever materials where available. Her tiny house answers her needs and allows her to live her life .In the future she can add to her build . Well done .
The whole home is just a bedroom with a basic extremely simple desk space and a shower... A whole home should have a proper kitchen, a proper bathroom (there is no bathroom sink or even a toilet), and no laundry... This is a glorified cabin not a proper tiny home.
@@natalies753 I think homes can vary a lot, as long as they suit the needs of those living there. I've seen many tiny homes on RUclips that utilize one sink for both kitchen and bathroom needs. And others (not as many, but still) that specifically mention they use public facilities for the bathroom and laundry.
@@musicismylove92 Yes, sorry my comment was more directed at my irritation by the RUclipsr's description of this as a "TINY HOUSE", when it is so lacking, and the price isn't actually that good when it lacks so many basic facilities. The description had me excited for a minute there. But yes, that aside, so long as it suits the person living there. I would personally call this a cabin though, not a tiny house. Can understand using a public laundry if you were just the one person, but don't like the idea of young women (myself included) having to leave their home/building to go to the bathroom after dark. Hope she is living in a safe area!
What a brave young woman to take it on and get it done! Nice design - clean and natural - and she can say "I built my own house" - no matter how long it took! Well done. Be proud!
@Janina Fisher- What made her brave? According to Merriam Webster’s Dictionary, bravery is defined as, “having or showing mental or moral strength to face danger, fear, or difficulty : having or showing courage.” With that in mind, I am trying to figure out how that word applies. Thank you.
@@janinafisher101 I was asking for clarification only…I wasn’t sure in what sense you were using it. I hoped that you weren’t saying it for racial reasons because, in my opinion, that is condescending when people do that but it doesn’t sound like you were. It’s hard to read people sometimes and I’d rather ask questions than assume. I think that your abilities supersede our race, ethnicity, gender, religion, etc. and I was going to interject if that was what you were meaning. I am grateful that doesn’t seem to be the case.
Love, love, love ur shower! Though I wud need my own toilet and I am bougie, I wud need an AC/Heater unit. I totally agree with u on the small kitchen though, I’ve never understood those kitchens that take up half the Tiny house. Oh, and I love the outdoor shower!
I guess some people just like being able to cook healthy food at home by themselves without having to rely on using other people's kitchen's or takeaways. I wouldn't be able to cook my usual healthy meals in that tiny "kitchen". Yeah I couldn't imagine not even have a toilet, or a laundry for that matter. But I guess it's a nice enough cabin for a young girl to have built herself.
@@imcharmed4evr many have the washer/dryer combo in their tiny home or washer and dryer stackable. Sometimes you see them separate in longer ting homes and more Sq ft
The only thing I want is a square tiny kitchen with counter space and a HUGE sink, I can make everything if I have space to prep and a nice sink for clean up. Her home is lovely
Congratulations on building your own home and achieving your goal of stability! I'm always amazed at anyone willing to use public restrooms. I hope that you can get your composting toilet soon.
Wow :)) she is so cool! And, she obviously has quite a gift for architecture and design and building... truly impressive and inspiring, what she's doing... and, how she shares her story is empowering! I know there's a ton of Sweat Equity in this project but what a great investment in her home and in herself. Great video... thank you, Jenna :)
Really impressive achievement considering she had no experience. Making a welded metal frame really seems like it was an advanced approach to tiny home construction. I wonder how well it would do in colder climates -- not sure how much insulation it has and the polycarbonate windows might not do well up north?
I'm impressed that you welded all that. It's a valuable skill and not easy to do. And the way you integrated the metal framing as part of the finish, works better than expected. Good job.
What an amazing job she did! Her house is just beautiful. She made sooo many smart choices! Lifting her bed provides an automatic separation from the rest of the space. And she figured out a super affordable way to have a very small kitchen. Using the birch plywood paneling is modern, sleek and clean all at once. And that shower space is amazing! All of that for only a bit more than $12k is incredible! I hope her business succeeds and helps others find peace and security with clean, elegant design. Wishing her the best!
Way to go!!! THe house you made is BEAUTIFUL! Love the wood burning technique you used for the wood outside your house. Great idea!!! And non toxic! You really did a great job! All the best to you in your field of work. You really made a nice place there. Bravo!
I already saw this house in another video. This is a beautiful home and one I will happily want to see again. Looks so much bigger than 156 sq ft. I love the Japanese outside wood treatment.
Your story was so intriguing. I liked that you shared some personal reasons why you started building your home. This is beautiful and inspirational. Thank you for sharing.
2:38 wanted tot learn architecture, construction and the design process 3:45 build took 5 years desing and planning took 8 months 4:09 coworking maker space in San Diego and a good network of ther builderse 4:38 saved in terms of labor (built herself)
I love this design! I love the bed area! She is such an inspirational young woman! Wow! Smart, articulate and making her dreams come true! I’m hoping to build a tiny house in my retirement in just a few years and know I don’t want to deal with steep stairs to a tiny loft, so her bedroom idea is brilliant! Plus her kitchen is so practical! I love the look of open shelves....and that shower is beautiful and practical! All I’d add is a indoor toilet and a small seating area. So many great ideas! Thank you!
Wow, the exterior and interior (walls) are so similar to the super-expensive one posted at the same time in Living Big in a Tiny House! The bed design is perfect - conserving as much space as if it had been placed in a separate loft! Wow. Just wow. Everything about it is a perfect work of art.
12,000 might sound like a lot but it's basically a years rent of $1000. So, as long as she lives there for more than a year she's made her money back. It's also very cute and essential the size of a small studio apartment. Love!
Given her tiny shack doesn't have a toilet, laundry, proper kitchen etc and she does not own the land, I'm sure she will be paying some rent to live where she's located her shack and for access to the communal facilities.
Beautiful house. Building for warm climates is so much easier than at locations where temperatures range from -25c to +40c... Where full insulation is a must and eg on demand water heaters can definitely not be put outside.
This is I think one of the most genuine and most amazing episodes I have seen. Wow, I love her energy, and she's brilliant. She's amazing. And for that PRICE, WOW
What an inspiration! I love that door as well. I always wondered why exterior doors were so darn expensive. That looks so seamless and works so well. 👏
I am so inspired by Mariah's video! Great, great job and thank you for being so honest and keeping things so simple. I am so blessed to have found this video. Thank you Mariah 💕
Super brave and admirable! What’s great example of doing what needs to be done by educating yourself and good old-fashioned trial and error! Re-watching this video with my 9-year old daughter 💗💗
Absolutely beautiful! Functional, roomy and peaceful space and setting. Another great layout too to show you can go without a loft. Ps Please ignore any negative comments, you've done an amazing job on your home :-)
I'm Inspired beyond! Her beautiful creation! her story! Her Fearless single-mindedness! THANK you for this wonderful journey! One of the best experiences!!!💖
This is one of my favorite tiny houses of all that I have seen. Love the modern, light, airy, look about it. Love the polycarbonate windows, shower, and pull down tables. The price is unbeatable.
Mariah, your story, your house is inspiring and beautiful. I love the simplicity and the "safe, tranquil " aspect of your beautiful tiny. Thank you for sharing a part of your life story....it warmed me
Beautiful home! One of the few tiny homes where the steel front door makes one feel actually safe inside. I often wonder why many tiny homes have front doors with a huge glass panel.
Thank you for introducing Mariah on your channel. Women of color are rarely captured living this lifestyle. Such an inspiration to me and my tiny home endeavers.
Thank you for sharing her home and her story. I will be reaching out to her to see if we can collaborate on some tribal housing soon. You help make the world a better place by sharing! Keep doing what you do!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I absolutely LOOOOVED this! Especially as a woman of color also. She is not only beautiful for very intelligent and caring 💝 Thank you for this video 💗
You have a very beautiful home plus living in California. I lived in Petaluma (37 miles S. of S.F.), had to move after I retired and I hate it where I am at. I miss CA a lot. Take care and best of luck to you in your beautiful home.
What a beautiful home you've created for yourself. I love all the creative design and decorative choices you made. The birch paneling you used for the walls is my favorite material. I'm impressed with your talent.
I do like her inspired tiny home. I like her design style. I although would have to have a toilet because I pee alot with drinking water. 🤷♀️🤦♀️, and I would need a bit more storage space for the pantry and my clothes. Thank you for sharing this idea with me. 😊
You created such a beautiful and organic space! I absolutely love the design for it's modern style and especially it's uniqueness. Thank you for sharing a part of your life with us!
Congratulations to this very strong, driven, young woman. Love her build, and hope only the best for Mariah. Good on her for starting a business and hope it all flourishes/blossomsfor her.🙏🏽💜
I love this tiny home. And I love her vibe I definitely understand growing up in an unstable home and wanting to have that safe space as a result. 💪🏾 💕
🥰❤❤❤MARIAH!!!!! THANK YOU!!!! WOW! As a Blk women I am Soooo inspired to do the same! I dnt have the educational background & finances or skills to do this right now but after watching your beautiful story of your brave journey I am Now very much so in Love with the idea that I too can do the same!!!! Thank you for creating a space for woman like you & Me! I hope that other channels like this can continue to give POC a vc, a chance to show others of ALL backgrounds that WE CAN & Are Doing this too!!! A million thanks!!! ❤God bless you & yours Mariah!
Hi Mariah, I enjoyed your tour - creativity & "let's get it done" initiative. One question, you mentioned "makerspace" - I'm familiar with what that is - how did you utilize it to get your tiny home project started? Thank you Jenna for this share 🌠
So happy for you! Delightful and enchanting. I like that you are speaking your heart and soul not afraid to say you had struggles, many people have a hard time sharing their hurts and difficulties in life. I believe your story is that of many and yet you found a way to connect to the rest of us.
Beautiful Tiny House, and I think you have done an extraordinary project for the price. It suits your needs in every way. Well done. You can be proud of yourself and this video has been very inspiring!
Do you think this is a good price for a Tiny House? Or would you pay more or less?
Yes it is an amazing price and she has everything she needs. Love it
I would pay more for better house.
Pay less
I think it's a great price I really loved it and the whole layout of it , great style!! :)
Defintely an amazing price. This is the coolest I have seen so far. The minimalism is impressive. Not to mention her building it herself!
Finally, a tiny house with a tiny price. You ARE the example for others to explore their way.
Yes. Now, her home wouldn't work for where I am, in nw WI ( and I'd need much larger kitchen and a root cellar in the floor (?)... ) but still an inspiration.

@@musicismylove92 no, its not "different points of view"
every person has to take a shit and bathe/shower.
so is this a home?
What a brave young woman to take it on and get it done! Nice design - clean and natural - and she can say "I built my own house" - no matter how long it took! Well done. Be proud!
@Janina Fisher- What made her brave? According to Merriam Webster’s Dictionary, bravery is defined as, “having or showing mental or moral strength to face danger, fear, or difficulty : having or showing courage.” With that in mind, I am trying to figure out how that word applies. Thank you.
@@natashamiller4860 If you don't think she faced difficulty in building her own house perhaps you should try it yourself.
@@janinafisher101 I was asking for clarification only…I wasn’t sure in what sense you were using it. I hoped that you weren’t saying it for racial reasons because, in my opinion, that is condescending when people do that but it doesn’t sound like you were. It’s hard to read people sometimes and I’d rather ask questions than assume. I think that your abilities supersede our race, ethnicity, gender, religion, etc. and I was going to interject if that was what you were meaning. I am grateful that doesn’t seem to be the case.
Her "person of color ".... 🤔 unnecessary info & doesn't ring true.
Love, love, love ur shower! Though I wud need my own toilet and I am bougie, I wud need an AC/Heater unit. I totally agree with u on the small kitchen though, I’ve never understood those kitchens that take up half the Tiny house. Oh, and I love the outdoor shower!
love the shower! It's def my fav part of her house.
I guess some people just like being able to cook healthy food at home by themselves without having to rely on using other people's kitchen's or takeaways. I wouldn't be able to cook my usual healthy meals in that tiny "kitchen". Yeah I couldn't imagine not even have a toilet, or a laundry for that matter. But I guess it's a nice enough cabin for a young girl to have built herself.
Natalie Z - Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, no laundry machine, no one seems to have that, I need that, I’m not going to a laundromat.
@@imcharmed4evr many have the washer/dryer combo in their tiny home or washer and dryer stackable. Sometimes you see them separate in longer ting homes and more Sq ft
The only thing I want is a square tiny kitchen with counter space and a HUGE sink, I can make everything if I have space to prep and a nice sink for clean up. Her home is lovely
I love the japanese influences with the walls and the kitchen! Super beautiful build! Impressed!
Congratulations on building your own home and achieving your goal of stability! I'm always amazed at anyone willing to use public restrooms. I hope that you can get your composting toilet soon.
Wow :)) she is so cool! And, she obviously has quite a gift for architecture and design and building... truly impressive and inspiring, what she's doing... and, how she shares her story is empowering! I know there's a ton of Sweat Equity in this project but what a great investment in her home and in herself. Great video... thank you, Jenna :)
Really impressive achievement considering she had no experience. Making a welded metal frame really seems like it was an advanced approach to tiny home construction. I wonder how well it would do in colder climates -- not sure how much insulation it has and the polycarbonate windows might not do well up north?
Agreed, there would be a lot of thermal bridging..it works well for temperate zones
I'm impressed that you welded all that. It's a valuable skill and not easy to do. And the way you integrated the metal framing as part of the finish, works better than expected. Good job.
What an amazing job she did! Her house is just beautiful. She made sooo many smart choices! Lifting her bed provides an automatic separation from the rest of the space. And she figured out a super affordable way to have a very small kitchen. Using the birch plywood paneling is modern, sleek and clean all at once. And that shower space is amazing! All of that for only a bit more than $12k is incredible! I hope her business succeeds and helps others find peace and security with clean, elegant design. Wishing her the best!
I love Mariah's beautifully-designed tiny home, with the burnt wood cladding, awesome shower, and minimalist style. Thanks for sharing. Jenny :o)
Way to go!!! THe house you made is BEAUTIFUL! Love the wood burning technique you used for the wood outside your house. Great idea!!! And non toxic! You really did a great job! All the best to you in your field of work. You really made a nice place there. Bravo!
This is one of the most beautiful tiny houses I’ve seen, especially in that price range! Awesome job!
Love the design and the simplicity of it.👍👍❤ Thanks Jenna for sharing her story.
I already saw this house in another video. This is a beautiful home and one I will happily want to see again. Looks so much bigger than 156 sq ft. I love the Japanese outside wood treatment.
🙌🏽🙌🏽She’s beautiful & so is her home!😊👌🏽
Your story was so intriguing. I liked that you shared some personal reasons why you started building your home. This is beautiful and inspirational. Thank you for sharing.
2:38 wanted tot learn architecture, construction and the design process
3:45 build took 5 years
desing and planning took 8 months
4:09 coworking maker space in San Diego and a good network of ther builderse
4:38 saved in terms of labor (built herself)
I love how you used the nook over the hitch as your shower! So glad you trusted yourself and inspired others, too!
Love the build! The exposed conduit looks really good too
I love this design! I love the bed area! She is such an inspirational young woman! Wow! Smart, articulate and making her dreams come true! I’m hoping to build a tiny house in my retirement in just a few years and know I don’t want to deal with steep stairs to a tiny loft, so her bedroom idea is brilliant! Plus her kitchen is so practical! I love the look of open shelves....and that shower is beautiful and practical! All I’d add is a indoor toilet and a small seating area. So many great ideas! Thank you!
Wow, the exterior and interior (walls) are so similar to the super-expensive one posted at the same time in Living Big in a Tiny House!
The bed design is perfect - conserving as much space as if it had been placed in a separate loft!
Wow. Just wow. Everything about it is a perfect work of art.
Love the style, finishes and textures you've selected. You're brilliant! Continue to bless and be blessed.
Totally an excellent design! And the creator is even more exceptional! I am blown away by everything you managed to accomplish on so tiny a budget!
I love that you did this yourself! I too live in San Diego, in Chula Vista! It is my near future dream to design & build a tiny house too!
Hi! I wish to live there and wondering how can i acheive building something as she did? How is life there?
Absolutely gorgeous home! I am awed by her style and the functionality of the space. Love.
12,000 might sound like a lot but it's basically a years rent of $1000. So, as long as she lives there for more than a year she's made her money back. It's also very cute and essential the size of a small studio apartment. Love!
Given her tiny shack doesn't have a toilet, laundry, proper kitchen etc and she does not own the land, I'm sure she will be paying some rent to live where she's located her shack and for access to the communal facilities.
Beautiful house. Building for warm climates is so much easier than at locations where temperatures range from -25c to +40c... Where full insulation is a must and eg on demand water heaters can definitely not be put outside.
This is I think one of the most genuine and most amazing episodes I have seen. Wow, I love her energy, and she's brilliant. She's amazing. And for that PRICE, WOW
What an incredibly talented and inspirational young woman!
That’s awesome. Good for her. Glad she has a place she can call home. Big difference from living somewhere and having a home.
That's a huge point, Andrew!👍
What an inspiration! I love that door as well. I always wondered why exterior doors were so darn expensive. That looks so seamless and works so well. 👏
I am in my sixties and look forward to buying a tiny home or container home with the basics and then add my own touch to it. Your build is awesome!
These videos are so polished, well edited and presented. Thank you so much :)
Really appreciate her context and background on the why. I can relate to the need for a safe space that I can count on.
You’re an extremely talented and creative young lady. Congratulations and keep building and enjoy your beautiful home.
WOW, what a home! incredibly beautiful.
I am so inspired by Mariah's video! Great, great job and thank you for being so honest and keeping things so simple. I am so blessed to have found this video. Thank you Mariah 💕
Awesome! Love ur front door so unique! Black and wood contrast,placement of windows, everything is well planned out, 🌺🌈🌴🌋💥🤙🏾🥂
Super brave and admirable! What’s great example of doing what needs to be done by educating yourself and good old-fashioned trial and error! Re-watching this video with my 9-year old daughter 💗💗
Absolutely beautiful! Functional, roomy and peaceful space and setting. Another great layout too to show you can go without a loft. Ps Please ignore any negative comments, you've done an amazing job on your home :-)
I'm Inspired beyond! Her beautiful creation! her story! Her Fearless single-mindedness! THANK you for this wonderful journey! One of the best experiences!!!💖
Wow, can’t believe she learned how to do all of this herself. Amazing effort! I am extremely inspired. Love this space 😍
This is so beautiful and serene, I really like the half loft idea, very cleaver, yet practical design. Great Job with the windows/natural light too.
This is probably one of the most beautiful tiny homes that I have seen!
This is one of my favorite tiny houses of all that I have seen. Love the modern, light, airy, look about it. Love the polycarbonate windows, shower, and pull down tables. The price is unbeatable.
Such an amazing accomplishment. Inspiring! Beautiful.
Mariah, your story, your house is inspiring and beautiful. I love the simplicity and the "safe, tranquil " aspect of your beautiful tiny. Thank you for sharing a part of your life story....it warmed me
❤ Love this one ❤ The best Tiny House channel out there 👍
Beautiful home! One of the few tiny homes where the steel front door makes one feel actually safe inside. I often wonder why many tiny homes have front doors with a huge glass panel.
Thank you for introducing Mariah on your channel. Women of color are rarely captured living this lifestyle. Such an inspiration to me and my tiny home endeavers.
Thank you for sharing her home and her story. I will be reaching out to her to see if we can collaborate on some tribal housing soon. You help make the world a better place by sharing! Keep doing what you do!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I absolutely LOOOOVED this! Especially as a woman of color also. She is not only beautiful for very intelligent and caring 💝 Thank you for this video 💗
You have a very beautiful home plus living in California. I lived in Petaluma (37 miles S. of S.F.), had to move after I retired and I hate it where I am at. I miss CA a lot. Take care and best of luck to you in your beautiful home.
Really nice and clean - for s warm climate! Impressive that she taught herself all the skills!
Like the great use of space/design & simple clean look of your tiny home Mariah! You are definitely an inspiration to all women! Thanks!
Classic example of what solo women can do, more power to women! Amazing inspiration 💜
It's so nice and inspiring to see a young lady to build her own house. Congratulations and lots of happiness her way!🙌🏽🌺
Such an creative and sympathetic young woman!!! 👏
What a fabulous job you have done and such a lovely space for a good affordable price X love it!🌳💚🌺
Your videos are inspiring.
What a beautiful home you've created for yourself. I love all the creative design and decorative choices you made. The birch paneling you used for the walls is my favorite material. I'm impressed with your talent.
I do like her inspired tiny home. I like her design style. I although would have to have a toilet because I pee alot with drinking water. 🤷♀️🤦♀️, and I would need a bit more storage space for the pantry and my clothes. Thank you for sharing this idea with me. 😊
You created such a beautiful and organic space! I absolutely love the design for it's modern style and especially it's uniqueness. Thank you for sharing a part of your life with us!
Mariah's attitude is incredible. Herherselfcould all learn a lot from this girl.
Wow!! I’m impressed. Very well thought out and very well done. Kudos to this young lady. She really really crested an amazing home for herself.
I mean.. imagine having that for every single member of family of 4..
You get a pretty cool house for about 50k !
A house without a toilet, no proper kitchen, no laundry and not owning the land. I don't think this was a great deal for 12K, it's basic as...
very inspirational episode. love the energy i'm getting from this! best wishes to mariah as she continues this journey.
Beautiful!! You go girl👍
Congratulations to this very strong, driven, young woman. Love her build, and hope only the best for Mariah. Good on her for starting a business and hope it all flourishes/blossomsfor her.🙏🏽💜
Congratulations! It's beautiful! 🌹
I love this tiny home. And I love her vibe I definitely understand growing up in an unstable home and wanting to have that safe space as a result. 💪🏾 💕
🥰❤❤❤MARIAH!!!!! THANK YOU!!!! WOW! As a Blk women I am Soooo inspired to do the same! I dnt have the educational background & finances or skills to do this right now but after watching your beautiful story of your brave journey I am Now very much so in Love with the idea that I too can do the same!!!! Thank you for creating a space for woman like you & Me! I hope that other channels like this can continue to give POC a vc, a chance to show others of ALL backgrounds that WE CAN & Are Doing this too!!! A million thanks!!! ❤God bless you & yours Mariah!
Fantastic Tiny Home!!! So tasteful and the use of space is brilliant! 👏👏👏👏 Bravo!
Hi Mariah, I enjoyed your tour - creativity & "let's get it done" initiative.
One question, you mentioned "makerspace" - I'm familiar with what that is - how did you utilize it to get your tiny home project started?
Thank you Jenna for this share 🌠
So happy for you! Delightful and enchanting. I like that you are speaking your heart and soul not afraid to say you had struggles, many people have a hard time sharing their hurts and difficulties in life. I believe your story is that of many and yet you found a way to connect to the rest of us.
this is everything that i need👍
Beautiful Tiny House, and I think you have done an extraordinary project for the price. It suits your needs in every way. Well done. You can be proud of yourself and this video has been very inspiring!
