Nice touch to add the visual examples! 👌👌 I think it would be fun and interesting to see a video with a collection of the best tiny home solutions you guys have seen over the years.
i love how y'all not just give a tour but how it can be improved for full time, expertise is valued. also love how your ads are funny. 😂 appreciate the work that goes into these videos so glad you got a good desk for it. hehe
Great ideas. Súper honest review. Its funny when people try to make everything cozy and quirky but sometimes it’s just not functional and you guys showed that.
Love your idea commentaries so much! ❤ Also your sponsorship humor. 😄 For me, a must-have is a window eye-level or lower from the couch. 🌿 I would also ideally add at least a foot to the living room and make the end wall a combo of fireplace with taller mirror above, hidden storage, and TONS of book shelves with plants and art mixed in and space for a lamp and a cup of tea by the sofa. Cozy! 🤓❤📚🪴🫖 With a curtain rod between the living room and kitchen and a bed-length couch, you could have a first-floor guest room plus flexibility for aging in place or recuperating from injury. : - )
Thank you so much! 🥰😜 Great feedback and really appreciate your comment on eye level window. Looking out our living room windows is a favorite pastime. Clever solution for having a bed accessible on the main floor but with a sense of separation 👌👌
What a brilliant and inspiring episode! I really loved hearing all your excellent ideas for full time living. Will be saving this post for my future build! ❤Thanks 🙏🏻
Your experience in TH living really shows here. Lots of good ideas to maximise space. In this model surprised the window in the lounge is so high up. When you’re sitting down you can’t enjoy the views from your window.
Beautiful home! I love how you offer suggestions to make a home more functional….i get great design ideas with each of your videos and write them in my “tiny home planning notebook”. Thank you!
This one is cute but not really what I’m looking for. One thing I keep thinking about is … where would you put your dirty laundry ? Also- the living room isn’t cozy to me. One must have for me is some form of a fireplace and a much much bigger tv that what was shown. I do like the idea of separation in the kitchen and the deck outside is absolutely a must have also. And mostly I’m hoping the people of the community didn’t get flooded and are praying for the people who did. Thanks for showing us around !!! ❤️🏡
Yes! Those are just the kinds of questions you should be asking-the mundane simple but super important details. 👊😁😊 Also very happy to report that the entire Acony Bell community fared very well during the recent hurricane flooding-no one hurt or homes permanently damaged. ❤️
I also would take the sitting/landing area that I would never use and extend the closet in the BR, which also moves heat/cool split closer to where it is needed. Like your ideas and agree with pull out "spice/can" storage racks in as many places as possible, but storage under the bed is bad feng shui, but ok under stairs.
Great Tiny but why are the TV’s always so high up? That is totally not okay. When watching it the hight should be in your eye line or lower. Putting it too high is not good for your body, neck and eyes.❤
We hear you! If mounting a TV higher on the wall is the only place to fit in, a simple solution would be to get one of those fantastic wall mounts that allows you to dramatically pull down the TV and tilt in multiple directions 🤔
@ there is nothing wrong with putting it lower than your eye line, the floor even. But please never above as that can result in serious bodily harm. Neck and shoulder problems, headaches etc. Ask your chiropractor .🤞
I've always wondered why the collapsable (to the wall) ladders aren't used more. Any idea why? You get the ladder out of the way, and you could also make it a bit wider as well and I've seen some really pretty wooden ones. I love the shower stall floor in this one. So pretty! Great tips to make it more FT living friendly! Edit: Also, I really want that kitty flowerpot that's in the bedroom closet! I wish I knew where they purchased it.
Such a great point! We’ll have to think on that more. 🤔 Perhaps because of the amount of wall space needed for folding it or likely because people forget that’s option.
First of all I love your commercials you guys do, they always make me laugh. I liked your ideas, I always do, you guys know your stuff. The one thing that bothers me is when they have the second bedroom on top or even third and there is no privacy wall. People need a place to change without being seen and who wants to be watched while you're sleeping? Not everyone wants to run to the bathroom to change.
Thank you kindly! 😄 In our tiny house, we never changed in the loft because it was too difficult without being able to stand up. But we hear you, in some cases, a privacy screen at least would be helpful 😊
Yes but spices in an Airbnb you have to be careful for allergy's and people messing or contaminating them... I run my brother's Airbnb and I finally got some Lawry's seasoned salt and some cayenne pepper I did get the condiments like packages of mayonnaise mustard and the guests like that they use them so they don't have to buy full size. You have to be careful with food items in an Airbnb. 16:19
We so appreciate you and your sweet feedback! 🥰 We’re having such a great time with this small space design series. It’s so tough to get a feel for what it would be like to live in a tiny home and vacation rentals help, besides some not being setup for that, it’s important to go in with a critical eye for the right details. 😁👌✨
Super honest review with a huge negative almost condescending vibe hahaha whoever created it obviously didnt have much experience for the size of few items and details. But why make a video to advertise if its not done correctly, not suitable for living, and you both seem to hate it and pissed? Either put on a smile and have fun with good vibes to get it rented or do it as a separate video of how to upgrade a tiny that hasn't had expertise put into it. Just saying. Great job - love the channel.
Not meant to be condescending at all. We enjoy sharing ideas from the huge amount of tiny homes we’ve seen and our personal build experience. The idea with this series is to help people interested tiny home living figure out what they need and see all the ways you can use a small/tiny space. Many people rent Airbnbs as a way to test out tiny living before going for it, but many Airbnbs aren’t set up for full time living. We just want to encourage people to think more deeply about space efficiency, what would work best for them and what wouldn’t. It can be difficult to visualize how to layout or optimize a space, so we hope by sharing our ideas it helps to get the wheels turning for others wanting to live this way. As we said, we genuinely think this is a wonderful Airbnb and can be lived in now but have ideas to create more usable space. This is something we share with the Airbnb owners before we shoot.
Christian, are you SURE that deck is 25 x 25'??? This tiny's design has some good things going for it. One thing I never like is a sitting area (in this one, the sofa) where you can't look directly out the window - only up. For myself I would have the window start about 2' from the ground. Another option to lower the window would be to not have the seating and the "bar" be bar height, but normal table height, with normal height seats. Another option for a wider bar shelf would be one that is as narrow as the one shown, but with another shelf that wide attached by a hinge on the room side that pulls up from the wall and over into the room to double the width, with some pull-out supports that fold into the wall under the shelf. I really liked your suggested improvements, especially the idea of a pull-out set of shelves beside the shower! The cabinets in the kitchen looked really poorly built - hard to believe they put that door on in the middle of that pot cabinet. Major boo boo! Thanks as always for your video. And Christian, I want one of those L-shaped desks that I could raise or lower for my art studio!!!
Oops! Meant to say 16’ x 16’. 😅 Great notes! We totally appreciate your preference on being able to directly look out the window on the sofa. 🛋️ The L-shape is pretty swanky feeling!
Thanks! We can understand that. However, airflow is often an issue across a tiny house so we can see why having a second in a separate bedroom or at least a window unit 😅
If I were the owners of the air B & B, I don’t think I’d be happy. I get your review and expert advice but even then, some of what you had to say would not work for me. Using an Air B & B is not the same as full time living. I understand you guys are the experts and have good input for full time living but, this tiny home is complete and ready for guests for a night or two.
Thank you for the feedback. We genuinely like this tiny house Airbnb, and the others we share, but it as you said, they’re not typically set up for full time living. We hope to inspire hope wanting to live tiny to use their Airbnb stays as productive research for what would work well for them, and what doesn’t. This concept of sharing a tour then our space optimization ideas is something we discuss with the owners before filming.
Definitely get that! They’re so many great one level tiny home designs these days, like this one: ruclips.net/video/JARU4a2VZ94/видео.htmlsi=vF-Tr53Ax8ZuXGBt
Hey Christion and Alexis, I'm working you with countertop , not much room to stretch out, but you could get a cutting board that fits the sink, then you have all that counter👍🌞. JO JO IN VT 💞
Greetings and Salutations Well That absolutely a wire pole framed household That 1,000 sq ft or so that I pay for with my family only has freeze dried lasagna you can cook indoors Free chocolate prickly pears be in there though That's back when Troy Jr use to want to sit in his high chair all the time watch TV without the lights on. . . . . To this day I don't know where my cream coat German Shepard got off to that day 💯
cute but not for me , i would like a lower window in the living room so i don't have to stand to look out and an L shaped sofa with storage , lower TV, I have neck issues . Kitchen is nice , But why not a fold down table in kitchen, and different stairs going up with storage for folding kitchen chairs. definitely needs storage. like your storage ideas for kitchen.
We get that. 😁 In this series, we try to share ideas to help people considering living in a tiny home. Many folks stay in Airbnbs to help decide if they could do it and what size, etc works well for them.

Acony Bell is a beautiful place. I had a tour before they added the newer section. Nice community and really pretty location.
Happy to hear it! We love Acony Bell, one of our very favorite tiny home communities ❤️

Thanks Guys👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 Always like when you

You are so welcome! 😊💖
You and your show are my favorites.
Thank you very much 🥰
This is a really, really nice tiny house!!
Spices are best kept away from heat so I'd put the spice rack on the wall, in this particular home.
Extremely nice 👌
You can also fabricate a u shaped wood sofa arm cuff for each side of the sofa. I had that done. Perfect.
Ooh love that idea!
I also would take the sitting/landing area that I would never use and extend the closet in the BR, which also moves heat/cool split closer to where it is needed. Like your ideas and agree with pull out "spice/can" storage racks in as many places as possible, but storage under the bed is bad feng shui, but ok under stairs.

I've had several of those pole shelves in the shower....they rust.
Oh darn :/ good to know!
the ladder for the loft over the bathroom is steering you towards the ceiling you hit your head on.
Fair point 😅
This beautiful ❤

I've always learned not to store your spices by the stove. I often see it done in tiny home videos, and can't figure out why?
What’s bad about storing them near the stove? 🤔
@TinyHouseExpedition Heat will degrade the chemicals and essential oils and reduce their flavor. Also, they shouldn't be stored in direct sunlight.
First of all I love your commercials you guys do, they always make me laugh. I liked your ideas, I always do, you guys know your stuff.

I love this home but personally I need a bigger area to have a table/chairs for meals.
Was this filmed before Helene?
It was. Fortunately Acony Bell fared very well. They had a little flooding and downed trees but all cleaned up. Most importantly no one was hurt 💗
I need a separate washer and dryer; and a Large Shower (walk in) !
Also need a Chef’s Kitchen!
We’re definitely fans of small stackable W/D over combo units 😄
good video , zero need for 2 ductless hp outdoor heads for less than 350 sq ft , equipment design flaw.
